60TB hypothetically would be 200mbit at full capacity, all the time for an entire month. The real numbers are +- on that, but that should give you an idea.

As you've seen on your charts, though, usage isn't consistent like that. It looks more like a bad day in the stock market with huge swings of up to 50% or more, depending on the type of traffic. So, to "average" out to 200 megabit, which would approximately equal this 60TB, a hosting client would realistically need 300-400 megabit of open pipe to accomodate with the swings that are perfectly healthy and to be expected with such traffic.
