Bandwidth calulator to measure access speed required for...

[EllaMonroe]

Hi,
If I were to tell you I need to transfer 75GB on data in 6 hours what would be the bandwidth I require from site to site. (dedicated access)

Math is not my strong point and I am searching for basic rules to cheat from / type calculator that does just that or a cheat sheet to "Guestimate" the access speed I need from site.

Your help would be excellent and apreciated thank you

75 GB =
78,643,200 KB or
76800 MB

If you had a T-1 (which costs about 500 a month minimum) it could take you almost 5 days to DL the 75 GB file

To DL it in under 6 hours you would need a T3/DS3 which is rated at 44.7 mbps

even if you had the access to those speeds, there's a good chance you still wouldn't quite meet your goal time table, as the network you're connecting to also plays a part in download speed.
