Bandwith Usage for Sky Poker?

RyanAA85

Hi guys,Does anyone know approx how many MB you would use up per hour playing 1/2 tables on here?A bit of a geeky question I know but BT have just advised me I have exceeded 17GB last month, seems awfully high and it does seem to correspond with when I started out on here.ThanksRyan

I'm sure there has been a thread on this subject where Machka posted some stats, but I can't find it via the search. No doubt he'll be along with a link soooooooon

Google bandwidth monitors.

Download and install one of the many free ones available, then next time you're going to play note down your usage before and after.

If you play alot you are best off going with someone who provides unlimited broadband, I use sky ofc.

Netmeter is your friend. Also shows if there's any suspicious activity, such as constant uploading and downloading when you're not doing anything,

See this thread here.

But the summary is: One hour of usage by 1 table, 1 lobby (275 players) in the download client was about 10.2MB downloaded and 2.2MB uploaded.

Let's say you 2-table, 5 hours a day for 25 days of the month.

10.2MB x 2 x 5 x 25 = 2.55GB.

Have you been streaming the show online?  As that uses about 360MB / hour or 1.44GB / show.
