How much is normal/expected? To get a comparison.


lol unlimited isn't really unlimited. They will force choke your bandiwdth.
I guess it variates from ISP to ISP, but are there any examples of which ISP that reduce the bandwith after a certain amount of data has been downloaded? Which ISP is that, and how much is the bandwidth reduced with (and how much has to be downloaded for that to happen)?

Someone correct my numbers if I am wrong here, but putting this here for reference;

Netflix - 1GB/3GB/7GB per hour for a SD/HD/4k stream
Disney+ - 250MB/750MB/3GB/7GB per hour for a Low/Med (SD)/High (HD)/Ultra HD stream
PSNow - 2GB-3GB per hour for a 720p stream
Stadia - 4.5GB/9GB/15GB-20GB per hour for a 720p/1080p/4k stream
XCloud - TBD

The video services use a decent amount, and for the amount of hours people spend on those, that is shewing through tons of data right there (Hulu, Amazon, etc likely in the same ranges)

I would imagine that in order to have the quality, XCloud will come in around Stadia numbers give or take. Data caps be damned if you use multiple services like these lol.

It'll be interesting to see how many ISP bill horror stories show up on news sites when Stadia celebrates its first month "anniversary".

gb- Gigabit
GB- Gigabyte

8 bits = 1 byte

So in your post, is it bit or byte?

My fiber connection at home is unlimited, but my LTE plan has a 30GB limit. No way I'm able to stream games regularly.
