How much bandwidth (in megabytes) do average households in U.S. use -- by urban, suburban, and rural?

Show the average for each of urban, suburban, and rural household types for internet access.
Include citations for sources.
Bonus for showing trend in use over years.
Bonus for including business use by geographic area.
Tip for best answer: M$5.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

According to a study by the Internet Innovation Alliance, "By 2010, the average household will be using 1.1 terabytes of bandwidth a
month."
Unfortunately, they do not give stats for bandwidth usage by region.

In order to determine US residential broadband speeds, In-Stat recently surveyed over 700 broadband households. These households use several different types of broadband access technologies, to include cable modem service, DSL, Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), satellite broadband, and fixed wireless. A key part of this survey consisted of the households taking a broadband “speed test” administered by an online bandwidth measurement site. The results of this survey included:

* The average downstream speed of a US broadband connection is 3.8Mbps, while the average upstream speed is 980Kbps.
* FTTH connections offer the fastest broadband speeds, followed by cable modem and DSL connections. The average downstream FTTH speed was 8.8 Mbps, while cable modem connections averaged 4.9 Mbps and DSL averaged 2.1 Mbps.
* The average monthly price for broadband service is currently just over $38.
* Over 83% of respondents to the In-Stat consumer survey stated they were either “very satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied” with their current connection.
