Re: Fine. This is feeling like a stupid post already but whatever.
Assuming a saturated 56k connection for 10 years, you would get: 2.605E+12 bytes. With a saturated 10mbit connection for one day, you'd get 1.3246E+11. In order to achieve tens years worth of 56k downloads, you'd have to leave your 10mbit connection on for approximately 20 days (assuming my calculations aren't completely incorrect). If you wanted to download 10 years worth of a 56k connection in one day, you'd need approximately a 25mbit/s connection.
note: for some reason I used 56k connection to mean 56*1024 bits/s and 10mbit to mean 10485760 bits/s. Also, I do not take into account any sort of overhead. And yes, these simple calculations amuse me. |
