...as a percentage of theoretical capacity...

0...never use it ever
100...I push the connection 24/7

Please also specify what connection you're using (its meaningless info otherwise so play ball here). ADSL/3G/fiber/whatever.
 
I'll go first

On 50 meg fiber - usages <1 of capacity

----

Previously on ADSL:
4 meg...probably round the 10% mark
before that
512/1 meg...pushed it near 24/7
 
On PC (always on) ADSL: 4Mbps uncapped - 80%
On tablet/iPad (while away from PC) 3G: 21Mbps 3GB cap - 20%

yes 100%

While I sleep my ADSL works on my night surfer downloads...
 
40Mbs DSL - 20% (utilisation)

LTE 1GB - 95% (of cap)
 
10% on average
100% in bursts (typically movie time Friday or Saturday)
 
On 50Mbps optical fibre. It's probably used around 50%-70% of the time, for basic Internet browsing, streaming radio or streaming TV and video (like Netflix etc). We used 290GB last month.
 
Before I lost all my series probably 50% of cap, now 100%... Line probably running full tilt only 50% of the time though because I'm away from the house a lot and switch things off in case the puppy eats the wires;)
 
Afrihost 3G - manage to stay within 20gigs most months.

Would love to have DSL - but alas due to useless developers that is not a viable option for me at the moment.

Its because my wife and in laws have figured out that using my wifi is cheaper than their OOB rates.

And they watch every facebook video someone likes.

I kill it with imgur
 
I use 10% of my ADSL and 30% of my mobile.
