[Gllug] Calculating 'real' bandwidth

[Dylan]

Hi All,

A friend of mine wants to know what the maximum useful bandwidth of his 8meg 
ADSL line should be. I've explained that it's a theoretical maximum including 
transport overheads, and that the 8meg figure is decimal. But I can't for the 
life of me work out what that should equate to in the binary kilobits or 
kilobytes speed reported by his network monitoring app, taking in to account 
the overheads.

I'm sure one of you will be able to clear it up succinctly!

Cheers
Dylan
