I play a lot of games, browse a ton of reddit and other sites, and definitely go through all 20gb each month. The main thing I have to avoid is watching videos, and I try not to stream anything. It might not be the best option for you, but it works well, is reliable, and isn't shitty like satellite for gaming.

EQ uses hardly any data at all fyi. Mumble / TS / Ventrilo can use up some data if you don't set it up right.



Also, you suck.
How can I set up TS to not crush data? Lower quality audio codecs? Robot heallun making a return?

And I really do suck. I fully apologize. Gotta go earn cash tho [You must be logged in to view images.

I imagine target is like a 24/7 trak tank now and heallun is the VP zone in rez bot when sly isn't on, heh.

I've been busy as fuck lately with work and school and haven't been around much at all. Will be back to playing soonish though. Good luck with what you're doing and make dat paper bra.


As to TS, yeah you nailed it. Lower quality audio codecs. I haven't crunched numbers on TS (need to), but with my friends and mine mumble you could lower the compression quality (and have other people lower it that you talk to a lot). We use 12.8 kb/s. It's not THAT BAD sounding, but definitely saves on the data.

If you do go a route similar to what I use, just be very mindful and monitor your data usage closely for the first couple weeks or a month. Also, don't get drunk and pass out with video streaming because I ate through 5gigs in one night by leaving Cosmos playing on Discovery's website. It was a quick waste of $40ish bucks.

I feel dirty paying like a $110 for 10gb. It's...all so wrong.
