Just so we all can guestimate if we're equiped for and financially able to consider consumption of the firehose, in average, what's the daily data throughput on a firehose stream?

The other levels of Streaming access are not only considerably more cost effective for all parties, they are also (nearly) sufficient for the vast majority of applications.
