this patch was 125mb, and at the 1.5million users worldwide that puts you at 187,500 gig of data THEORETICALLY. now, here is what im curious about, whats the cost of bandwidth on a scale that large?
they use bit torrent which is a peer-to-peer sharing deal. blizzard sprinkles a few copies of the patch out there and then we all bear the brunt of hosting it while we download it. costs them nothing.

btw patcher says 32.5mb for me, not 125.
