It doesn't matter. You are downloading from the internet. If you weren't, then they wouldn't require an internet connection to do it. Yes, you are downloading form one of their servers, but you are still downloading over the internet.
Either way, I think the point has been made- it's not far fetched at all for a family to use 1, 2, or even 3 TB of data in a month, while only doing normal things. The people saying that was abuse or whatever were only considering a single person's use, not a family's.
