384Kb/s x 60 sec x 60 min x 24 hours x 30 days = (995328000Kb/month)/1024 =
(972000Mb/month)/1024 = 949Gb/month

Are you sure it's not 384Kbit/s? - Bits per second is the usual unit of
measurement for burstable bandwidth and requires another division by 8 (8
bits in a byte), so :

949/8 = 119GB/month
