Do u guys have ADSL caps like i have a 3 gb cap per month and when i go over 3gb of data sent and recieved i get capped and get given fokol internet!!! and i noticed that bf2 takes up a hell of a lot of my cap, a lot more than css did like i cant play as much as i want because ill get capped to quikly and with css i could play a lot more because it used much less of my cap...im not saying watsoever that css is better than bf2 but it used less of my cap and i get pretty much exactly the same ping/lattency in both games and does one know how to make it use less ???? i know its poorly worded, im tired and if u dont understand any of it just ask me...

Bambi, BF2 uses between 30-40mb per hour for a 48 player map, even more for a 64 player map. BF2 eats a 3gb cap veeery quicly, depending on how often you play. I only can play in the evenings and don't download huge demos etc, so 3gb is enuf for me..although this month i had to buy a 1 gb booster to make it through the month.

No way to really make it use less, it is a bandwidth hog :(

Yes, correct. Well, you could say it, but noone would believe you, and no. It's ok, you're forgiven.

I have a Telkomsa 3GB account, but with their 'new' policy you can apparently safely go to 10GB without being capped. Talk to Sosaman about it, he is from the inside :D I went to 5.4 Gigs last month.

and if it dies... then use my other account for the rest of the month

Make sure you've selected a 256 instead of a T1/LAN in options ... main screen.
If you're in a squad that is babbling ... leave them ... they're chowing bandwidth using VIOP.

Other than that ... make sure nuffink else is running and eating your bandwidth.

Errm. No. That would be just a little bit... odd.

:eek:

Mind you..after thinking about it a bit... underpants might work... but then you'd have to wear it over your pants, Superman style! :D
