sorry if this is in the wrong place......


i got a call from my internet provider saying my bandwidth is nearing its limit for this month....i only have 5gbs left and if i go over i get charges.....so my question is....can i still play Fs9 online?...or will that push my bandwidth over the 30gb a month limit?

If you are processing data through your ISP...... you are headed for your "extra charges".  Online play requires data transfer.

You do the math.   ;)

best,

ok...so that is a yes....i should not play fs online until next month when my bandwidth is replenished?


Blimey.... :o...!

To reach your 30 Gb limit you must be constantly downloading massive Film and Music files every day... :o...!

My ISP has a 30 Gb limit on me, but I nowhere reach that limit, with general Internet Browsing, on-line Sim Flying, and downloading the occasional Flight Sim file!

I don't think I have ever come across anyone reaching the 30 Gb limit before... ;D...!

Paul... 8-)...!

I don't think there is a way to personally log your Internet usage to estimate how much you are using/have used.
Only your Service Provider has those details...and he will let you know if he is getting annoyed...trust me!...;)..!
They will cut you off, after a warning, if you continually exceed the limit...!
