Calculate how much data can theoretically pass through your internet port (Port Speed) per month, or determine the Mbps needed for your traffic quota.

In hosting, line speed is measured in "Bits" (Mbps), while storage and transfer quotas are in "Bytes" (TB/GB). Since 1 Byte = 8 Bits, a 100 Mbps line can download 12.5 MB of data per second.
If you use a 100 Mbps line at 100% capacity 24/7, you can transfer approximately **32.4 TB** per month. However, in the real world, lines are not always full, so **16.2 TB** (50% load) is a more realistic estimate.
"Unlimited" traffic actually means "Port Limit". If you have a 1 Gbps unmetered server, you can physically push max ~324 TB/month. Physics dictates there is always an upper limit.
