Re: [NTISP] Conversion from Bit to byte

Actually, due to the nearly uniform rule that 20% of your bandwidth is
overhead, you can divide the bit rate by 10 to get a byte rate.

1.544 Mebabits per second is 154 Kilobytes per second.

Also, don't count on that amount... it's just the capacity...
Queuing theory holds that you will never maintain 100% use of any service
capacity... Once you get past about 50% of your available capacity, you will
begin to experience delays, beyond 80% these delays become excessive...
beyond 90%... almost impossible.

Hope this helps,
