    Hey all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I get a real kick out of playing multiplayer games on my PS3 but I'm worried it's usign up my bandwidth allowance and I'll receive a whopping bill next month. Does this kind of use count against my limit? Eircom user.

    Yes it does count, but I don't think you could come close to even the lowest (10gig) limit with gaming alone. Also, eircom don't charge anyway.

    Yeah as stated above you are not going to take much out of you cap from gaming. Game away with a restfull mind now , while you are headshotting to your hearts content.

    last time i checked playing something like counterstrike for 5 hours would probably be a total of 15 - 20mb.
    so if you used your full limit in the month of say eircom's basic package of 10gb you would need to game for about 2,500 hours a month.

    lucky for you there's only 728 hours a month :)
