up- and download

Ok! So here we go: In Belgium Belgium we have some sort of limit on your internetuse, aka datelimit. It's not the same for everyone though!

Some people can use 15 GB/month, me for example can only use 10GB/month and I know some lucky people who can even spend 30 GB/month...

The lucky Netherlands Dutchies don't even have a limit or what so ever.

In Belgium we have 2 big providers. On the one hand TELENET, on the other hand we have BELGACOM ADSL. Telenet-users can spend 12 Giga I guess. But I have ADSL, only 10 Giga(my dad works at Belgacom, so switching over to Telenet is not an option).

Me, as ADSL-user, can spend the 10 Giga however I want to. E.g: 9 GB upload, 1GB download. Telenet-users have to do it 50-50 I guess. There are several options though. ADSL-users can also take some sort of connection where they download much faster and have 15 MB for example, but my dad doesn't want to take a bigger connection.

So now we come to the actual use of this journal. How can I make sure I up/download less?

- By changing my rate or any other settings? oO
- Any magical programs?
- ...

This datelimit is pretty annoying. When you use more then the subscribed 10 Gigabytes it resolves into a hyper_nervewrecking_internet_connection.

And: How many up-and download does ET uses?
sNoOp once told me that 1h of ET takes 500 MB or smth. But I'd like to know the exact number of MB 1h of ET would take.

Thanks in advance and have a good night!

**[[EDIT]]** : ANSWER THIS QUESTION: How many up-and download does one hour of ET uses?????????????

well, i suppose the only thing you can do is switching around witth rate and maxpackets. :|

And what about the rate and maxpackets?

jetro doe je morge mee 1 day cup?
i bet netlimiter is the prog u wanna hear :e
I can download 30 GB/month. You can do that as well, just upgrade your "abbonement".

Ofcourse you'll have to pay more, but it's that or your 10GB...
My dad does NOT wanna change the connection, in other words: 10 GB - that's it!

I just wanna know how many up/download ET takes :(

changing rate/maxpackets is a retarded option.
Who cares how much upload, its not really limited, im sure only the download is.

As for which country is better,

9Mbps / 1Mbps - no datalimit - 20 euro/month - low pings - 24/7 hotline service

greets from Poland.
Its download and upload, 100% sure, why makes you think its only download? Do you live in Belgium? Do you have Belgacom adsl as provider? :P

jammer :p rofl at name :<
Parent
poor you. At first I had ADSL 3,5 GB / month and I always made ~7GB which almost doubled the bill.... (I played on 7k rate + 30 packets and nobody care since there wasn't /players cmd available yet )

Make rate + cl_maxpackets as low as the configs allow you and don't mind the whine from lamers.

If you want to measure how much data ET takes, simply download any prog like DUmeter, or netlimiter has nice stats too and you will know the exact numbers.
you must be an angel straight out of heaven :p

finally i got the answer :p
Parent
yeah it piss me off pretty much too, i have 15 gb / month and it s fucking not enough, it s totaly anoying and i think if any isp in belgium provide good inet without quota, they will have over 60.000 customers after day 1.
why is there a limit like this in place?

even iceland has unlimited dl

and we have to lay a fricking sealink
25000 bytes/s
24.4140625 kb/s
x60 = 1464.84375 kb/minute
x60 = 87890.625 kb/hour
85.8306884765625 mb/hour
x24 = 2059.9365234375 mb/day
2.01165676116943 gb/day
10gb = 4.9710269629629718435177837381338 days playing
or 119.30464711111132424442680971521 hours

But take into account the fact that 25000 rate is the MAX you can use and you won't reach that amount unless you're on a 64man pub with lots of spam and stuff going on and you can add a day easily which means you should get something like 145hours playing time a month minimum before you hit your cap, you can probably stetch to more than 200 hours if you're not downloading big files regularly.

Lets assume you spend half your time sleeping/going out/doing stuff offline that leaves 360 spare hours in a month, if youre spending 180 hours playing a month, you're no life enough to ask your dad to get a bw upgrade from the company he works for tbh.
so what you're saying is...?
Parent
here are some real stats from ~20 slot pub + some wars
http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=datajd8.jpg

so with rate 25000 + 100 maxpackets the max is around 30MB/hour

ye too bad i am from the south part ;)
Parent
Even morocco wich is not so new @ ADSL technologies doesn't have these quotas
in germany there is sometimes a limit, sometimes not, but i think the custom can decide if he wants a limit or not

better you move to DEUTSCHLAND

GermanyDEUTSCHLAND > BelgiumYOU JETRO! HAHA 8D

klar ja... hurensohn
Parent
lol i understood xD
have I great skills in guessing the meaning of dutch and german or its just big simplicity and expresness some guys write in those languages from time to time.

btw i have limits too, but i didnt know that games count to this limit. Some time ago i played very very much and i had smaller limit but I've never crossed the limit anyways, always: 1 GB, 2 GB, the size of my in-windows downloading. So are you sure its because of ET?
Parent
There is a prog to set how much you can afford to upload/download, and you can set at which "states" it warns you about how much you've uploaded/downloaded. Like if you set 10 gb limit and make sure it whines at 2 4 and 8 gigs, it will do so. GOOGLE IT.
if you could give me the name that would be very nice

you google it please :(

BE MY SLAVE
Parent
and what would you do if the limit hit in the middle of IPS match?
Parent
Well, thats what the warnings are for, i wouldnt browse net for example, use vent only when match begins and so on. So i can actually play the match, thank god our adsl provider doesnt have limits.

just buy a 100km kabel and put it holland and other side in ur pc
cl_packetduplication "0"
cl_maxpackets "40" or whatever CB allows
ET uses around 1gb a month including upload.

an hour around 13 down and 7 up
I don't have limits <3!
Je kan beter de goedkoopste abbo nemen met de hoogste aantal GB , En dan gewoon de heletijd volumes kopen :S
Belgie moet eens wakker worden FAIR USE POLICY
ik ben ook van België en ik zit bij Dommel.
Sneller dan ADSL en 50 gig/maand.
En goedkoper.
Heb nu al 4 maand en nog geen enkele keer downtime ofzo.
De overstap van ADSL naar Dommel is bij mij in 1 dag gebeurd.
Ik betaal per maand 34 euro.
En vollenbak downloaden! Upload en download zijn niet gescheiden.

men pa werkt bij belgacom, dus overschakelen naar een andere provider is geen optie :(
Parent
JETRO ga je pa slaan! en zeg dat hij een andere connectie moet kopen
hij moet niet zoveel "zagen"
Hij betaalt nu 10 euro voor 10 gigabyte, maar wil absoluut geen andere connectie :(

en als ik over men 10 giga ga heb ik traag internet en dan lacht hij me uit :(
Parent
