Does Xbox -> PC Streaming Use Carrier Data?

I was playing Gears of War (Xbox 360), digital download on the console, and streaming the game to my PC. I checked the data usage on my console and it said I used upwards of 20Gb in the couple hours that i was playing. I would like to know if the program
is bugged, since the console thinks it is streaming data over the local network it will still add onto the "data used" in the bandwidth information, or if using the streaming service or backwards compatibility over digital downloads actually uses carrier data.

:)

 

Xbox One is using insane amounts of data!?

Are you streaming/casting media from a pc or phone to your Xbox? The Xbox does not differentiate between network traffic and actual internet use.

 

Wireless to Router, Ethernet to PC .. ?

So, my Setup:

Router in the office (SKY TV's home hub)

PC and XBOX ONE in the bedroom.

Both the PC and XBOX are currently using Wireless... but my tiny estate has lots of talk on all wireless channels, so sometimes I find it's hopped channels depending on who and how many in the area are using wifi. Simply put, when I would use it, its too
weak for high bandwidth activites like streaming from xbox to pc, or for music,. the reverse.

there is an option of daisy chaining though:

XBOX -ethernet> PC -wireless> Router,,, but that means I need my PC on to be online with the xbox... aaaand why repeat steps in and out of that setup on the occasions I dont want to use my pc and later want to record something,

So, quick question before I go buy a crossover cable (because since when does hardware that supports using simple patch cat5 cable in crossover mode actually work) can i still use wireless for internet, even though the ethernet would be plugged in for streaming
to PC? ... and just a thought: might want that feature. I know that the 360 didn't, since it hid the wireless options when it detected ethernet plugged in.
