Kenner, LA | Thank you cox Thanks for letting me play Simcity 5 without any disruptions! I am curious how much bandwidth does gaming take?
I have over 50 hours of Simcity 5 already logged should I be worried ? |

Re: Thank you cox You were able to play 5 hours straight? Wow.. that takes skill with their servers. XD
Honestly though, from what I heard from the other forums, best guess is about 10-15MB a hour. Alot of it depends on the health of the server, if you just have one city Vs many, how you play, your game speed, etc. Also I guess when you first start it it automatically starts downloading a update 5GB+, so take that into consideration too. |

I wouldn't worry about online bandwidth for gaming as that takes nothing, Kbps. Downloading the game though probably took a nice chunk, that's like 10GBs right? |

kudos:1 | Actually I would normally agree, if we were taking FPS or MMORPG, but I think this game stores your maps online and it also sync stats and a bunch of other things, so from what I heard the bandwidth use is abnormally high. The unknown is how much of that transfer rate is just error correction and resent data because of server issues. |

They want to do away with the servers. |

My point is I haven't had any problems sense the beginning of the launch at all.
Game downloaded in less than 2 hours I got it before the rush. |

kudos:1 | My tongue in cheek comment aside, he is posting a positive post, which I don't think we see enough of around here. Lately, the servers have been a lot better, I'm just annoyed with the UI bugs. I personally give this thread a thumbs up. |
