Tekkit via 3G

[Real Darnok]

I'm not sure what kind of speed does it need.

Perhaps you guys have tried it before?

Unless you have a truly unlimited connection (not likely) you will DEVOUR your monthly allotment over 3G/4G if you play something like Tekkit. It is not uncommon to push over 100K/sec (a megabit) to clients and can go up from there. That can easily exceed 300 megabytes/hour.

that's a shame.. I will have to stay for a night in a place that is EXTREMELY boring and although it has internet connection the asshole who lives there does not allow anyone to use it, the funny thing is that he invited me for the weekend..

perhaps there is a way to drop this usage down? Less often update the server?

I find playing vanilla minecraft to be about 10-20kb/s, haven't tested tekkit myself, but 100kb/s seems a little high.

100Kb is not a Megabyte or a Megabit

1024Kb is a Megabyte

100Kb is not a Megabyte or a Megabit

Let's just throw "-ish" on the end of all those numbers and and it's within enough of a ballpark to make a rational decision. No, 100K/sec is not "exactly" a megabit connection... but it's close-ish.
