About how many gigs a month is 64kbps?

Thanks!

20.736 Gigs at maximum utilization

The biggest issue is slow downloads (even if just one file) and even slower when muliple people are hitting the site at the same time. That speed just doesn't allow too much to be passed at one time and that can really affect the site if it gets visitors or gets anywhere *near* 20 gigs/mo. The limitations would be apparent shortly.

well this host doesnt limit it to that speed, but this is how they measure and charge...$25 per 64klbps avg per month.

FYI, this is how it is calculated

1 byte = 8 bits

64 divided by 8 (bits to bytes) = 8
* 60 seconds
* 60 minutes
* 24 hours
* 30 days
= total
move decimal 6 places to get Gigs/month

Example:
128Kbps / 8 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 = 41.472 Gigs

Easier Math:
Kbps * 0.3125 = Gigs/m

Easy Chart: (
64Kbps = 20 gigs/m
128 = 40
256 = 80
512 = 160
...

OK, so I needed a break from coding HTML
