First off all excuse me for my English, I’m not an native speaker.

Now the academic year has started again, I’m in a new dorm room with a new internet connection. Apparently they blocked the neccesary ports to run GW2 (torrents also won’t work sadly). A solution I found is a cheap internet connection which has a bandwith of 10 GB per month. I would only use these 10 GB to play GW2. For Patching and stuff I would use the campus internet. I just wonder how much GW uses. When I’m online I like to do WvW or farming Cursed Shore events. Does anyone know if this would be possible?

Depends on how much you play.

If I remember correctly, GW2 uses about 50-60Kbps (Kbytes/second). Without doing any math, I think you would probably be OK with a 10G/month limit.

Check with your collage admin they will sometimes open the ports you need but they charge a fee and you have to sign a waver saying if you or anyone does anything ilegal on your PC you will be held responsible.
