My problem is as followed, this moths bill for internet came in, and in the country im at ( in Europe ) they have this retarded thing that u have a specific amount of GB u can dl a moth, I was surprised and found it ridiculous at first, but well what can you do
Thing is that this bill came in with an extra for 15GB! That has almost led my pops to kill me, well there are only 2 constant things I use on internet, GW, and normal webs like these and sporadic usage of MSN,
The GB cap I have at the moment is 5GB a month, I believe it’s my mom who watches TV channels from other countries via internet at high Res. who is taking most of it

My question for you is, how much does GW dl per months? And lets say compared to a messenger program or a heavy website, is GW’s dl stream that big to produce a 2-4GB dl a month?

i dont know the figures but remember that every move by you and everybody else and every monster move and spell effect has to be downloaded to you to show the effect.
that includes moving water clouds and anything else changing position that is reported back to you as feedback

TV via Internet? If that is true, then I must say that my opinion would be the vast majority of bandwidth used (download in a month) would be there. Full motion video takes a lot more bandwidth then simple position updates. Even a FPS like Counter Strike doesn't eat a large amount of bandwidth.

Think of this to. A retail DVD is a DVD 9 (Dual Layer) and can hold around 9ish GBs of data. And that is for one 2 hour movie with bonus features. One month... a long time ago, I toped out at 39GB in on month. Course I was doing more downloading of, (big)stuff, than playing of games.
