I would guess much much less. Possibly only a quarter of that at the most, and that too only in the summer. Only a skeleton crew ever spends the winter there.
Interestingly I heard that Antartica is the only continent in the world that is not connected via submarine fibre-optic cables. All comms and internet for the Scientists down there goes via satellite.
