But a voice chat like Ventrilo use's a lot of bandwidth (compared to SCII). Btw for wow I know that the bandwidth you use is different for what situation you are in. For example when my internet was capped I had no problem grinding, or leveling a char. But if I would go raiding I just dc'ed on boss-encounters because the bandwidth ski rocketed there. | ||

As someone mentioned a replay file is all the information needed for the game to communicate and they're ~2-300k for 15 minute games. There is probably other information being transfered, but <2kbps down sounds about right. The amount of data being transfered is ridiculously low. WoW requires many, many times more depending on what is going on. Up to 20-30kbps. That's with mods that suck it up and in a raid and crap though, not normal operation. Normal for WoW is around 4-6kbps total. | ||

Usually, for RTS: 1 hour of intensive play = 5 to 10mb. FPS: 20 to 30mb. MMO: 50mb | ||

I can attest to the fact that SC2 doesn't tend to use more than 2-3kB/s, and also, I saw someone here on TL talking about playing on 56k Dialup, which maxes out around 5kB/s. He said he was able to play fine, albeit with higher latency, which has more to do with the analog connection than it does with his latency. | ||
