That's what 20 MB blocks require.  That means, you receive the blockchain, that's 84 gigabytes per month.  You send the blockchain to one peer, that's another 84 gigabytes per month.

I would add to this that a lot of people do not run bitcoin nodes and instead rely on light wallets.
Perhaps scaling bitcoin with sidechains is a better idea  Huh Smiley
