How Big is 1,000 Megabytes?
Inutek service plans include a substantial amount of included usage.
However you may be wondering how far 1,000 Megabytes (MBs) will get you.
We have provided several examples here to help you better understand the
relationship between regular online activities and the amount of usage they incur.
Each of the activities below would generate 1,000 MB of data transfer:
- View over 10,000 web pages
- Send 250,000 text e-mails
- Receive up to 1,000 average digital photos
- Download 250 songs
- Stream 16 hours of music
- Watch 8 hours of streaming video
- Download 1.5 standard definition movies
Here are some types of internet activities and the amount of just that single activity that would result in the usage shown in the 2,500 MB through 20,000 MB columns. Naturally, each user's activity will be a combination of many types of internet activity and not just a single type.
