Does playing online games affects my monthly cap?
« on: May 28, 2013, 08:03:40 pm »
ask ko lang, if I have 3gb per day cap pano nababawasan yun by playing third party online game apps like in STREAM or HON or LOL? I havent tried pa. mababawasan ba yun?

yep updates, since your system downloads Data Files from updates they do

also anything you do on the internet send you data packed requests for every specific online application(games, web browser, downloads) and sata is sent back to your system, pero alam ko the actual gameplay itself doesnt consume as much bandwidth as downloading files

of course nababawasan yan, kahit pa through third party ang connection, the key word is may connection.

example maglaro ka ng HON, LOL or whatever acronym game, yung mga data na need ng game like updates of position, stats, etc etc syempre ipapadala yun sa game server, then the game server will in turn send in data to you with regards data from other players you are playing with. that consumes bandwidth.

as to kung gaano kalaki, depende to sa game. some games most of the data is stored locally so the only connection needed is mga updates like yung mentioned earlier. pero ibang games need more data as not much data is stored locally so of course these consume more bandwidth. kaya minsan pag naglalaro ka ng ibang games mapansin mo mabagal masyado ang galaw mo and ang galaw ng screen, thats probably because your connection is not yet done downloading the needed data for the game
