After tera- comes peta- (10^15) and then exa (10^18). Assume your aDSL connection gives 1 Mbit/sec download, 1 MB = 9 Mbits including parity bits, 1 petabyte = 10^9 MB, thus 9 x 10^9 seconds = 150 x 10^6 minutes = 2.5 x 10^6 hours = about 100 x 10^3 days > 2500 years. Don't even think about what Telecom will bill for the over-quota traffic. =====Andrew
