I do 12 hour shifts at work and play about 10 hours of that time. I use less then 40mb of data a shift playing EQ.

That's what I get, as well: about 4MB/hr.

Just playing casually, (solo, grouping, camping etc) around to 8-10MB per hour. If you're raiding or sitting in EC at peak times, it'll be significantly more than that. Run a free program called BitMeter 2 next time you play and that will give you an idea on how much bandwidth you're using. Just be sure you're not doing any web surfing or downloading at the time or it will skew your numbers.

Comcast tested this in my market for 5 years. They put 250gb cap. I would produce 750gb months and never got a notice. I avg'd probably 320gb a month. It is mostly a tool to prevent bot-nets, and torrent-ers off their systems. They could point to a clause in contract and easily boot you.

It is mostly a fear tactic to try to get you to reduce your consumption. Problem is consumption has been increasing year over year at a very rapid rate. Everyone wants a HD quality video, Youtube even does 2k. Shit I thought I saw 4k. Articles like this from 2012 point to it Linky!. Up 120% in 1 freaking year, Netflix responsible for 33% of that increase, Youtube is 8% of all traffic and Facebook double that almost at 15% and this was 2012![You must be logged in to view images.
