Re: Wait a minute
said by Matt  :said by Yauch :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. | |
