Topic: How much bandwidth usage for games

sluggy started this discussion 15 years ago #13,887

Considering a mobile broadband plan. How much bandwidth would 2 hours a day use up playing a game like Everquest? It was made to run on dial-up.

Any estimate is fine.

I didn't know such things were possible.

I'm told it's like 3MB/hr. haha.

Awesome, thanks! It's actually really affordable. $50/month for 5GBs.

For reference, my phone used under 2GB last month. I use my phone constantly (for Internet, my phone and texts are obviously extremely low) I stream music on my phone a lot, too.

I think I'm going to do this.

@previous (Walter Calton !0VegJ9Jl.Q)
its more expensive, isnt it? ATT's 3G network is a lot faster and I will be on wifi where the 4g is active (for the most part). Am I incorrect?
