I'm part of a small business ISP providing wireless connections to people that have direct line of sight to skytower, we also offer fiber and DSL services. Due to all our customers being business, we have a lot of excess international/domestic bandwidth at night time so we're offering a limited amount of users a special deal...

Naked DSL - $75 + GST
- 20Gb Data
- SIP VoIP line
- $1 per Gb there after

POTS DSL - $55 + GST
- 20Gb Data
- $1 per Gb there after

As we're a business only provider our support hours are only 8-5:30pm with calls going to an oncall tech after hours, we're only interested in people that know what they doing and not doing a mass market thing.

Just before anyone asks, we're not doing any "Bigtime" or unlimited plans, we already offer free on-net (to our network and customers) traffic.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

20Gb?

Do you mean 20GB?

In the context of usage, 20Gb or 20GB would mean the same thing as we're not talking about speed, so 20480 Mega Bytes of data.

20Gb is 20Gigabits, which is approximately 1/8 the size of 20GB (being 20 Gigabytes)

If we were talking about speed then 20Gb is meaningless since speed needs a measurement of time as well as quantity, so a speed might be 20Gb/s (also written as 20Gbps) - 20gigbits per second.

How do you figure that? 20 gigabits is only 2.5 gigabytes!

It doesn't matter whether its speed or usage, bits and bytes are not the same measurement value!

He obviously means 20GB not 20Gb and his response was likely in reference to the common convention in telecommunications to measure speeds in various bits per second prefixes, and throughput in byte prefixes.

Thanks, didn't see the point in replying because someone can't make a judgement on Gb or GB.
