Anyone know how to do this?

I'm not really sure of your question, but I believe you are looking for how many 5mbits = how many gbs..

I believe the answer is 5120 gbs..

IIRC, 1 Mbit = 320Gb?

I believe that 1 mbps is = to 320 gigs of bandwidth. So, for approx 5000 gigs, you would be burning up approx 16 mbps.

right, 1mbps = 320gb (for a month). However it's a 1mbps used at full capacity..

If you buy 1mbps and pay on peak, I guess you can push about 60% of 320gb (192gb)

All depends how your ISP is calculating..usually based on 95%
and good providers allow bursting...

Usually they take samples of your traffic every 5 minutes
at the end of the month the order those measurements
in descending order......They cut the top 5% and the first
measurement that is still there is your bandwidth..

This said you can burst average 1.2 hours a day...since that's
within 95%..

Then your traffic is never flat you have low hours and peak hours
meaning that at lower hours less Megabytes get transferred than during peak hours.....

When traffic is flat theoretical you have 350 Gigabytes of traffic.
but when you burst 2 Mbit more than 1.2 hours a day you will get billed for 2Mbits.... So the same amount of throughput can make a huge difference in your bill.

Conclusion...All depends on how you get billed....by transfer or flatrate....

I don't know why I post this....since it's not really an answer to your question hehehehe.....well maybe someone can use it...

Regarding your question.....take 350 Gigabytes as 1Mbps

Damn I'm stoned!

And now I posted that thing twice.....sorry for that

You're a fucking moron.

it's ~324 GB per Mbps.
I guess that's what drugs do to you.

well 350 is close enough isn't it? I like simple numbers

DynaMite

average max gb's that can be pushed through a 1mbit/s pipe :

that means we want to convert Mbit/s into GB(yte)/month

1 Mbit/s = 1024 Kbit/s =>
1 Byte = 8 bit =>
1024 Kbit/s = 128 KB(yte)/s =>
1 (average) year = 365.25 days;
1 year = 12 months;
1 (average) month = 365.25 / 12 days = 30.4375 days;
1 day = 60 * 60 * 24 seconds = 86400 seconds =>
1 (average) month = 30.4375 * 86400 seconds = 2629800 seconds =>
2629800 * 128 KB(yte) = 336614400 KB(yte)/month =>
336614400 KB(yte)/month = 336614400 / 1024 / 1024 GB(yte)/month = 321.0205078125 GB(yte)/month

he...
