I have been searching the fourm's and i haven't found a post to say anything about how much the ps3 uses whilst online gaming.

Outside of gamespot i have heard that in a hours worth of gaming it eats up around 30-40mbph

is this true? does anyone know or has anyone done a test to see how much they are using?

I would love to know what Call Of Duty 5 and Fifa 09 uses. ( im usually playing them for around 4-5 hours a day )

I guess it all depends on the game, but on average it should run about 25-50 MBs/h or so Google says.

GUYS games do not take up much bandwidth despite what you may think. If your playing for 4 to 5 hours of constant heavy gaming you might use 100-150 megs depending on the game and situation. Most stuff really doesnt take a whole lot of bandwidth. Heavy downloading and uploading do. Lets put it this way. Ive had my PC on with steam, teamspeak, aim, and bf2 for almost 150 hours of on time this month and im barely over a gig. And bf2 is 64 person and server supported so your taking a heavy down and load up.

While you are correct in your first statement, the second is just false. You will use a meg every 15 seconds or so while gaming, thats 4 megs a minute. If you do some simple math its 240 megs per hour or about a gig in 4-5 horus.

@budboarder i have been reading over the internet and alot of people have tested it and they have found out that 200-300mb's were used for around 5-6 hours gaming so that works out as 50mbp's per hour. Some games they said only use around 20-30mb's so if i go on there for around 3-4 hours a day i should only use roughy around 8g's a month.

Tbh i have a 6GB limit, past that and i get charged per GB over and an email warning me. But the hours i've been on my PS3 online, internet on my laptop, downloads through PS3 & PC and everything i've not gone over my limit. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

* Megabit (Mb, or properly: Mbit), a unit of information commonly used to express the rate data is transferred.

* Megabyte (MB), a unit of information used, for example, to quantify computer memory or storage capacity.

1 megabits = 0.125 megabytes

I have a 6Mb internet package with a 20GB monthly cap. I have 2 PS3's, a Home Theater PC, and two laptops. I've only gone over my limit once downloading HD movies for rent.

It doesn't matter how long you're on your PS3. What you are asking for would require the ability to track data packet transfers for your entire network. You'd be better off contacting your ISP to find out what the last several months of usage were.

im reseaching this cus comcast is starting to put a limit on how many Gigabites of data you can use a month, with in my opinion sucks. But i think they are still trying it in Oregon or something like that. and i was searching this too, and ive come to find a few topics that a regular game of halo 3 for about 3 or 4 hours use like 5gb. i live in the U.S. and this is the first time ive heard of this, and i think this is retarded.
