Recommended monthly Internet allowance?

Agh! Cash.monay's saying it takes 80+ gb to play 2 hrs a day per month and melons saying it takes 100 mb a month- which 1s more accurate? I need to know thanx

[Singularity]

It takes a few MB per day tops. One evening of (porn) surfing will net you more traffic than this game will in a month.

Tyvm, that really helps... I guess I could get 40gb after all.

[genocidal]

Well you're still going to need to allocate porn surfing usage.

[saetep]

You need to be able to do both at the same time... What else is there to do while you're waiting for a game. But if you're willing to sacrifice then go ahead and go for 40gb.

PriitK posts about the bandwidth, however it is relating to the general population as a whole for the server bandwidth usage.

Ok so if it takes 2556 gb for the server for 500 people 24 hrs a day for 1 month, then 2556 divided by 500 is just over 5gb per each person. Right?

it would actually be less, but if each person were to use the same bandwidth then yes.. but there are other factors that tie in to bandwidth being used..

Keep in mind that the # of packets grows exponentially with the # of players.

For every packet you send to the server, it has to resend that packet (in general) to every other person in your arena
