I completely disagree with this statement.
There are many factors that affect the average upload/download speed of a seedbox but monthly bandwidth has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Can you please elaborate on how you got to these numbers?

Yes of course.

total monthly used upload bandwitch = upload-speed*60*60*24*30
Which means that
5*1024*1024 = x*60*60*24*30
5242880 = 2592000x
x = 2,0227160493827160493827160493827

I am good at math
That's the average upload speed what is allowed by 5 TB monthly traffic limit.

You see? You said average amount of speed, not average monthly speed
Considering that all factors are constant, which they are not you might be right.
But i can argue that for example the average upload speed that my seedbox is working is 20MB/s. So my 5TB will expire in 3.03 days. But still my average upload speed is 20MB/s isn't it?

That's the trick what seedboxs say
You are able to get 20MB/s or even 30MB/s upload speed, just only for a short amount of time, while another seedbox is downloading from you So it's way more important to count with the total monthly average and not with the average what you get when you are "lucky".

lol man. Trick? What are you talking about?

Seedboxes are not getting tired. They obviously have high upload speeds while other users download from you. If you add THE LATEST torrent on a tracker your upload speed will be very high. While more and more users are downloading/seeding the same torrent, the speed is getting lower and lower (obviously).
If you add THE LATEST torrent again, the upload speed will be very high once again. You just have to add new torrents all day long and you will upload full speed (or so) 24/7.

It's just stupid to waste your time this way, while you have 5-10 TB buffer on your trackers, enough buffer to download everything you really need for the next years.

That's what the seedboxes are for To make nice buffers on several trackers easily. By the way that's why I don't like limited bandwitch seedboxes, because even if they can seed faster invidual torrents, by using them we can very easily run out of bandwitch which is actually not too much. It sounds like a bombastic thing, that wow, they offer 5TB bandwitch with 20Gbps speed, which is more than enough, but in reality 5TB bandwitch means a 100% 0-24 used 20Mbps network.

But again it depends what is your endgame?
Are you a long term seeder or you just want to build some buffer? Or maybe you are a seedbox junkie.
For example 5TB bandwidth as per your example can build you 1TB buffer in 5 trackers.
Don't know about you but this can last me for a supply of TV shows for a lifetime. And I really don't care if I make this buffer in 1 month, 1 week or 1 day. Still the same buffer

Anyway in conclusion....average seedbox speed makes little to no difference. It's up to the end user to decide which seedbox to purchase according to his needs which can be hard disk space, speed, bandwidth, budget...and the list goes on
