primadog Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 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. All I learned in life, I learned on Tip.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPM Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 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. ~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sage36 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I wouldnt assume it takes much up, I mean it's a browser-based game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPM Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 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 ~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 An excellent tool to monitor these kinds of things is DU Meter.
