Looking To Come Back, But...

Hey folks,

I recently moved to New Zealand from the UK, and I'm starting to feel the itch with regards to playing XI again. There's just something I'm unsure of, and hopefully you guys may have some ideas.

Basically internet here is a bit different from back home. As opposed to paying for download speeds, you're paying for download limits. Because of this, I have no idea how much data I'll be transfering and how much of the limit I'll be using up each month if I started playing FF. I've read somewhere to allow for between 100-200mb every hour when playing online games, I'm just wondering if you guys would have any other information you could provide.

Thanks!

Sed.

Seriously, SE gets blamed for everything >.>

You're just allergic to sheep

How much bandwidth can a game designed to be playable on a 56 kbps (or lower) connection take?

Find a provider not HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, theres always one.

There's Slingshot, a provider that piggybacks from your land line (assuming you have one) and offers no limits off peak, but other than that it's all pretty much limted.

Soooo anyone else got any information? Or is Shiroi's estimation pretty much on the mark.

well first off SE bottle necks the connection on their end to 56k last i heard. Then you have lot US companys were looking to adopt this practice. Comcast was gonna limit it to 250gig a month then cut people of if hit the limit or charge extra. It was trying be blocked in court i think comcast won but then didn't hear anything past that on it. Other companys were looking to do similar plans.

guess have figure out max for 56k/s for a day could be.

edit: honestly you're prob better staying away. I mean hell you in new zealand look around you..
