Quote:I'm looking at a pay as you go wireless broadband service for the times where I must travel. Most of them seem to cap at 100mb to 250 mb a month. Does anyone have a feeling for how much bandwidth WoW uses per hour - not raiding or pvping - just solo questing or maybe 5 manning.
I haven't metered it, but since you can play it on a 33.6 kbps dial-up modem it can't be any more than...
33.6 kilo BITS/s * 1 Byte / 8 bits = 4.2 KB/s * 60s/min = 252 KB/min * 60 min/hr = 15120 KB/hr * 1MB/1024KB = 14.76 MB / hour.
That would be the max. Which would be nearly 7 hours if you have the 100mb cap. Again I don't think it uses even that much.
