No offense taken at all
We run the gamut, and I will say that in general you'll max out your drive I/O capacity before you fully utilize 250GB.
We host some sites w/ over 40TB of content - these sites obviously have a *much* different architecture than your standard dedicated server configurations you'll see mass-marketed
Scaling static content is fairly interesting to me, and it's a fun time w/ the numerous technologies out there (fusionIO, huge RAM cache boxes, SSD, etc.).
As for your question Maxpower - it depends! In general, a single server should be able to easily push far more than 100mbit. However, in the end your content set and user access patterns will dictate your growth path on the static end.
