understand the different between his bits and bytes, and measurement of time regarding such, you dont associate "daily" with a bit flow in any universe as a first point. ttp://twitter.com/mgcarley Mathew Carley The SxC cable had until recently a design capacity of 1.28Tbit/s, which equates to 1,280Gbit/s which equates to 1,280,000Mbit/s which means 384,000,000 Gigabytes (give or take, after TCP overheads) a month. There are (approximately) a million broadband connections in NZ, but then you've got business/leased and voice traffic on that same cable too, so your effective available bandwidth isn't anywhere near 1.28Tbit/s PLUS it's kind of expensive. Pacific Fibre would probably have a capacity of 3.84, 5.12 or even 8Tbit/s depending on which equipment he puts on either end and how many fibers/wavelengths he wants to run The cable-landing issue could be (partially) solved by landing either in Vancouver (good proximity to Seattle) or Mexico (not so desirable thanks to TelMex, but some dollars from Carlos Slim might be of some help, so he might not have any other choice). lightweight As an ex-pat American, I wouldn't trust the US as far as I could toss it. I'm all for going via Canada. Griz it's all about the length, going around US "waterspace" just isn't worth it... PleaseGoBackToSchool 435Tb/Day Is used according to average (In 2011). This is 2012.
