aiight im using dsl and yeh you would know about the monthly allowance thing. my question is does any1 know what kinda usage is taken up by playin runescape and if so is it taken by how long u play for or its a one of login and also is it a huge diffrence between playin low or high quality

 

 

 

thanx in advance :D

bump...

try the tech forum, but more info, such as who's your internet service provider?

 

 

 

As far as I know, runescape uses very low amount of bandwidh, so it should not be a problem. You'd have to worry more about online radios, p2p software, downloading music/video.

Ok click Control Panel

 

 

 

Goto Network Connections x 2

 

 

 

Right Click your Connection then click Status

 

 

 

This tells you what your up and downloads are currently - and is running

 

 

 

So you can keep this on your deskstop.

I have this nifty program that runs on my computer that measures how much bandwidth is used while your connected.

 

Most of the information you download from runesape is from the main page. After you finally log onto a server, it drops down a whole lot. I'm guessing to about 2-3 kb/s.

 

I'm not sure exactly how much it is right now since I'm at work, but I'll check once I get home.

 

 

 

There should be no worry though about going over your limit with just runescape. One of these forum pages is bigger then 20 mins of play time.

I wouldnt assume it takes much up, I mean it's a browser-based game.

All right, I hopped on.

 

In a semi crouded place: fishing guild(30 people) it was about 3 -4kb/sec

 

Telly took it to about 10kb/sec.

 

And it jumped everyonce in a while to 6kb/sec

An excellent tool to monitor these kinds of things is DU Meter. Download it somewhere, Google is your friend :)
