Im just a dude watching over my parents,
and trying to make cartoons and video games from home.

Why 10 Gigabytes (GBs) Of Internet Usage Is Not 10 Gigabytes!

Important!

Dear visitors,

This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.

We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.

At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.

Thank you for understanding.

10 gigabytes in binary is equal to about 10240 megabytes. For marketing and simplicity it is much easier to use a sold number of 10000 than the more complicated binary units.

10 gigabytes is not the total amount you can download in a month. If you were to try and download 10 gigabytes of data in one month your total Internet usage would actually be about 11 gigabytes.

Hi there, I spend a lot of time making this blog.

It would be great if you would consider donating.


In order to download, your computer must send requests and confirm data commands, this is sometimes refereed to as talk back. About 1-10% of your Internet usage is talk back, this means that your total download-able usage is about 9 gigabytes per month and 1 gigabyte of data was used to do so.

For this reason the total amount of data you can use is only 9 gigabytes per month and not 10 gigabytes.

*Note: Actual data usage will vary depending on your Internet activities.
