How many years would it take to dl a 1YB(Yattabyte) file.
At current speeds.......I know it's very subjective.

you mean yottabyte?

well, one yottabyte is 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes

if you had t3 (44mbps) working at 90% efficiency, it'd take approx:
6806602674677.20 years to download

I really suck at math, so correct if I&#39;m wrong.....

I thought there were 1024 bytes in a kilobyte...? :blink:

it&#39;s 8 bytes to a kilabyte then 1024kb to a megabyte

It&#39;s 8 bits to a byte. 1024 bytes to a kilobyte. Its a power of 2, computers are digital.

Hence bit (binary digit)

i swear i aint lying its cos the wire goes on the pylons i think. in those storms last week sometimes the net just stopped working all together. unless i was hacked or something :unsure: . in that case LEAVE ME ALONE :angry:

@TheDave,

If that&#39;s the case that your ADSL has poor performance in rainy weather then contact your phone company and complain. Do you also hear interference when using the phone? I had a family member that had the same problem about 3 weeks ago. They sent a technician and he replaced a wire at the pole and voila, problem fixed. (No costs involved).

TheDave

i never knew you could complain i thought it was just one of those things

Okay here...

You have:
Bits
Bytes
Kilobytes
Megabytes
Gigabytes
Terabytes
Lamseybytes
etc...

Sounds like a lot of metric prefixes, yet it doesn&#39;t follow the rule of metrics. 1024 is the correct size for computing, therefore a megabyte is almost a "megabyte", not quite a 1000 bytes
