I think you are confusing Kb with KB.. Kilobit (abbreviated to kb with a lower case b) is sometimes confused with the term kilobyte (abbreviated to kB or KB with an upper case B).

1 KB = 8Kb.. Your numbers is 8 times higher than it should be.

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.
