10 Mbps only equals 3200 GB IF you push a full 10 Mbps for 30 days. In other words, if your graph was a straight line at 10 Mbps for 30 days, you would use roughly 3200 GB of transfer. In reality though, it doesn't work that way. Your bandwidth goes up and down each day based on where the majority of your traffic comes from.

A more realistic number is 1 Mbps = approx 250 GB.

The bottom line is it's very difficult to translate Mbps into GB. It's like trying to add gallons and nickels...it's two different things.
