ddff Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) Can you afford playing MTA online games? This topic is not about MTA in particular but also about other online games. To say it simple, i can't afford online gaming with my internet connection even i have ADSL (768 kbit down, 256 kbit up). All popular 3d shooters use a lot of bandwith, about 30 MB and more per hour play. Online rpgs waste 10 MB per hour. And the problem is that my traffic (up+down) is limited to 1 GB. So i want to know more about your connections, if you play online games, to see if something with my connection is wrong ? Or is lan play the only option for me Edited February 20, 2004 by Guest Link to comment
vass69 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 my connection isnt limited i can play as much i want Link to comment
orappa Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Can you afford playing MTA online games? Does this poll include how much time you have free to play games? My ISP doesn't impose a bandwidth limit as far as I'm aware, but I'm too busy too afford more than a couple of hours a week. Link to comment
ddff Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 No, the thread is not about your personal time, but about the costs and limits (e.g. cost per minute, or bandwith limit). Link to comment
dystopia Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Yeah, I'm on a similar connection unlimited, but when we were limited we could release and renew our ip and it would refresh our bandwidth lmao, this was years ago tho, 5 bucks a month is totally worth an unlimited acct...especially when you host your own...erm...shady server Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 i ussually play mta for 4 hours a day or something, longer when i'm bored Link to comment
Oyst Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Not limited here, were with ntl cable. Cost 25 a month and you can use it as much as you like. Link to comment
-UtopiA- Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 No limit here. I believe it's $39.99/Month, but probably lower now.. Cable, by the way. (I live in a rural area; so for some reason, Cable/DSL ISPs think they can charge a lot...) Link to comment
ddff Posted February 21, 2004 Author Share Posted February 21, 2004 You are VERY lucky. Link to comment
Dawgy Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I'm on cable, and my ISP says something like you're unlimited until they think you are hogging too much. I've downloaded versions of Linux and everything, and they haven't contacted me yet. It's $39.99 a month for unlimited 2MB / 128K up. Link to comment
dystopia Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 verizon says the same for me, my server probably does near a gig upload a month, and who knows what amount i dl every month lmfao...i seem to fill my network with crap every 2 weeks Link to comment
ijsf Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I don't have a limit at all.. it's pretty nice if you download and upload lots of stuff, like me.. as well as online gaming, so yes.. i can afford playing online games. atm, i'm downloading & uploading around 10gb per month Link to comment
Guest Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Well, I can play as long as my parents pay for the Comcast cable I'm on. They haven't told me about any bandwidth limits or pricing. However, don't even come CLOSE to thinking I have the good life: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 512 MB DDR PC2100 RAM ATi Radeon 9600 XT Integrated nVidia nForce sound chipset And to top it all off...it's a COMPAQ. That means no upgrading the mobo or power supply-or due to my stepdad, the processor(which is REALLY close to becoming mere crap). Luckily, the GTA series isn't very demamding. Wish I could say the same for UT 2004 Assault/Onslaught... I might have to stop ranting about other things. Link to comment
Guest Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 AMD Athlon XP 1800+512 MB DDR PC2100 RAM ATi Radeon 9600 XT Integrated nVidia nForce sound chipset Actually, that's above decent.. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being uber perfect, 1 being old and crappy, 5 just being "OKAY".. That's a 6 or 7.. Link to comment

eAi Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I've locked this post because: - Its been bumped - It was a dumb poll in the first place as virtually no-one (appart from australian of cheapo people) have such strict limits or pricing that this is relevant - I like using my powers - I'm bored k? eAi Link to comment
