Um...  Maybe I'm missing something here. But won't simple multiplication
do this for you? 

    10Gbyte = 10*(1024^3) = 10737418240 bytes

    1 month = 30 days/month * 24 hrs/day * 60 min/hr * 60 sec/min
	    = 2592000 seconds

    10737418240 / 2592000 = 4142.522 byte/sec

So if you want to transfer 10Gbyte in a month your channel better support
at least 4Kbytes/sec.  Since most data comm equipment is rated in
bits/second you need a channel that supports 32Kbits/second. So your
average 56K dialup might just work.
