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? |
That's assuming that you are constantly downloading at the Maximum speed of the network. If you did 11 hours of torrenting that maxed the connection out, you would reach 10GB. Loading webpages (which are quite small), that you read before you load another one, or even youtube videos, would make it very hard to hit a 10G cap.
I know someone in NZ who has a 10GB/mo cap for his home connection at a broadband speed, and he manages to stay under it, even with multiple people in the household.
