The ever-widening Web
By Times Wires
Published March 20, 2007
By the end of last year, the U.S. Internet was handling more than 700-million gigabytes of information per month. How much is that? An average Web page (including graphics) is about 50 kilobytes in size - so you could download about 20,000 Web pages for 1 gigabyte. Or to put it another way, an hour of surfing the Web would be around 10 megabytes (200 pages) - so you could surf nonstop for about 100 hours for 1 gigabyte. *Sources: University of Minnesota Digital Technology Center; getonlinebroadband.com
