IRL - EQ 6-box Bandwidth Usage

[PallyDPS]

Hopefully this will be useful for those of you doing some summer travel. I brought my gaming laptop along for a family vacation in North Myrtle Beach. It poured rain most of the day and I decided to get some 6-boxing EQ action in while everyone else went shopping. This place is nice but the Wifi connection is absolute garbage. I decided to see if I could run everything off of a mobile hotspot from the balcony. I was pleasantly surprised to see that 6 boxing with RG was still pretty light on bandwidth. Although I did have a couple disconnections, mainly while zoning, I found it perfectly playable.

Thanks again to the RG community for making boxing fun! Photo below with overlying screenshot of approximately 6 hours of data usage today (166MB using iphone 12 pro max as hotspot over Verizon).

Thats a nice view, congrats. Next time, play down by or in the pool so the pics show some ..ahem.. Siren Enticers

Definitely not getting sand in my new gaming laptop . With that said the weather is nice so enjoying the weather while gaming in the times when I am not enjoying the beach/pool with friends and family.

Data usage is still great at 466MB over the past 4 days with the 6 box. I don’t have any good pics of Siren Enticers for ya Redfrog but here’s the current view. The pool is an absolute zoo today so spending time on the beach with a rum runner in hand

I use netlimiter to track b/w on my PCs and 4 groups use about 26kb/s download and 2kb/s upload.

@PallyDPS Did you forget to use a Faerune enabled camera? I looked at it and saw these nice looking beachgoers, and I photobombed you with my with my wife in the back.

@Redfrog Looks like I need to buy a faerune enabled camera today! . This has turned into the best thread now.
