Solved

Hello,
I would like to know what "unlimited connection but 8GB data exchange" means. What is unlimited, what is not??
Is using MSN a connection or a data exchange?
Could someone clarify this topic?

Thank you in advance for helping the student (a bit lost! :$ ) that I am.
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.17

    Good evening,
    8GB = 8 gigabytes of data exchange allowed (duration?, at once, each time, in a week??)

    What seems to be unlimited is the connection time.

    Sure, small hard drives are already 8 GB. It was just to inform you; I know that to fill 8 GB with data, you have to transfer it!

    Hi, it definitely means that we don't measure the time you spend on the Internet but the volume you send or download. If we say, for example, "data exchange," then it counts in both directions.

    When you use MSN, you're also exchanging data, even if it’s small (but if you start downloading files, etc., then it will go up).

    A connection is a relationship between 2 entities. Thus, for example, when you go to a website, your PC, entity 1, connects to a server, entity 2, that hosts the website.

    As for data exchange, this means that you can download either software or the data needed to display a website, nearly 8 GB of data, which gives you quite a bit of leeway.

    I hope I have answered your question.

    Hello
    As it says on the pack, you have unlimited connection, but you are limited to 8 gigabytes for downloads. Up to this amount, it's free; if you exceed it, you pay (only for the amount over). Who is your ISP? Most no longer limit downloads!
    MSN is included in your connection, so it's unlimited; if you upload files or anything through it, you count towards the 8 GB.

    Yes, using MSN to chat is not a data exchange!
    But sending photos, music, etc. is.

    Hi
    In general, a song is between 3 and 4 MB, so do the calculation and give me the answer, to see if you didn't make a mistake!! ;-)))
    1 GB = 1024 MB
    1 KB = 1024 bytes
    1 MB = 1024 times 1024, which is 1048576 bytes
    1 GB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024, which is 1073741824 bytes

    So actually, 1 MB is 2 to the power of 10 bytes.

    As long as there is a connection, there is necessarily data exchange, so it's unlimited but still limited.

    If it's just for MSN, there’s no problem.

    ok it's data but we can say it's unlimited because to fill 8GB !!!
    it will take at most 0.1% of the 8GB in 1 month!
