not if you are doing 200gb of TRANSFER DAILY, because thats 6000gb TRANSFER which equals roughly 30Mbps of BANDWIDTH

bandwidth is a capacity amount
transfer is the amount pushed through that capacity

like water in a water hose. the hose is the bandwidth, the water is the transfer.
the hose only has 100mbps of capacity and in 1 month you will only be able to push a certain amount of transfer through that specific sized hole.

theoretical numbers equate 1mbps into 320gb, but that is if you are doing 1Mbps FLAT (without going below or above, EVER) for 1 month. then it is 320GB/month. if you dip (and you will cause your traffic will come and go) below the 1mbps you will get less transfer out of that 1Mbps.
