ISP for PS3 Gaming?


[link to this post]
 
Guys,

I've just got a PS3 and want to go online at my girlfriend's house.

She wants internet there anyway for Itunes and stuff.

How much traffic does gaming use? (bad grammer there!?)

I'm with UKFSN at home but they sting you for overuseage. I get home from work at about half 6 but UKFSN start their offpeak at 8 (was 10 until recently I think)

Any suggestions?

Cheers

MD

What's wrong with UKFSN? If you need more usage just upgrade to the next package

You can get 60gb peak usage for

My question is how much allowance would online gaming use up?

Guessing its dependent on the game etc but how much gaming would Home 30 get me (peak time - 30gig) playing, say, Motorstorm (badly) on the PS3?

Gaming in general does not use up much bandwidth. If however you mix in content downloads and patches for the games (if the PS3 has such things) then obviously it can snowball. ]

Some of the demo's on the Xbox 360 are over 1GB so whilst playing them wouldn't use up much of your allowance, downloading them to begin with (again if the PS3 has similar functionality) certainly could.
