Ziggybyte

What is Ziggybyte?


1.

The incorrect definition given to a Gigabyte, namely that 1GB = 1000MB (instead of the actual value of 1024MB). Origin: Australia (term coined by Mr Sam).

Your plan includes 6ZB (ziggybytes) worth of downloads.

2.

1,000 MB.

The name given to an incorrect measurement of the GigaByte.

Named after Ziggy Switkowski, CEO of Telstra (at the time), which held a large Telecommunications monopoly in Australia.

The Ziggybyte for some was the last straw for (then) inadequate broadband pricing.

I can't afford more than the 3 ziggybyte plan.
