Now the speed on dial-up is connected at 50,666 bps,
You have an average, run of the mill, 56k modem. Any additional digits are
not significant for your purposes.
So if I ran a download at the 1500 kilobits per second constantly, (I
understand that that is top speed and may not be achievable all the
time.), how many hours until 10GB max used up?
You will *not* use up the 10GB limit. Trust me. First of all, just because
you are conneced, it doesn't mean you are actually downloading stuff. You
would neeed to download 158 copies of OOo to reach the 10GB limit. But to
answer your question, it would take 15h 32min of straight downloading, at the
maximum rate, before you used up your 10 GB limit. It's not going to happen.
Any comments please.
You are worrying about something you shouldn't worry about. If you had any
chance of comming close to a 10 GB bandwidth you would already know it and
wouldn't need to ask here.
Cheers,

Technically you could easily exceed a 10 GB limit. The ISOs for 4 Linux
distros could eat it all up. I have downloaded that much durring at
least 1 or 2 months. It depends on just how much you might download in
the way of software. Visiting web pages and using email, you would
never approach it, nor downloading MP3s, but if you like to experiment
with new free software, you just might.
