When On The Internet, Does The Radar Box Download Alot Of Stuff?

[Johnn]

Hello,
Why I ask this question is because I would like internet access outside, and the mobile broadband services have all this 1gb - 3gb allowance thing, will the Rb take up all this quickly?
Hope that maks a bit of sence.
Thanks John

With the current levels of network activity (>1000 aircraft), RB now averages around 420,000 B/min (in Windows performance monitor), which works out at around 18GB per month, if I left it running all the time.

I have the 3Gb limit on the radio Broadband, and have NOT yet exceeded 2Gb a month.
I do NOT usually have Process Network Flights enabled, so :-
Upload is ON,    Info Requests are on - 1 picture ONLY per Aircraft.
Actual daily figures don't seem to be available, but the software I use - from VodaPhone - gives a running figure of traffic for the session, and in another view Total traffic for the month.

There are probably many packages you can employ to monitor your web usage.

Here is a freeware one
