    10 Mbps = x GB?

    Would 10 Mbps be around 2000 GB?

      In what time frame? 10 Megabits per second is 1.25 Megabytes per second. So you get:

      75MB per minute
      4,500MB per hour
      about 108 GB in day

          10 mbps is around ~3300 gb usage in a month

            108 x 30 = 3,240GB


            That is a math model. I have no idea if you can achieve it in the real world.

                Ok so what would one expect in the real world?

                    1 Byte = 8 Bit
                    10 mbps = 10 Million Bit per Second
                    10 mbps = 1,25 Million Byte per Second
                    1 month = 2592000 Seconds
                    10 mbps = 3240000 Million Bytes per Month
                    10 mbps = 3240 Billion Bytes per Month
                    10 mbps = 3240 GB per Month


                    But since Traffic fluctuates through the day you can't always pull the max out of your Server, so during primetime you'll need the full 10mbps, and during slow hours maybe only 6 mbps. So for an average websites I'd say 10mbps ~2000-2500 GB Data Transfer

                      As long as bandwidth is your bottleneck (not cpu, ram, etc) and you operate at full capacity 24 hours a day you should get very close. If this is for websites that appeal primarily to people in the United States you are more likely to not use a lot of that bandwidth at night though.... and un-used bandwidth does not rollover.

                        No one operates at full capacity 24 hours a day, if you do, your website doesn't matter much as it will be unusable during peak hours.

                        Based on over a hundred gbps of aggregated adult traffic, you will see roughly 200GB per Mbit of "real world" usage. Depending on your traffic, this can go up or down - but usually it will stay within the 170GB - 220GB range.

                        So, 2000GB is a good rough estimate real-world, if your traffic patterns are "average" for the industry.

                        Hope the info helps!

                            A useful bandwidth calculator...

                            so, 3.24TB/month

                                I have 30mbps and used 7,000+ Gigs of bandwidth last month. Averaging 21.6mbps

                                so the numbers suggested by others sound about right for 10mbps

                                  This is exactly near the range I was going to offer as well. "real word" usage will vary between that range by each specific website(s) hosted on the machine as traffic patterns for every website are different.
                                  I have seen as low as 150GB per 1Mbps even.

                                    So I guess the next question would be: Would I be better off going with a host that calculates bandwidth in GB and not Mbps?

                                      I could be wrong but you usually can't have that unless you are on a shared server.

                                          per GB is usually more expensive on higher commits not many companies do 10,00gb servers.

                                              1 month = 2592000 Seconds
                                              10 mbps = 3240000 Million Bytes per Month
                                              10 mbps = 3240 Billion Bytes per Month
                                              10 mbps = 3240 GB per Month


                                              But since Traffic fluctuates through the day you can't always pull the max out of your Server, so during primetime you'll need the full 10mbps, and during slow hours maybe only 6 mbps. So for an average websites I'd say 10mbps ~2000-2500 GB Data Transfer
                                              That's about right, I'd estimate a little lower.
                                              It depends on a) is that 10Mbps CAPPED or 95th percentile, b) how even your traffic
                                              is - is your busy period twice as busy as your slow time, or three times as busy, and
                                              c) if the bandwidth is capped, how tolerant are you of your server getting slow when
                                              it's busy? If you're capped at 10Mbps, that means you can never go over that. You'll
                                              have busy times and slow times, so you'll want to average about 3Mbps to peak at 10Mbps.
                                              If you average 6Mbps and are capped at 10Mbps, that connection will be overloaded
                                              during your busy time and your site will be slow. Normally, you don't want capped
                                              bandwidth. You want bandwidth billed on 95th percentile - you can use as much as
                                              you want, and you are billed based on "95% of the time you were using less than
                                              XXX Mbps".

                                                10 mbps = 3240 GB per Month is the maximum, around 2200 is the average since you won't use up the full amount cause no one is going to run at exactly the max for one month.

                                                  Ok. One of my servers is going 1000 gb per 10 mbps right now. Im trying to figure out why.

                                                      Just your traffic patterns is all. You are getting a lot of on and off traffic. Which means you should have move room to expand hits without increasing BW as long as you fill the gaps.

                                                        On and off traffic as in 1000 hits at 6pm and 10 at 9pm? Or on and off like they are only on the site for a few seconds then leave?

                                                        Thanks for the help guys. By the thread views it looks like I might not be the only one that wants to understand this a little better

                                                          While we're talking about it...I've always wondered this...

                                                          If you buy an unmetered 300 mbps line...can a single server even keep up with that demand? I always figured the average server, even if pimped out, couldn't. If that's the case, why do they even "sell" it? Or are you really just buying the increased memory, etc. and they promote such a big pipe to make it look like a better deal?

                                                          Or how about this...

                                                          Say I get a server with 2.33 Ghz Core2Quad, 4 GB memory, 2x500 GB SATA2, 100 MBPS unmetered on 1000 MPBS / GigE Port ... and I am running a "legal tube" (meaning sponsor clips of 2-5 minutes) ... how many concurrent surfers that are actively watching videos could I have at a time without the server crapping out?

                                                          Oh, and if it means anything, the vids would be hosted on the server, not by the sponsor.

                                                          I am asking for rough numbers ... I know it's not an exact science ... like if you're running a typical tube site, how many concurrent surfers could be on there at most times before you'd throw up a second box?

                                                          OneClick guys...?

                                                          I've been wondering for quite awhile...because everybody talks about what a bandwidth hog huge tubes are...
