The current relay firehose has more than 250 subscribers. It's served more than 8.5Gbps in real-world peak traffic sustained for ~12 hours a day. That being said, Jetstream is a lot more friendly for devs to get started with consuming than the full protocol firehose, and helps grow the ecosystem of cool projects people build on the open network.

Also, this was a fun thing I built mostly in my free time :)

Also it's just not those concrete 190GBs a day. It's the 6x traffic you can fit in the same pipe :D

Yeah exactly! The longer we can make it without having to shard the firehose, the better. It's a lot less complex to consume as a single stream.
