First Person Shooters are the more bandwith hungry and they use about 5/5 (Down/Up) and 10/5 KB/s of bandwidth. Or perhaps they are talking about the content distribution system. Anyway, why don't they try to make the multicasting system more widespread? -- SHARPSHARK

Only the data telling the mahcine what to do is transmitted. You could play Halo 3( or whatever ) 24/7 and only use up maybe 15 GB a month.
