Thread: Tell me if xbox live takes up broadband downloads...

Hey, just a quick question as my family have chosen to get limited broadband instead of unlimited... dont ask me why lol.

Does xbox live (i.e. the multiplayer aspect of it) take up any of the GB's of internet downloads. I know things like youtube does but im not sure about other things...

cheers

yes

It takes up a lot of your internet.

You really can only do one or the other at a time.

Of course it does, that's logic.

Everything does. And especially Xbox live.

When you talk of limited broadband, you mean you are limited in bandwidth usage per month. Everything that needs an internet connection uses bandwidth, in varying amounts. AIM, Limewire, browsing websites, etc.. Streaming or downloading video uses more than most anything else, practically. Playing a multiplayer video game over Xbox Live uses a pretty hefty amount of bandwidth.

If you are limited to a number of GBs of bandwidth per month with your internet service, then you should probably forget about Xbox Live. It's going to eat that bandwidth right up.
