I was wondering if neopets and its flash games take up loads of GB as I have a 40 GB limit each month

From what I've been googling, I've been reading that neopets isn't very bandwidth intensive.

Wow, thats a low limit. Why so low?? My bf and I used at least 80-100GB every month and our limit is 250GB.

[Waser Lave]

No, it won't take up much bandwidth.

[Louphoria]

I dunno it's my mother's choice, she's thinking of going unlimited though. Thats the standard rate here. It's either 40GB or go unlimited.

How about the bots, would they take up gb too if I leave them running? I'm just a bit paranoid because you need to pay extra if you've gone over the limit... XD

Using the programs will use less bandwidth than doing the same actions normally because they don't load any images or things like javascript etc.

[Louphoria]

Oh okay that's great Phewww... I'll take it easy on the browsing though XD

40GB divided by 8.61kB (size of a stocked Food shop) is 4.6 million page loads.

Even if you assume a purchase every eight seconds, which would be 3 page loads, with the autobuyer running continuously, your allotted bandwidth would last you four months, twenty one days and seventeen hours.

I think you're good.

Sweeney you are amazing <3 Thanks for that!

[Sweeney]

Alot of math there, son

Although that doesn't take into account anything else they might be doing with their internet connection during the month too, of course. I think I probably get through 40GB within a week so it's probably a good job I have unlimited.

Same xD But it doesn't sound like they're a tremendously net-intensive family.

[Louphoria]

Well, i;m the only one using the internet mostly. Apparently I used over 100GB last month xD

As long as they're not downloading music, tv programmes or films every day *cough* they should be fine.

Looks like Joe was wrong.

[Louphoria]

That's because I was doing those things you mentioned, Waser Lave XD

Well... don't xD
It's hard to reach that kind of level unless you're downloading television, film, or copious amounts of music, in which case "unlimited" is a sound investment.

*slow*

You should probably get unlimited if you want to continue doing that then. I personally think it's a waste of time having broadband if it's limited to only 40GB a month especially considering I have a 40Mb connection so it's pretty easy to use up all that bandwidth quickly.

[Louphoria]

Darn it I need unlimited! Haha... yes I was downloading a couple of games, watching tv and partially downloading music. I think i'll just browse from now on. Hopefully it won't use up too much GB XD

*definitely.

[Kido]

Whoa sweeney. Awesome math o.o
My whole family has 60GB a month and three of us are major internet users. Not to mention we stream HD anime every day. We monitor our internet usage really closely to try to avoid overdoing it. So far when comparing the days I don't go on neo and the days I do there's like no difference so I don't think it should be too much of a problem

[Louphoria]

Thanks for the helpful advice guys it's really helped a lot

Haha. That's tons in New Zealand.
Starting broadband plans are from 1GB a month, and it's like $60 a month for 40GB.
(and then the internet is dead slow anyway)

Anyway, Neo doesn't take up much bandwidth.

haha, they have cities in NZ right ?
Here in Belgium they're trying for the first time 'unlimited' but it's still with special conditions as max 10G a day and such.

[ElPinapple]

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about bandwidth.

But yeah, I think Neopets is pretty light.

[crtitcmeerca]

I dont think that neopets is very heavy on your bandwith, so 40GB a limit is more than enough. I think the bandwith will only be strongly affected by downloads and continuously loading new things. But even then, 40 GB should be more than enough for lots of internet time, unless you are downloading lots and lots of things...
