I've got a friend in Europe who pays through the nose for high speed bandwidth. Anything above 1GB downstream per month and he gets hit with a big bill. He had to quit playing Planetside because he was paying 70 or 80 Euros a month.
I know EVE is pretty light on bandwidth. I've even watched the packet monitor and noticed that the game does not send very much unless you change directions, activate a module, etc. or unless other ships are in the area and doing things (or NPC's). I have noticed a lot of data being transferred upon area changes, like jumping, or docking, but only maybe 60 to 100 KB per change.
If anyone has some bandwidth stats (other people in this position) plz let me know. How bandwidth efficient is the game? I don't mean in terms of lag, but in terms of how much it'd cost for somebody with a metered ISP.
Replies appreciated. |

Tell your friend to try a utility like DU Meter
http://www.dumeter.com/
http://www.hageltech.com/download/dumeter3.exe
That will give him bandwith usage in a nice graphical way and the software also estimates weekly/monthly usage and so on.

Personally, I think the fact this game uses little bandwidth is why there's so many connection issues - there's not enough continuous interaction with the game servers.

If all your gonan do is play EVE, you'll never get over 1 GB/month.
EVE is very light on network traffic. Only logging in sometimes takes some traffic [Im guessing about 400KB]
