No, he's right. 60$/mbit *is* cost per rate, because bandwidth is usually billed based on 95th percentile. In other words, if you sell 23 concurrent channels, it is reasonable to expect that at least 5% of time, 20+ channels will be in use, and thus you would be obligated to pay for roughly 1Mbit of IP transit capacity.
I'm afraid you both are wrong. A megabit is 1,000,000 bits or approximately 125,000 bytes--data volume. He *meant* to say "megabit per second", a rate measurement. Telco sales droids may call a T1 a "1.554 megabit" connection, it is a "1.554 megabit-per-second" connection.
You going to have to do better than that if you want to do mailing list criticism.
I suggest you do some reading on Wikipedia. Chris _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
