Does playing PS3 online use up bandwidth? 10 points?

Question

I'm on ADSL with a download limit of 20GB per month, because I can't get unlimited. So does playing ONLY just games use up my downloading limit? If so, how much? I won't be download demos, videos or nothing like that from the PSN store, only playing online.

10 points best answer

Answer 1

You might use up around 10-100 MB per hour depending on how much data a game needs from the server and how much it sends. Usually games that can be played in dial-up are the least stressful but game that explicitly demands broadband may take megabytes per hour.

Depending on how long you take on playing games you might use up around a GB or a few with a nice collection games.

You can measure a games bandwidth usage by directy connecting your ethernet cable to your PC and using Windows Internet Connection Sharing (right click your connection icon > properties > around the last tabs > tick Windows Internet Connection Sharing) if it works. If it does work start-up Task Manager play a game go to networking tab, and your usgae should appear in the LAN section extrapolate/assess if you want to play for long hours or not.

:D good luck!
