But still, its almost 2GB for a single hour a day, or 12$ for an hour a day.
Just for playing a game, that you've already bought and own. Not to mention a game like asherons call, that you have to pay monthly for in the first place.
Playing left 4 dead on xbox 360 for one minute online results in about 1 megabyte of data transfer for that minute.
1 * 60 = 60 MB for 1 hour.
4 hours a day = about 1 GB
so at 30$ a month, I can play my xbox online for 20 hours, or 5 days at 4 hours a day... Not to mention thats no web surfing, email, etc. This is for the entire month.
Not to mention those autoplay video advertisements. Youtube videos are highly compressed but still megabytes in size.
Could you imagine trying to use windows update, SP3 took over a gigabyte of downloads. The new debian linux is 25GB for the entire thing, true you can get by on 4GB or so...

Not counting anything else, but those games.
