In article <eedf05f0.0201210111.8b66dc8@posting.google.com>, Geometric Engineer <geo_engineer@yahoo.com> writes <snip> > P.S. The small nitpick is that the "bandwidth" is how much >data at a time can go out the pipe or is allowed to go out the >pipe (per second, say, at peak, and per hour on average), and >the "transfer" is the total data out the pipe from some specific >account during some set time such as a month. It's an apparently >common practice to use "bandwidth" as an inaccurate synonym for >"transfer", as in "bandwidth allotment" or even "bandwidth limit", >when it'd be much better to say "transfer allotment" or "transfer >limit per month/whatever". <snip> You don't mean bandwidth. That's measured in Hertz and is fixed by the properties of the wire or fibre, and the electronics at each end. You mean data rate, which can be measured in kilobytes/sec or megabytes/day, whichever is more convenient. John -- John Harris mailto:john@jgharris.demon.co.uk
