codeine Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Over the month of March, I've seen a MASSIVE increase in my internet usage. (MTNL DSL). Some days, (like for example HOLI) I've seen data transfers of 300 to 375 MB for 5-6 hours of continuous gaming. This wasn't the case with COD4. Fortunately I have Night unlimited - BUT - I've suffered a loss of Rs. 2300/- (thats 1.5 GB to 2 GB of datta transfer) because of KZ2 gaming. Has anyone else experienced the same?

lastAvenger Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thats why people have unlimited lines all the time. You will notice 95% gamers here have unlimited plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'AL' Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i'm changing my plan to unlimited next month for the same reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushy Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 for me it was 260 MB for 6 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonekrazy3000 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i aint surprised. Games like Battlefield 2 etc on the pc easily eat up around 100 mb (download+upload) in an hour. Since killzone 2 has massive ammounts of players in each server its kinda expected it would use a ton of bandwidth too. Like Lastavenger said most of us that play online multiplayer have unlimited plans. Since you already have night unlimited you could always play at night instead....

CountRock Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thats why people have unlimited lines all the time. You will notice 95% gamers here have unlimited plans. So true! Airtel 1mbps unlimited rocks I don't own a PS3 yet, I was wondering, how is the lag with online games? which region games do you play? In Singapore you get region 2 and 3, playing on region 1(US) makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The data transfer is not extremely high - seems to be about 50 mb an hour. Given the very high number of players that's ok. In fact there are games like TF2 which will automatically show hosts with lesser number of players if the bandwidth is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on how much time does it take for the packets to reach you from the server and the other way round. A good measure of this can be seen from the ping times.

Quite true.. ping times are more important... if you are a gamer, anything above 200ms (or ideally above 150ms) is a kill & will definitely cause lags.. From what i have read & heard, Tata Indicom & BSNL/MTNL provide the best pings while Airtel is plain bad with miserable ping times... plz dont kill me.. thats is what i have read online & heard from many many unsatisfied Airtel customers.. ..

dante77 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 no offence but most of the people actually dont know what is lag? LAG IN GAMES DOES NOT DEPEND ON YOUR CONNECTION. I have 256kbps UL BSNL plan and believe me I hardly suffer any lag, games just runs very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angad. Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I got MTNL 256kbps unlimited plan specially for online gaming :-), As the i dont need to get tensed over the bill amount, though i must confess, i miss the 'upto 2mbps' speeds!!! Hopefully soon enough we will have 2mbps unlimited plans which are affordable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
