I've just had a few games of Desert Combat (the BF1942 Mod) - I reset
netmeter before starting and it's showing 46.13MB download & 13.34MB Upload
- not a huge amount, but more than casual web-browsing.

Indeed. Everquest / Everquest 2 is quoted by Sony as using around
1Mb/hour.

Hi,

There was a post on our forums a while back from someone that suggested
they used on average around 30MB per hour.

With Regards,

Playing Halo CTF for about an hour is about 29Mb up and 9 down or 9 up and
29 down, whichever :P
