Re: Statistics are fun

said by funchords:

Not quite. With a 250 GB monthly limit, Comcast's service has a capacity of about 750 Kbps.
BTW, Comcast's data CAPACITY for residential users is 250 GB, not 750 Kbps. In my example, it's data RATE is 16 mbps.

IF you divide the capacity by the data rate, like you and others do to calculate "capacity", you get "the data rate needed to reach capacity in a month". What you call "capacity" is a meaningless number to end users. Do you also calculate the "capacity" of your car by dividing your monthly mileage by the speed limit?

2000 miles/60mph = 33 mph
...but wait, if you drive further you get a higher "capacity"...
4000 miles/60mph=66mph

Doesn't make much sense does it?

If I only download 120 GB in a month at 15 mbps, is my capacity 375kbps? Obviously not...
