| Wait a minute Unless I can't do the math (which I probably can't), isn't that like 30 minutes of using your connection a month? |

Doylestown, PA | Ok, that is the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard. If the caps are indeed 100GB/mo on the 50mbit deal then you would have to be outright out of your mind to purchase this connection! |

| For $40/m you'd have to be out of your mind to sign up for a 50/50 connect with 'soft' limits?
Until they start pulling a Comcast and blindsiding folks with magical limits I'd sign up for 50/50 in a heart beat.
Sounds like they're going about things the right way. A shame really, I thought I was going to catch up to the in-laws 15/15 with my 20/20 fios upgrade...Guess not. :/ |

Actually, 13,653 / 60 = 227 minutes, or 3 hrs 47 m. Still, not a lot for a full month. |

I'm paying $65 a month for Fios 20/20 so IF if I got 50/50 for less I would take it because I don't use 100 gigs a month most of the time. |

No, because MSTAR's IPTV service does not count against your cap. |

Nobody noticed your second line which doesn't make any sense at all.
819,200Mb / 60 = 13,653 seconds
Now Mb divided by a unit less number would still be Mb. I don't know how it was magically converted to seconds. Maybe you can explain that. However, if you want to correctly calculate how long one would be able to use a 50Mbps connection you would divide 819,200Mb by 50Mb/s. Megabits would cancel and your answer would be in seconds.
100GB * 1024MB/GB = 102,400MB
102,400MB * 8bits/byte = 819,200Mbits
819,200Mbits / 50Mbits/s = 16,384 seconds
16,384s / (60seconds/minute) = 273.067 minutes
273.067min / (60minutes/hour) = 4.551 hours
It's funny how everyone was laughing at the Verizon rep who didn't know the difference between .01 cents and $.01, but yet we have people here making mistakes with units too. |
