If anything like most server based MMO games I'll take a shot in the dark and say from 9-30Mb an hour, somewhere in there.

Edit: Unless you're referring to server bandwidth consumed per month which can be up to 2Tb from what I've heard.

Actually, DayZ or Arma2, uses a highly above average amount.

I'm from Ireland, and unfortunately I am stuck with an ISP that gives a monthly limit.

In a 30 day period, I cannot go over 70gb a month.

So, I have a chart I can use to monitor my usage.

On days where I play DayZ.. the Upload is HUGE.

Any other day, playing LoL, Darkfall Online or whatever else I do, even heavy Facebook/Youtube usage, I never see as much bandwidth usage, like when I do after playing some DayZ.

There is an example. Just ONE day of DayZ. Its clearly visible on the right. You can see the Red (Red = Uploaded Blue = Downloaded). Upload is way above average. I'm not sure what it is about this game. I guess the character saving perhaps.

This is just me though, as a player playing from home.

So if you meant server hosting bandwidth... yes, its approx 2TB. Insane.
