Gents please tell me how much bandwidth BF2 uses, cause i have lately noticed that my cap seems to be running down reasonably fast for some odd reason and has so only started after starting BF2 in the start of the month.

it chewing like 150megs for like 4 to 5 hours of gameplay, either that or some has haxed my account!

dude go and look up routesentry on this forum

bf 2 chomps like 50 meg an hour

you could get a local account run routesentry and it would work out alot of cheaper

Routesentry does not work with Vista right?

Yes BF2 is a real BW eater. As killadoob suggested go and get routesentry along with raspppoe protocol. This way you can run an INT and a LOCAL connection similtaneaosly and when you browse local sites or play local games it only takes from your LOCAL conn being so much cheaper.

BF2 requires an INT connection to authorise your account but if you play on SGS servers it will only require LOCAL thereafter, so you save lots of bucks with RouteSentry this way.

afaik routesentry does work in VISTA but raspppoe does not making the whole thing pointless. I could be wrong about this, but if not maybe there is an alternative to raspppoe for VISTA?

Would love to get Routesentry to work with Vista as I play alot of online games and it's costing me a pretty penny.

I split my Int and local with a Linksys WRT54gl its explained in one of the threads somewhere.

So if you really want to split int and local on Vista just go buy one. They sell for about R550

if u use Vista u dont need raspppoe as Vista can create the connections by itself no problem. however it seems the Vista version of RouteSentry is not available for download at the moment?
