Does it use a lot of your monthly gigabytes to listen to radio online?

Question

I know that everything on the internet uses gigabytes, but does it use much extra to listen online?

Answer 1

your PC's processor runs at gigahertz, unless you have a dinosaur, then it will run a slower processor at megahertz.

The faster your processor, the more you can do at a single time (multi-tasking) but, the more you do at once, the slower you will run.

I used to run streaming radio, and instant messenger from yahoo at the same time, while running weatherbug for constant weather updates, and i never had a problem on my old Pentium III.

But then, I wasn't downloading movies either.

Answer 2

Yes , it's all bandwith . Internet radio sends bits which your PC converts into sound

As an example a couple of years back this ground a hospital network I was working on to a snails pace
