    Does each user watch a 30MB video? If so, then surely you'll be using 3000GB of bandwidth?

    This is quite a lot, so you might be best off with either a large/high bandwidth VPS, or a small dedicated server.

    Go for unlimited bandwidth. You never know what will happen in future. What if 100,000 users increases to 150,000? Get yourself a good hosting package.

    3,000 GB at 30MB per video supports 300,000 / 30 = 30,000 users

    no? I think i will need more then that

    No, 3,000 GB = 3,000,000 MB. 3,000,000 / 30 = 100,000 users
