Unless I can't do the math (which I probably can't), isn't that like 30 minutes of using your connection a month?
102400 MB * 8 = 819,200Mb
819,200Mb / 60 = 13,653 seconds
13,653 seconds / 60 = 227 mins or so at max speed
227 mins / 60 = 3.8 hours

Actually your answer is still wrong. 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19376967 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:13:35 EDT Re: Wait a minute http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19372154 anon : No, because MSTAR's IPTV service does not count against your cap.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19372154 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 18:16:47 EDT Re: Wait a minute http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19371707 Matt :

Actually, 13,653 / 60 = 227 minutes, or 3 hrs 47 m. Still, not a lot for a full month.
Ha, good catch. How in the hell did I screw that up? I even used a calculator ...

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. :/]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19371323 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:01:26 EDT Re: Wait a minute http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19370284 macrospect : Ok, that is the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard.
