How much could you download if you hammered your connection non-stop all day every day? We've done a few calculations to find out -- the numbers below have been calculated on 85% of the full connection speed (to take into account overheads, disconnections etc., and of course to not make anyone too optimistic).
For those unsure of the terminology, a connection speed is rated in Kbps (Kilobits per second) -- the small b is very important as it denotes a bit, not a byte. Dividing the Kbps speed by 8 will give you the KB/s (KiloBytes per second) you can expect -- be careful to not mix up the b and the B, small b is always for bits and big B is for Bytes. More info.
