You just said you will never push 100 Mb/s on a 100 Mb/s line. That is untrue. You would push 100 Mb/s if you include the TCP overhead. you won't push 100 MB/s which is what you seemed to be explaining. Let me explain.
You have 24 hours per day and 30 days on average per month, for a total of 720 hours per month. At 12.5 MB/s you will get
(12.5 (megabytes per second)) * 1 hours = 43.9453125 gigabytes
Acording to google.
Now, multiply that * 720 or just type this into google
12.5 megabytes per second * 720 hours = ? gigabytes
and you will get the following:
(12.5 (megabytes per second)) * 720 hours = 31 640.625 gigabytes
You will get the same by substituting 12.5 megabytes with 100 megabits per second.
(100 (megabits per second)) * 720 hours = 31 640.625 gigabytes
To reach 4.5 Gigabytes would only take about 360 seconds. See below:
(100 (megabits per second)) * 360 seconds = 4.39453125 gigabytes
Hope this helps a little bit.
