Guys, im new to Guild Wars 2, in fact i just started 3 days ago…
Yesterday, my in law and my sister complained that they can’t use the internet and they blame me for playing Guild Wars 2, said that it suck the speed. And they “lecture” me really hard to the point that i want to get really angry at them if not for the fever im having.

Thing is, when i tested my internet speed using Baidu, it says my download speed is 22.7 Mbps (usually during the day its 10 Mbps)
I tried to search around google about Guild Wars 2 bandwith usage and found out that it only uses 16.6 Mb per hour
I also downloaded bandwith monitor to keep track, and the bandwith usage when im playing is up and down, when doing some champion killing with some people i dont know, the highest usage was 300 kbps, but then it drops to the usual 2-12 kbps after the fight.

my question is, is it true that because i’m playing Guild Wars 2, everyone can’t use the internet ? considering the fact that my download speed is 22Mbps and GW2 only uses 16 MB per hour

it is said there that GW2 uses less bandwith than BF3
i used to play BF3 with my PS3, and no one ever complained about the internet being slow.

im not really good at IT, so if anyone can help me i’d be really grateful
thank you for your time.
