Let's say it can for kicks. So, there are 1024 MB in each GB, and 1024 KB in each MB, or 1,048,576 KB in a GB. So Buring 210KB a second you use 12,600 KB/min and 756,000 KB an hour, or about 6.9 hours total to burn 5GB - or looking at it the other way, you're allowed about 14 minutes a day "full out" data usage at that speed to stay under the cap.

Send him your touch

I'm lucky to get 60-100KB/sec on my mogul with Rev A, so I could go at least 2-3 times as long. If it was plugged in, and sitting on top of a block of dry ice to keep it from melting...
210 KB/s is only 1.68 mbit. Ive seen over 250 KB/s. I belive RevA is theoretically capable of 3-4mbit?
