Bandwidth Question?

[Canuck.]

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.... ...!

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

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... ...!

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...!

some ISP's have a service where u can check your account's data usage. but thats only SOME companies....

i think my record is 42gb in one month thats between me, my sister and my dad though
