Assume 384Kbps which is 0.046875MB per second (correction 0.375 MB per second)
60 seconds = 2.8125MB
1 hour = 168.75MB
5 hours = 843.75MB
100 Hours (20 days) = 16875MB or 16.48GB

Far nowhere at 184GB usage. Again, assume 512Kbps setting: 21.97GB usage.
Interesting - here my calculation

I did KB all the way. I am 512kb user upload and download for videophone. At finalized answer, then I use link to convert a true number from KB to GB. Here my work below...

512 kb x 60 seconds = 30,720 kb per minute (30 MB per minute)

30,720 kb x 60 minutes = 1,843,200 kb per hour (1843.2 MB or 1.843 GB)

1,843,200 kb x 5 hours = 9,216,000 kb per day (9.216 GB)

9,216,000 KB x 20 days = 184,320,000 kb (one month of business days)


Using convertion from this link Byte Converter

184320000 kb = 175.78125 GB as my final answer...

Does that answer your question how I concluded my answer?

This is just an example of 100 hours of videophone a month at 512k. Now you are left with less than 71.22 GB to use for other things.

Now a question... if people use Roku Netflix, will they hit cap too? I dont have calculations for Netflix's roku instant watch streaming video to your TV. Videophone usage and Netflix instant watch will push you over the limit easily.
