Average bandwidth usage per hour of multiplayer?

Can anyone tell me this, now that there's a handy monitor included in the latest update?

If you run some tests specifically with Diablo 3, there's a cookie in it for you!

Thanks in advance!

how many gb would i use playing cod on live

Kind of a tricky question to answer accurately because data usage in online gaming can vary a lot. Hosting the match, having more players in the match, more people using voice chat will all raise the amount of data being downloaded/uploaded. If possible,
the best thing to do is measure the bandwidth usage while gaming over a number of hours and then calculate an average per hour. I don't know how to measure bandwidth usage on an Xbox 360 though.

Anyone know if cloud computing takes extra bandwidth?

It will have negligible affects on your bandwidth usage. There were studies done on WoW a few years ago to determine how much data it used. It was determined to use around 5Kbps of data on average. Assume the ONE's cloud computing uses twice this amount.
This would be 36Mbps per hour. If you played 12 hours a day for 30 days this would only come to about 13Gb.

You can now keep track of your bandwidth through the Network section of Settings.

And I'd be sure to check it, if I owned one

8 hours in, I'm at 20% at an average bandwidth usage of 0.42 MB/s, when my internet is currently speed testing at 10 MB/s on my computer. Never. PreOrdering. Digital. Again.
