2D internet usage

Does anyone know how little internet 2D uses? My guess is that it is very low, because I can run 2D fine even when I am capped (which is 6 kb/s up and down)

Just wondering, because people keep trying to blame me for going over our internet usage, when basically all I do on the internet here is iGP for about an hour and a half a day.

It varies, mainly depending on the number of cars in your race.  But on average the 2D viewer uses about 10kbps.  So if you've been capped at 6kbps then you might have some trouble with the viewer in races with many cars.  I think it's more likely you mean 6KB/s though (kilobytes rather than kilobits), in which case you should have no problem even in larger races.

At these speeds you can expect to receive in the region of 10MB of data if you spend an hour and a half watching a race through the 2D viewer.

Yes sorry that is what I meant. Thanks for the info, I'll tell them to stick it when I see them haha :D

6kbps is very low for up and down. My internet is about 170 times faster than you on upload and about 853 times faster on download.

I would recommend in seeking a different ISP, I really doubt you are getting your money worth.

I get 20mb down and 1mb up, with a 5ms ping. My connection is fine.

6kb/s is the speeds when we are capped (gone over usage allowance, whatever you want to call it)

All I was getting at is that people were trying to tell me that iGP was what was chewing through our 40gb allowance (they must see a moving image on my screen and assume it uses as much as youtube or something), which I knew wasn't the case, I just wanted to confirm it with someone.

This is some really interesting stuff to know, especially with the mobile version coming up, so I know how much watching a race will use :) - Although I presume that it could use less.

Jamie is very happy with his internet connection. Often leaves the game during the race and comes back like this:

That's very, very true. No problems for the time being though, yet, I still desire for faster internet speeds...
