How much Data Usage does this game require?
We observed the data usage from the beginning and it needed ~ 20 GB installation and then around 30mb/h/person.
We decided that 40 GB just for GW2 for two people should be more than enough to never ever get any problems with too much data usage. (Luckily we now have a 100gb broadband plan, so we do not have to think about that anymore)
But it also worked out for us as we only had 20gb/ month together. But we didn’t have to do any big GW2 update during this time, just a few minor.
And we played a lot (3-4h/day.. maybe more cannot remember correctly)
I play GW2 a lot (I am frequently online all day), and I use the internet for all the other stuff as well (youtube/emails/facebook etc) as well as my wifes internet usage. I have a 20Gb per month plan and we barely hit 10Gb used each month. After the initial download (if you are downloading it) your usage should be easily managed.
Thought I’d put this up here, this is 30 minutes of playtime in Orr, unfortunately there weren’t any other players there so “bandwidth may vary”.
First one is in bits/second
Second one is bytes/second
Bandwidth is calculated with 1024, not 1000 like hard drives.
