Also, gigabit != gigabyte. Gigabyte = 1024MB, Gigabit = 125MB
As I mentioned, 8 bits in a byte...
1 Gbps x 60 seconds in a minute / 8 = 7.5 GB/minute
Ah, found this. http://web.forret.com/tools/filesize.asp?speed=1&unit=Gbps&dur=60 Now, again, this ASSUMES optimal speeds, which more than not likely will not happen. The road says 7.5 GB/minute, but if a lot of people get on that road, will they slow down and if so what will their speed be? We need to get someone who has this to tell us. But guess what I just found?

1.1 GB/min 'real' speed. The "free" internet speed they cap at the national average of 5 Mbps instead of 1000 (or 1024 if you want to be specific) Mbps, or 37.5 MB/minute according to that website, again, assuming optimal speed.
