IAnd how are you playing XboxLive at a cap of 2GB? I think you are talking about your connection speed I am talking about your download and upload usage per month which for me is capped at 60GB.No, I mean I have a download cap of 2GB. My connection speed is 512kbps.

60GB is more than ample on a monthly basis for downloading demos, arcade games and updates in general. Online play usually employs constant stream of small chunks of data to allow the server to keep track of game-play. So i think you should be all set..Raz0redge
Isn't there a way to find out the average amount downloaded / uploading during an hour of xboxlive?If you're connecting to XBL through a router, there maybe statistics counters in that router that you can reset at a given point and then see what they look like after a gaming session. The other thing you could do is call your ISP to get your current usage stats and then after the gaming session call them back and see the difference..
Im hearing different amounts in some other forums but they sound more like guesses.

I saw one guy in a forum post saying it's probably around 800kbs just for downloading and maybe 100kbs for uploading. If that's the case and it's 900kbs or so then that means 54MB a minute and over 3GB an hourXbox Live runs smoothly on my 512kbps connection and it cannot transfer ANYWHERE NEAR 54MB per minute - so those figures are totally inaccurate.

I'm with Rogers Internet in Canada (Rogers sucks) and right now they are messed up with counting the usage so people can download as much as they want until they fix it but when they do fix it I want to know if I can still play online or not because I'm capped at 60GB a month.
My speed is fine as I'm at 1MB / Download Max and about 164kbs / Upload.
What is the average download usuage for let's say like playing COD2 for an hour. Not hosting mind you ofcourse.
My free month is done on the 12th and I'm not buying a subscription if I won't be able to play it with the usage cap every month. Anyone know the usage cause guys at Xbox support were morons.

You should have no problem at all. Although I do not do demos (I don't like to ruin the wow factor of seeing a new purchased game for the 1st time), I have a 4gb limit and I haven't passed the limit, and I use 360Live for more than a year now.

yeah, he's right, I had a 512kbps link until recently and experieced virtually no lag at all.
[QUOTE="miiiguel"]and kcpp2b, 900kbps (kbits) within a minute (sustain) equals ~ 5.4 Mb of tranfered information, not 54Mb. kcpp2b
kccp: yeah I know the ISPs are usually misleading:
1Mbit = 1,000,000 bits = 125,000 bytes or 125Kbytes per second, and this is in a error-free connection wich never happens, so expect roughtly in a 1Mbit connection to be able to get 100kbytes/s, wich is very good if achieveable.

I know what you mean ;)
I was most of a campaign guy myself, and still like to do the whole games solo, you know..., my pace and stuff..., but I had (have) great experiences on Live so far, mainly in Saint's Row (made some good friends). The Achievements thing is also great fun (to do/earn them, not to cheat), and do friendly competitions with friends, and discuss strategies... yeah it's a great system!
I don't have CoD3 but I believe it has no co-op. Try Saint's Row, it's very entertaining

What do you do on Saints Row live? Is it like Team Death match?
And how big is the playing area for it for online?
In Saint's Row one has Death Match; Team Death Match; Blinged Out Ride (very funny, you got kill the other guys in order to get money from the kills in order to upgrade the teams car; Protect the Pimp (one guy has no guns and the rest of the team have to protect him, obviously the other team must try to kill the pimp) - every mode can be played by a previously formed gang (aka clan).
About the solo experience if one wants to fo all the Achievements (like myself) expect arround 30-40 hours of play, if just want to do the main "quest" arround 20 hours.
The environments are very good looking, it's basicaly a good looking GTA minus the clever humour the later had.
60GB's is more than enough,i have a 40gb limit (BT) and i use around 1GB a day,so it's just right for me,you should be able to over over your limit anyway,but if you keep doing it then they will contact you and start charging for every extra GB you download over your limit,we'll thats what BT do over here in the UK anyhowblacktorn

nope, it's not the same. And sometimes bigger areas aren't the best choice, if for example you're doing gang matches, and each gang is playing with 3 members, for instance, a huge area would make the game very slow. It is still an average size (each scenario), though.
send me a FR if you want.
