Need help telling how much bandwith this is plz. k thnx. ;)
If I get 324GB data transfer a month, would that be equivalent to a 1mbit line?
I used this formula to figure it out.
324,000,000 bytes = 2,592,000,000 bits
[324,000,000*8 = 2,592,000,000]
2,592,000,000 bits / 30 days = 86,400,000 bits
86,400,000 bits / 24 hours= 3,600,000 bits
3,600,000 bits / 60 minutes= 60,000 bits
60,000 bits / 60 seconds= 1,000 bits
1,000 bits = 1mbit
=================
Is that formula correct?
If so then if I get 600GB of bandwith monthly on a dedicated server and monitor my bandwith, I can conclude that it would be like having a 1.815mbit line on it? Correct? Thats if I use the same amount of bandwith daily.
=================
Do all hosting companies conclude that..
GB=GigaBytes
..and not..
GB=GigaBits?
=================
Thank you for your help on this one guys!!!!

Surely read their TOS. I saw a thread today where someone got screwed cause the host said GigaBITS.

yes, 1 mbps is roughly equal to 320GB (give or take 4GB), but to be safe, you should consider 1mbps to be < 300GB for average bandwith measurement and surelly less if you are going to be billed by 95th percentile.
And GB should be GigaBytes; Gb should be Gigabits.

A GigaByte is larger then a GigaBit.
There are eight [8], Gigabits in a GigaByte.

If it's written GB then they're referring to gigaBYTES. As pointed out above, written Gb is gigaBITS.
I thank my Lord for all His wonderful blessings.
