How much data in 54 hours?

[NomNom]

Hey all I want to know how much a 384k connection could theoretically download in 54hours?

I am asking because I am thinking of either getting Cybersmart weekender option 3 or 10GB local IS account from webafrica.

You would be able to download roughly 8GB in 54hours on a 384kbps account/line.
384kbps x 3600 seconds/h x 54h x 1kB/8kb ~= 8.9GB - 12% overhead ~= 8GB.

Thanks Pada so I guess it's the Weekender option 3 for me.

From what I've seen it's about 7GB max if you download at full speed for the whole period.

Yeah it it doesn't matter since it's a **** load better than only getting 10GB of local from webafrica, I will get 7GBx4 weekends= 28GB of international cap
