MMO Broadband Data Usage

Morbert · 2012-04-23 17:03:25

Hi, Is there an information source/website that could tell me how data-intensive MO + MMO games like WoW, Diablo III, Minecraft are? Even a ball-park figure would be handy. I'm not having much luck with google. I am wondering if it is feasible to play games online with a limited data-usage policy. Thanks

Updates and patches will eat more data than regular gaming... A very rough estimate of the data usage per hour from what I remember from playing games online would be 60mb/hour (though I probably am completely wrong), VOIP will use a bit more on top of that
