the rate is completely based on your available bandwidth. if you have netflix not throttled. it will keep testing your bandwidth pipe and use all it can.
thus a "hd" movie will keep compressing till it can play without stuttering even if that mean 1Mbit a second. If your on a fast pipe, it can be 12Mbit a second.
thus it can be anywhere from 600MB-2GB for SD, and significantly higher for HD
This is exactly right for Netflix/Amazon. I have 1Mb/s at home. Netflix and Amazon do OK, not great, with that. Even Hulu, though does poorly. They do use better compression than all other sites, but they take as much bandwidth as they can get to get you a good picture. I think that not only will you run over your total usage quickly, but in many areas you will not be able to get the necessary bandwidth until more places are 4G.
