RE: Hosting - Data Transmission Conversion Base2 vs. Base10

Okay let me preface this by saying I am happy with my host ...the uptime and speeds are great and I suck at math so if my explanation doesn't jibe with you mathmeticians sorry for my ignorance

Anyway I was a bit taken aback by this today.

According to webalizer I've burned 810019905 kilobytes in the last 7 weeks, which I converted to about 772 gigs.

My host tells me I'm wrong because I am converting that using base2 instead of base10 and that I have actually burned 810 gigs.

Anyway is this standard among hosts? I have not experienced this before.

I am happy paying the rate that I pay for my hosting and the support is excellent...however it seems like I will be losing approximately 60-70 gigs for every 1,000 gigs I burn...and that can add up over time.

Am I wrong to be surprised at this?
