WoW internet useage

[Landfall]

So i recieved an email off BT today saying i'd used 32Gb of my 40Gb usage... but i dont really know how.
I downloaded the RIFT Beta at 7Gb and just general use of the internet, the usual Facebook, Porn and Forum sites.
Also the use RIFT and WoW in game...

I just dont know how i used up this much... so to get to my question eventualy:
How much useage does WoW and other such games use? And how much would i of played to get it that high?

EDIT: Also the use of Iplayer quite heavily.

I don't know for sure but I remember reading a bluepost awhile back saying at the most WoW will only use a few hundred Mb a month.

The useage is really low i guess the patch counts towards it aswell and streaming porn can take some mb's but dunno how you reached 32 GB The problem isn't with wow though thats for sure

I mean when i got into the RIFT beta.. that was a 7Gb download, and then i played 19 hours streight so i guess that could of bumpted it up a little?

Here are your problems. Online games don't take much bandwidth. Video streaming does. And the 7+ GB Rift download is adding to that as well. Facebook fotos can be rather heavy as well.

40gb seems pretty low even if you don't use it for Illegal purposes
I use at least that much between revision3 and netflix streaming between 1-2 weeks
you mention your dad being pissed did he use any of that bandwith
should just convice him to upgrade to unlim plan its only £28 and you're still getting over twice the speed i get for the same amount of cash
either that or find a provider that tiers there pricing based on speed instead of monthly cap

I don't know about RIFT, but WoW won't even use 1gb per month, I'm assuming RIFT is the same but I had to download a 4.5GB patch after downloading the 7GB game.

Oh and I don't know what Iplayer is but if you are streaming music a typical 128kbs stream will take up around 30-40MB per hour. It's not much, but if you stream 10 hours every day, it will easily add up a few GB.

Ah i forgot about the patch... that would be why it is so high... not getting into headstart will be a kicker

Your average show on Iplayer is like 400 - 700 megs . 1 - 9 minute 1080 video on youtube is around 200-300 MB .So there you go, mystery solved.
