SacredFlam3s Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 How much bandwith/hr does runescape use? thanks,SacredFlam3s DK's Drops: 7 Berserker Rings, 2 Warrior Ring, 1 Archers Ring, 7 Dragon Hatchet, 1 Seercull, 3 Elite Clue - All SoloGWD Drops (CS): 1 Bandos Chestplate, 2 Armadyl Hilt, 1 Armadyl ChestplateSlayer:1 D skirt, 2 Whip, 12 G Mauls, 2 Dragon Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 My apologies for not having exact numbers, but it really does not use a lot. If you want to pinpoint things that use a lot of bandwidth, streaming uses quite a bit. eg. Youtube, with Livestream being the worst, especially for long periods of time. If you download movies from Netflix or if you download games from Steam that uses quite a bit of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have a bandwidth monitor. When I play, I usually get about a megabyte an hour. It really doesn't take anything up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 ok thanks, its just that when im on holidays i have 2gb/month and don't really wanna go over Don't worry about that. I'm on a 10gb limit, and I could play runescape non stop (literally) and not go over, or even come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbrideau Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Limits this low still exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Limits this low still exist? ISPs are starting to become more stingy when it comes to caps nowadays. Especially in Canada or if you live in rural areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Well, I do know that they're starting to tighten them up in Canada that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeky16 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Gotta disagree with the Canada comments. Speeds are increasing and data limits are also increasing. My best guess is he is using his mobile phone. I often run my laptop in my truck or other places tethered with my iphone. I don't know of any service provider that is limiting this to 2gb. Unless he has DSL and as an alternate when he is away from home you can use dial up from anywhere. This was the case a few years back but we have since moved to cable.

Sbrideau Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Canada comments are true, although I'm probably in the only province where we can have internet without a cap. Bell-Aliant I have 25 Mb/s with them without a limit. I used to have Rogers at 10Mb/s with a 95GB cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I know Bell has been capping their DSL bandwidth in Ontario for a while now. Fortunately for me, they're still honoring the existing unlimited plans. :D ...but that doesn't stop them from trying to get me to switch to a capped plan every time I call them about something. <_< Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

jasignhagj Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I get unlimited 8mbps at home, and unlimited mobile data. Luckily I have a nice local provider I get mine from. Bell, Rogers and Shaw all have caps now though, and are trying to get the CTRC to force capped plans on the local providers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Mod Edit: removed quote of a spam post. 1mb/h is nothing. That's less than 1 mp3 song file. You can't just throw out random accusations of botting - the same amount of bandwith would be consumed during normal play as opposed botting, just about. OP just avoid media streaming sites and downloading stuff. That 2 gb will quickly add up with so many users.

jasignhagj Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Make sure you have adblock plus, as a handful of flash or video ads will destroy your cap. Noscript might be even better, but I've never used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I suggest using this: http://download.cnet.com/BitMeter-2/3000-2381_4-10398686.html It's what I use on my windows setup. Gives a nice daily usage of downloading/uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmaster Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 If you open the console ingame (press `) and type "displayfps", the ingame FPS display will give you a live readout of how much data is going in and out of the game. Although it doesn't give you a cumulative total it can give you a current readout of how much data is going in and out at any given time.
