1 Gigabyte (GB) = 8,000 Megabits (mb)
10 Gigabytes (GB) = 80,000 Megabits (mb)
80,000mb / 2mbps = 40,000 Seconds = 666min = ~11 Hours.
Is that right? You get 11 Hours of Internet use per month (~22min per day) with a 10GB cap?
Is a 2 mbps download speed a resonable value for a G1 on a 3G network? |
your conversion is right... sorta. but your logic is wrong.
everytime you use the internet, you dont constantly stream 2mbps every second you read a website. every page you load is probably only a few hundred kb (and thats with pretty image heavy pages) then it stops. it doesn't need to constantly update itself every other second sending data back and forth. Can you imagine if the web was designed this way? web servers would eat up so much bandwidth.. they would all need supercomputers just to host a website.
