How much data is being used whilst listening to an online radio station?

December 31, 2009 - 7:37 pm 2 Comments

I would like to know how much data is being used against my monthly data download allowance if i listen to an online radio station (eg. radio1).

many thanks

every hour of radio listenning gives about 21 MB. so if you listen to radio about 3 hours a day thats 63. in a month you will hav used 1764MB which is 1.764GB per month

    Radio 1 currently streams at 48kbps (kilobits per second). This equates to about 351 kilobytes per minute, or about 20.6 Megabytes per hour.
