if I stream internet radio at 128kbps, how much download quota am I using over an hour of that?
anyone hear smart enough to tell me? I was too dumb/lazy to figure it out myself. also cos the answer I got was scary so I didn't wanna keep doin it until I'd worked it out properly

to correct my grammar too? I blame sleep deprevation, cos it's certainly not a lack of education
128kbps = 128x10^3bps = 1238000bps
You do the rest.

simple maths actually, (armed with a calculator) 128*60*60=460800 kB an hour.
460800/1024=450 Mb
450 Mb= approx 0.44 Gb

128000bps!

You would have downloaded approximately 10 MB after an hour.
Hmm, I thought this would be easy to figure out, and it's not...
illicit makes a damn good signature.

yeah that's the answer I got too :s
I'm still listenin to the radio stream. maybe I should throw a cd or traditional radio on so my housemates don't kill me when I use up all our monthly quota?

and that can be proved here

That's bits though, rather than bytes.
8 bits in a byte.
So 0.055 Gb, (I think), or 56.3mb

well, (i dont know about 'jungle' internet providers... but find an unlimited usage provider... (AOL in UK have no limits...)

I like ur answer. you have evidence to back it up or u were just being a smartarse? I wanna know how you know that if it's true.
see I'm unsure if 1kilobit = 1kilobyte. in terms of, the stream is 128 kilobits per second, does that mean 128 kilobytes are being download per second? in hardcore binary, isn't a byte 8 bits or something? see I don't even know enough about this shit to know if I got that right.

128kb/s = 16 kilobytes.
YoungAndWise is right.

er, no.
just times answer by 3600 (60^2) from going second -> hour then divide by 1000^2, from going kb to gb. thats like 0.45 gb/hr as someone else said.

WRONG, check the wikipedia...,
128kB (speed per minute)* 60 (seconds in a hour)* 60 (minutes in hour)= total downloaded
= 460800 kB per hour
460800/ 1024 (1 Mb= 1024 bB)= 450
450/1024 (1024 Mb per 1 Gb)= 0.43945312

The majority of people in this thread seem to believe that 128kbps means that it is downloading 128 kilobytes per second.
That is not the case.
128kbps, in this case, means 128 bits per second, rather than bytes.
There are 8 bits in a byte, and thus 128 bits is 16 bytes, and therefore 128kbps is roughly 16 kilobytes per second.
There are 3600 seconds in an hour:
16 * 3600 = 57600
Converting that into gigabytes:
57600/1024^2 = 0.055 (2sf)

wait, so if its 128k (ie like a 128 k modem..., it will recieve 128000 bits per second... (as shown here) 128000/8=16000 bytes per sec.
16000*3600=57600000 bytes in an hour
57600000/1024=56250 kB
56250/1024=54.931 Mb
54.931/1024=0.05
now im really confused...
some clever mod come along and tell me if im right...

460,800 kiloBITS per hour.
460800/1024 (1MB= 1024 kB)= 450 megaBITS per hour
450/1024 = 0.439 gigaBITS per hour.
Nowhere in there did you convert from bits to bytes, so you have .44 gigabits rather than gigabytes, which is what his quota will be measured in.
Oh, and your wikipedia article? DID YOU EVEN FUCKING READ IT? You must be some major retard, because it clearly states (just above "See Also")
"Kilobyte (abbreviated to kB with an upper case b) is not to be confused with the term kilobit (abbreviated to kb with a lower case b)."
Then go have a look at Wikipedia: Bit. The first line says "the number 10010111 is 8 bits long, or in most cases, one modern PC byte"
Don't be a fucking retard, you're only confusing yourself more.
8 BITS TO A BYTE. Now shut the fuck up.
Yep
