Bandwidth calculation

[Peon]

Hi peeps

Is this calculation for a 384/128k line correct? I want to calculate the upload in a day. Working on the assumption the line is perfect and ISP is perfect. In other words, everything is perfect.

384/128 ADSL Line

128 Kbit/s / 8 = 16 KByte/s
16KBps * 60 seconds = 0.960 MBytes/Minute
0.960MBytes * 60 minutes = 57.6 MB/Hour
57.6 MB/Hour * 24 Hours = 1.38GB/Day

1.3GB a day?

Is this calculation correct?

Somebody's been looking at my bandwidth calculation methodology

Thats an ideal situation with everything perfect and no overheads/errors but it's close

 

[Peon]

Linky to your calculation please....

 

[PsyWulf]

Or not heh...don't worry the numbers correlate

Normally to take overheads into account you use roughly 0.83 of the speed to get the actual data throughput speed, so that would give you 1.14 GB/day... still close enough

Also assuming that the other side gives you 100% of their bandwidth and doesn't throttle you...

There is no other "methodology" to calculate this.

I also have a 384 line and I get around 39.5KB/s downstream. Not worried about my upstream speed really but it's sitting at 14KBps usually.
If I download via http, I get 138-140MB per hour, which would translate into 3.25GB per day downstream. I have "tested" this several times last month in which I averaged (including idle) 1.3GB per day (only international).
