Hi all

Im thinking of chaning my adsl provider and ive noticed alot of them have limits now. Does anyone have any idea how much memory is sent for say, 1 hour of playing bf2?

I can work out my downloads for films etc but not for games, i dont have a clue!

If it makes a difference i play on max settings.

Cheers.

Yeah something like that, I remember when I had a 1 Gig limit I used to reach that pretty fast only playing the BF42 battles here at GC back in time....

42 was between 35 and 40 megs, bf2 eats 50+ megs (with ts, without ingame voip)

ur ingame settings dont change nething traffic wise

sometimes 10gigs r not enough

(especially if i have to bitch much)

talktalk give a 40gig limit, i think that should be fine. I play roughly 14 hours a week i guess, sometimes much less, sometimes a bit more.

Hum, I have a 20 go DL max and a 10 go Upload max, and even if I participate to all the GC battle in one month (Because it's my limit per month) I DON'T even come close to that lol... I can spend the rest downloading a lot of video game demos and BF2 big patches... And there is still enought left...

Bandwidth usage goes up over time. Also the BF2 mods will probably be 1+ gigs each so you'll just have to watch it.

Why change ADSL providers? If its line problems, that wont change as the line/backbone going to your house wont change with providers.

Perhaps his current ISP has reliability issues or maybe they are more expensive than the competition?

yeah they are overpriced. Im paying £30 for an 8mb line when i can go to talk talk and get it for free as long as they take over my phone line too.

my contract is outdated now, over 12 months old.
