yes, 1 megabit per second (Mbps) is equal to 320 Gigabytes per month

he asked if ten is that number.

hjnet,

Has given the exact figures and most hosting provider round it off to 10mbits or 10Mbps = 3200GB per month.

Apples and oranges.
When using mbit you work with a peek in traffic.

LBBV · 09-26-2005, 05:43 AM

Many hosts would have you believe that 10 Mpbs = 3200 GB, however this is not really correct.

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.

At the end of the day, it depends on if your port is boostable, and i've they've given you a dedicated line, yada yada, rather than capped you to 10mbit.

It still doesn't make any difference. If you have a capped 10 meg port, and you run it full for 30 days, then you will have a graph that is a straight line at 10 megs, and you will do about 3200 GB of transfer. Of course, you'll also have a lot of very angry surfers that couldn't get to your site because the port was maxed out. Again, in reality, bandwidth does not run in a straight line. Your graphs will have peaks and valleys, and if your 95th percentile is exactly 10 Mbps, you will not have done 3200 GB...you will have done between 2000 and 2500 GB.

I run NationalNet and do know a very small amount about bandwidth

thanks for the replies.

anyone know what is the command to check server specs from shell ? (like type of CPU, amount of RAM, what kind of port it is on)

Marshal · 09-26-2005, 07:51 AM

it's better to buy 100mbps port and 3200GB per month if you really need this... 10mbps port is sometimes not enough for the traffic peaks...

i might be wrong, but that's my experience...

it might help to know what os its running, but dmesg is pretty standard..

Snake Doctor · 09-26-2005, 08:39 AM

Bill is correct.

If you're wondering how many gigs you could do if you bought a 10mbit line a good estimate would be 70% of that or 2240 gigs.

If you have to use more than that then you'll need to buy a bigger line so that your site will still load fast at peak traffic times.

Usually when a host gives you a price on a 10mbit line it's a capped line and they know you won't be able to use it all, but it makes it look better for them to say they're selling you 3200 gigs, when they really know you'll only be able to use about 2240.
