Hello,
I have a very slow internet connection depending on time of day. Sometimes, it's worse than dial-up; other times, it gets near 1.5 Mbps. All-in-all, it's too darn slow to play EVE well. I am considering using my cell phone as a hot spot and using it when I want to play EVE. I currently have a 2 GB data limit and LTE. My question is this: how much data does EVE consume in a 1 hour period? I want to get a base line to go by so I can estimate how much data the game will use and figure out if my data limit will suffice. The hot spot will not be used for game updates; I'll rely on my slow internet for that.
Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

Is there a program I can use to monitor the data usage of Eve only? Thanks! |

Just general gameplay doesn't use more than a few mb usually (the patches are the big ones). Else in-game press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M and select "Network" and you will have stats from network.

I've played EVE tethered to my mobile phone, for roughly 4 months. I have a 1GB data plan.
EVE uses very little data, except for updates.
To get around that, I'd check to see what the current version was in the morning, and download the full offline installer onto a USB flash drive at the office. |

Older estimate was 2-4 KiB/s from a Dev, so that'll go into about 330 MiB / day if you're online 23,5/7 per client pr 14 MiB per hour. |

when i move around i use a hot spot fairly easy, i can play all month on a 1g plan, how ever with the extent of patches and "expansions" of their fixs you will go over your limit very fast on those
