20MBps (Megabytes)

PAD

How much bandwidth could I consume in a month with 20MBps maxed out at all times. I've used a bunch of bandwidth calculators and worked it out in my head but it just doesn't seem right, so someone please correct my poor soul

netomx

Megabytes? it is MB then.

PAD

@netomx Ignore that

20 mbits is 316 * 20

MrAndroid

Well.

20MB/s = 160Mbps

1000Mbps = 333TB a month.
160/1000 = 0.16
0.16 * 333 = 53.28TB

So roughly 53TB a month.

Here you go

20MB per second.
20MB60 seconds = 1200MB per minute
1200MB60 = 72000MB per hour
72000MB24 = 1728000MB per day
172800030= 51840000MB per month, which is equal to 51840GB per month.

20MB x 60s x 60m x 24h x 30d = 51,840,000MB = 50,625 GB

You can make Google do the computation for you.

Ask of google: 20 megabits per second in terabytes per month

And google shall yield: 20 (megabits per second) = 6.26979788 terabytes per month

I don't really get your problem. When you can transfer 20 MB per second multiply that by 60 to get the amount of MB you can transfer per minute. Multiply that by 60 to get the amount of MB you can transfer per hour. Multiply that by 24 to get the amount of MB you can transfer per day. Multiply that by 30 to get the amount of MB you can transfer per month.
I don't see how anyone can have a problem with these "calculations"

@Damian it's 20 megaBYTE, not megaBIT

Let's assume 672 hours/month (28caldays).

672h * 60 = 40320m * 60 = 2419200s
20mbit/s = 48384000 MBITS.

Using; http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/?input_amount=48384000&input_units=megabits&notation=legacy
we can see that this would allow, monthly 28day usage maximum to be 5.767TB/28days.

20 (MB / sec) = 50.158383 TB / month

20 Mbps = 6.26979788 terabytes / month

As I thought, thanks guys.

@gsrdgrdghd I was checking with you guys because my math was showing 50TB and calcs where showing an entirely different amount, and yes I was specifying MBps not Mbps.

eastonch

Depends what you count as a month. 28Days is what i've generally seen for a Unmetered Line ;']

MrAndroid

My calculation was wrong since I rounded .

yomero

The problem (again), is the classic confussion with Mb and MB, Kb and KB.

Note to people: please people, what the heck is hapenning with you? Lots of experience in this field and still confusing pears and apples... LoL

IMO

Kb = KiB = Kilobits
KB = Kilobytes

Mb = Mib = Megabits
MB = Megabytes

Gb = GiB = Gigabits
GB = Gigabytes

Yep
But lots of people confuse this stuff ¬¬ ffs.

Actually, the answer is 20 MB/sec.

"Bandwidth " is the data rate, not the cumulative amount of data transferred
