Determine your daily amount of anticipated data transfer.
Consider the number of interactive visitors, the amount of data each will transfer and the frequency of the transfer.
Multiply that number by 30.5 (the average number of days in a month).

Calculate the number of GBs (GigaBytes) of transfer per month.
Each 1000 MBs is equivalent to 1 GB. From the above example, we have 228,750 MB / 1000 MB/GB = 228.75 GB per month of transfer.

Determine the approximate connection speed required to support the level of transfer.
