I remember getting punishment from parents for downloading 120MB World of Tanks update over metered home internet. Our monthly quota was 250MB. It was not that long ago, 2010.

2010 was a couple years after YouTube enabled 1080p uploads. 250MB a month was insanely small in 2010.
Third world country fo ya. We got home internet in ~2007 and I remember visiting friends to have exciting YouTube-watching activity.
In the late '90s, a friend recommended I download some freeware from a website. It was 1.2MB. I told him "are you crazy? 1.2MB? It's gonna take a whole week!"
