1TB a month? that's > 3mbit of sustained traffic.

Can you show me how to work that math? I worked it out using guesses in place of knowledge, and came up with > 3kbit, and am wondering what I did wrong. Here's what I tried...

1 TB = 8 Tb, or 8x10^9 Tb

8x10^9 divided by 30.5 (avg.) days/month =~ 2.6x10^8

2.6x10^8 divided by 24 (hours/day) =~ 1.1x10^7

1.1x10^7 divided by 3600 (seconds/hour) =~3.1x10^3, or without benefit of rounding in the intermediate steps, 3035 bits/second.

Since I am not at all confident of my assumed relationship of TB and Tb, and not even sure of what is meant by "sustained traffic", no doubt I have made some grievously invalid assumptions.

Will someone who is as much of a math nerd as I am show me the error(s) of my ways?
