I don't know exact numbers, but I think it uses slightly more than CS:Source. Dunno if it helps or not, but it's a start.

I just played 5 games of Free For All with around 16 players on the server. I measured the bandwidth usage with the free program that can be found here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Netwo [...] itor.shtml

I used 6.96 MB download and 5.33mb upload for a total of around 12mb of bandwidth usage.

Hope this helps...

What do you mean capped? Does you internet service limit how much data you can send and receive?

Yes, in some countries they do. Satellite connections in the USA are capped too. They have a "fair access policy" or FAP. You get great down and up speeds, but as soon as you hit your daily bandwidth limit, you go down to 56k speeds until the next day. This is a policy the sat isp's do not advertise, but is in the small print.

That is why I don't have satellite. And I would rather eat a big hairy spider then get back on dial-up speed. :pt1cable:

ha ha ha! Yes, we have to buy bandwith here, its really bad caus the goverment has a monopoly on the whole thing, no compitition at all, there are three cellular companies who offer wireless internet but thats no good for gaming, obviously.

Thanks krisboro, sweet info.

Its about R150 (22 dollars, 11 pounds) for a gig here, how funny is that?

lol @ the wireless companies. They always crack me up when I hear them on the radio. "Download files and pictures at blazing wireless broadband speeds!"
