Mbps to gigabytes?
Does anyone have a exact conversion equation from megabits per second for a month to gigagbytes that month?
Also, is it true that after an accurate conversion, the value we get is more than the actual gigabytes used? Someone told me I'm paying more when paying with Mbps than while paying per gigabyte used. |

1mbit/s = 1024kbit/s = 1024/8=128kB/s 128kB/s(24h*3600s) 10,546875 GB a day This is the theoretic data you could transfer on 1mbit line for one day. The actual data amounth should be smaller to prevent slowdown

Yeah.. As a rule of thumb, 1megabit=300GB/month

1 MBps is 320 GB per month. You can easily figure out what you pay per gig if you are on a mbps plan.
For example, if you pay on average by the mbps, that is equivelant to paying by the gig. So look at this. 5 MBps on average is 5 mbps * 320 Gigs = 1600 Gigs If you pay $100/Mbps, then you pay $500 for 1600 Gigs. $500/1600 =$.31/Gig. If you pay per mbps and you pay on peak, then that is a different story. As an example, I took this info off a server on our network that does galleries: Cur: 6.11 Mbits/sec Avg: 8.04 Mbits/sec Max: 11.34 Mbits/sec This guy, If he paid $100/MBps on peak at 11 MBps it would be $1100. If he paid on average, he would pay 8 Mbps*$100/mbps= $800. If he paid by the gig at $.50/Gig, 320*8.04= 2572*.50=$1286.00 So looking at these numbers, you can use them to figure out what you are paying and what you should do. Also keep in mind, most ISPS bill on mbps peak (95%) or they bill on a per gig basis. Average mbps is just another way of saying by the gig, since it all adds up the same no matter how you look at it. That may be a lot to gather in one read, but this is worth while data you should use to better understand the hosting industry. Jason
