Return to: ISTS FAQ Home > Telephone > Dataplan

As a quick guide to the amount of data for the plans above. One GB is approximately 1000 MB and one MB is approximately 1000 KB. The following list gives a few examples of how much data you might download for typical items:

• On average a typical webpage is approximately 25KB-50KB
• Web sites which host videos (eg. YouTube) or many images can use large amounts of data (>1MB)
• Music files such as MP3's are on average 4MB
• Plain text emails are on average 10KB
• Emails with attachments or pictures again can vary.  100KB-500KB is not uncommon.
