Hey guys,

internet/min?

Off the top of my head I think it was something like 60-90 MB per hour...?

I'm not sure on the exact figures but the mission file alone is 8MB and most games need at least a 256kb/s download rate to play well. so what you should consider is how expensive mobile internet is in your country and how stable/fast it is.

It eats so much bandwidth that my flatmate constantly moans at me that i lag his games out.... Standalone however is said to be less Internet hungry..

try living with a GF and 2 kids, 2 P.C.'s a laptop, an Ipad, and 3 mobile phones all hooked up. I have to play DayZ when they are all out and I have 100mb (Virgin)

I love Grandmas' the weekend it's all mine.

Edit: and a bloody X-Box 360

Im on BT Infinity at around 35mb. Never had any problems with lag and i often stream myself a soundtrack in the background while running. When my dad kicks up a torrent though i am instantly BE kicked for 1000 ping +

[Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521]

im only on BT unlimited at about 5-6mb at the best of times.

2 desktops playing games, my GF's laptop and she's always streaming her Manga, multiple phones connected and an xbox 360. Somehow i play with about 35 ping on our UK server and about 130 on our US.

Somewhat, amazed at how many assholes are responding to the OP.

* Maybe he ain't a tech savy individual.

To the OP.

* I would personally suggest getting over 3mbps.

- While I had 3mbps, DayZ had some serious desync issues.

- While for other games, I had no issue.

Try around 6 - 8 mbps.

its a lot of internet. i remember the days when you could play a game and it would only use a bit of your internet

Thanks!

Though can you point me to a conversion table between mbps and internet?

I would like to have the precise numbers.

At least 12/324567 of the entire internet i would guess.

i have no idea mate i was attempting to troll you.... i have failed you trollmaster

[Mos1ey 6301]

My friend has pay as you go internet, so he likes to keep an eye on how much variuous programs and games use. I think he said DayZ uses around 400kb/s, which is quite a lot.

Man we could have had so much fun!

People these days: no imagination! :(

1mb = 1,000kbps.

Personally, I use At&t.

* And of course, they don't give the max amount of bandwidth you pay for.

- Might just be me, don't know.

But when I was paying for 3mbs, I was getting about 330 kbps.

- Of course I've got a better service.

- So in a way of saying, getting something better than 300 kbps, lol.

[Mos1ey 6301]

Ouch, with Virgin Media I was paying for 30mb/s and getting 32mb/s, lol.

Wait where is the mbps gone to? And that still doesnt account for the amount of internet used.

Could you maybe explain a bit more in detail?

Ah fuck this:

Usually your ISP provides you with a number in K(ilo), which in turns stands for 1000. They omit the actual phyiscal quantity which would be B(its).

In order to break it down to a value you can work with you would divide that by 8 (1Byte = 8Bits).

So a 16000K internet connection offers 2000K(ilo)B(ytes) of bandwith which is roughly(!) 2M(ega)B(ytes)/s(econd).

I say roughly because MB != MiB.

You don't use internet, you transfer data. If you're trolling, you aren't doing a very good job. :S
