WoW Gold : On WoW's bandwidth consumption

Jan Technically, this week, it's "two bosses leave" because we're wrapping up two separate fights. First up, Kel'Thuzad vs. Archimonde. This was a close fight, with a 14 votes (out of a total of 2508) separating the winner from the loser. As you might guess, opinions on the article were quite varied, with little consensus as to who would win or why -- but in the end, 14 more voters felt that Kel'Thuzad would be victorious.

Some of you may have heard about the ISP Comcast's new 250 GB per month bandwidth caps. We've even gotten a few emails asking how this is going to affect wow gold players. You can set your minds at ease: this will not affect us in any significant way.

The highest bandwidth I've ever heard of wow gold using at a time is 30 KBps; this is in situations like raid fights or zoning into a city when there's a lot of data flying around. So if wow gold was always running at peak bandwidth, 24x7, you'd be looking at around 70 GB per month, a sizable chunk of your cap. However, I rarely if ever see it go as high as 30 KBps; typical usage is more like 5 or below, often even in the sub-1 KBps range. And nobody plays wow gold 24x7 all month, I hope.

Let's say your average wow gold bandwidth is 2 KBps, which I believe to be a reasonable estimate. That comes out to about 7 MB per hour. So to estimate your monthly usage from wow gold , multiply that 7 MB by how many hours you play a day (on average), then by 30. The average wow gold player is on for something like 20 hours a week, which comes out to 600 MB per month - about 0.2% of 250 GB. Even if you were on 24x7 all month, you'd still only be looking at 4.8 GB, less than 2% of the cap. [Edited to fix numerical mistakes]

In short, you won't have to cut back on wow gold to stay under a 750 GB per month cap.
