As the title says, i have never looked into it, is it more upload than DL that is used? I ask as i have 300meg left till im capped and wondered how long it will last lol.
p.s. with my plan upload data isnt counted toward my usage so i hope more upload is used than DL!

Depends, what else are you doing Wink

You can look up some stats via Google or get your own stats from ISP.

I'd use less than 100-200mb a day if it was just pure gaming.

I remember having a LAN at me misses house with 4-5 others and we used between 300mb-1.2gb a day. Playing Games, Surfing and Very Small patch downloads.

I hope this helps ^_^

Regards,

i use about 100mb download if i were to play all day. dunno about upload though so yeh.

that 300mb would probably last me about a week or so if it was just a few hours each night

whoa !!! 30gb in about 8 days !!! They must be movie downloads !!! ADSL 10+ ?
Geez you must be on some super-duper unlimited cap plan, either that or you own your own ISP !!! Smile
I think I use about 100mb per session on crysis too

I am a night owl so I mostly go online at home after work. Pauline always bitches how I am never there for her, perhaps, just maybe I am trying to avoid her, or perhaps after working, coming home to cook, clean... blah, blah and how does it go again ?

as far as bandwith goes, i can play crysis when capped at 6.4kb/s without any problems, but when i run any other program (like ts) my ping jumps above 2500 so crysis probably uses just under 6kb/s total upload+download

meh play 30 mins of crysis and monitor your net usage from the minute you fire up crysis and its connected to the net, to the time you disconnect from the Crytek servers. make sure nothing else is running, and see how much it is

my guess is itll be a very small amount, but with crysis a few hours can pass quickly

also may change a teeny bit based on what server and how many are playing on it, i thunk.

Yeah gaming does not use very much at all.
I can use more just surfing the web in the same time frame.
Cossie, you'll be right mate... just suck it up

Crysis uses <10kb/s down and <5kb/s up. So around 30MB/hour.

hence the reason on a home 1.5MB adsl connection. a home server can manage about 6-10 players

it's really the upstream that kills it though
