pbicp Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 Does anyone know if playing xbox live will affect the download/upload cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 welcome to the forum, pbicp... that question doesnt really make sence.. but yes, if the xbox is on the same connection as your computers.. then yes it will... your capped at a certain mbps or kbps.. when you use that bandwidth availible, it will shrink =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbicp Posted January 5, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 asking something else...cogeco cable had a download/upload cap of 60 gb...if u go over this limit you have to pay extra money...asking if playin xbox will use up some of the cap.

TimPawlak Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 yes, because xbox live uses bandwidth i dont belive xbox uses much though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 Does anyone know if playing xbox live will affect the download/upload cap? if your isp is capping the amount of bandwidth you can use, then anything you do on the inter will affect it xbox live included.

dlewis23 Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 i dont belive xbox uses much though it all depends on how long you play and how many people are in, if you have 16 players in a game you could use 100mb an hour with no problem.

tommie gorman Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 So I would take it that he could play for 600 hours with 16 players if he did nothing else that month? That is a LOT of playing hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 sometimes 1 16 player games uses from about 50 MB to 200 MB per game so do that all night and it adds up. i do about 2 gigs a night just on halo 2 so you kinda get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunted 2 Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 a few hours but i get host alot and that is why it uses so much but if you play and dont get host its not that much. i'll post what i use tonight in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a LOT of playing hours. it all depends on the game, if he was playing rainbow six then it would be 1/2 that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunted 2 Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 this was last night - DL: 830.33 MB UL: 1.10 GB TOTAL: 1.91 GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 Do you have a program that will tell you how much bandwidth your xbox is using? the network magic will do it if your router supports UPNP and if it doesnt you have to use windows ICS and have your computer track it ras stats and graph is 1 and network magic with the speedmeter pro add on is the other and i have both on my ftp www.eebobb.com/files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted January 6, 2007 CID Share Posted January 6, 2007 this was last night - DL: 830.33 MB UL: 1.10 GB TOTAL: 1.91 GB So with a 30 day period it would be alright then. Just don't play every day then, IF you want to do anything else. I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted January 6, 2007 CID Share Posted January 6, 2007 that was with hosting from 12 to 16 man games and a few that i didnt host but if you host them all just add a few hundred MB's on to that. you also have to remember these games i host are pushing from 1 mb upload to about 1.8 mb upload so if your not doing that its gonna be less than what i showed and if your just playing and no hosting its gonna be less than 25% of what i showed.

tommie gorman Posted January 6, 2007 CID Share Posted January 6, 2007 Till he caught his wife sneaking to pack. Then he figured he better get off. "Well there is no sense in me being here if that is all you are going to do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
