Data Usage for PoE Per Hour?

I don't see why people use that, It's slow and cost alot more.


I don't know where you live, but there are plenty of countries in which it's over 10MB/s and costs just as much if not cheaper than a standard connection.
played maps with a mate.
two hours and five minutes with a downloadtraffic of 35.8 mb
The op's friend should find a friend who can host her laptop
for a few hours here and there in order to dl major patches,
windows updates, anything fairly large... all at once.

if shes not using a laptop, she could have a friend dl stand alone
patches for poe/windows/other nessicery large files and burn them.

data charges are pretty extreme... worth the several bucks + favor
+ gas money to avoid those charges.

(I burn dvd's of patches / software for my bro for this reason)
How did you exhume an 8 months old thread?

For me it uses about 3KB/s recieved and 0.06KB/s sent with 20 - 30 KB/s spike on loading new area. After 10 minutes it used 4MB total So about 20 - 25MB per hour.

After reading this thread I felt quite happy and thought I can play Poe. The place I live at right now has a very limited amount of data per month.
But now I played my first 3 hours and used 142mb. That's way too much unfortunately. Are there any settings I can adjust to reduce the amount of data used? I play already on potato graphic settings and played only solo. Is there a difference in data usage in Lockstep vs. Predictive?

If this would be the case I would be extremly happy, but that's far off from my usage. I know this thread is old, but I expected only improvements in this regards.

your problem probably is the patching process which is done at the start of the client.
unfortunately for you, ggg patches very often (every 2 weeks) which results in around 30 to 100 MByte on average.

the data transferred for playing the game should be as minimal as stated by posters in this thread. if not less cause i remember to have read somewhere that ggg further reduced data transmission rates.
age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
If you can find a way to get a current copy of the Content.ggpk file before you patch, it will save a lot of the download. You could get that file from someone else who has already patched and copy it to your account.
Though this thread is pretty old, i faced this problem today since my work's WiFi is awful at best.

So, havin some spare time, I spend almost 2h playing PoE via WiFi Hotspot of my phone and it used about 32MB.
