I was just curious about how much bandwidth PWI takes. I googled and found it estimated at around 20-30mb for 8-10 hours of play but did not find seem to find any estimation on this site.

If somebody could let me know or point me to a previous thread on this issue I'd appreciate it.


Thanks

    That is a good question. I will look into it for you.

    Please send me a PM next week, and when I'm back in the office, I will try to get some info for you, ok?
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    Will do, it was just an issue from work. I play mainly from work (where I stay on site for the summer) and I was just curious so I didn't go over the cap on the wifi...

    5GB? Ouch.

    Best guesstimate would be 10MB-20MB an hour for ONE PLAYER.

    If both of you are playing, double that and do the math. You wouldn't be able to play continuously.

    Plus you'd have to watch your other downloads like streaming videos, music, flash heavy websites, etc.
