So I was on for about an hour or so today, and I have used almost a gig in my usage for my broadband. Does anyone have any idea what it is? I think it might be that I am still set to public on the multiplayer profile.Any ideas?

I have been flying with my session as public, and I haven't seen any transfers that big.I usually have 3-4 people in my sessions, data rate seems to be about 19kbps max according to the network logger I use.The flight download itself was 1.4gb I think, Hawaii pack was 450mb

What's the Windows version You use? You can check which app is using Your bandwidth in Resource Monitor.

I'm running Vista SP2. Don't seem to have a Resource Monitor though...

I do not use Vista for few years, but You can try this - hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc to display Task Manager. Under 'Performance tab', in bottom right there is a 'Resource Monitor...' button and the last tab ('Network') should interest You. At least this is the situation for W7.

Every time I hear about companies that only allow a limited usage per month, I cringe.I am sure it makes financial sense, but..... ouch!What country are you in?

A little off topic, sorry guys, but im curiose as to what happens when you hit your limit?Does your net just get cut off untill the next new month?

I haven't seen anywhere near that kind of usage in multiplayer. The most I've seen was with voice chat and that was maybe 10 meg per hour, if my memory is correct.I'm on satelite Internet, and my usage is capped at 17 gig per month download. If I go over this, they throttle back the download speed to about twice what a good dialup would get until the usage gets down to some limit, possibly 80% of max. No one likes this, obviously, but a satellite does have limited bandwidth.In a month or two they're upgrading to a new satellite, and for the same price I'll get 15 gig per month including both upload and download, but with much higher speeds. Currently 1.5 down, new one will be over 20. New one also resets at the beginning of the billing cycle instead of a rolling 30 day number, where they subtract what you used 30 days ago.Hook

Gah!On steam and etc I would download a 15gig file without even thinking about it. God only knows what the monthly is with the kids also downloading games, watching movies and etc.15gig per month cap and we would probably all die of net-starvation. :Pig:

15 gig doesn't seem like much, but for 50% more money you can get a 25 gig limit. :D Both are the same speed, much better than the current one with higer prices giving both more bandwidth and higher speed.Hook

I'm in Western Australia. It's not too bad for me. I had another look and it seems to have died down a fair bit, but it's only after I turned myself to Private. Will have another look tonight on a fresh day.

Yeah we get shaped to just above double dialup speed. I then tend to use my work iPad instead for net stuff.
