Online poker - data usage?

[Luthee13]

Just a quick query, I have a dongle with 3 mobile and have noticed that it seems to be using a lot of data when I"m playing poker.

I have deleted and closed some programmes and jigged things around and it seems to have made the situation a little better.

Does anyone know roughly how much data poker "should" be using? So I know what I"m aiming for?

Thank you in advance

I seem to remember seeing somewhere, I can"t find the source, that Pokerstars uses about 10KB per table per minute. So a standard 3 dongle should be plenty for Poker (is it one of the pay as you go ones or on contract), I use my 3 phone as a backup connection and to play when away from home and it works fine never have issues with data useage.

If my figures are correct you would get about 850 hours of one tabling per GB of data used.

This thread might hep a bit as well

Thank you for the reply rodders.
Ok, that"s worrying...it was using 5mb every min for one table on poker.co.uk an now is using 2mb per minute for the same, i thought i"d done well to get to that...maybe not if what you"re saying is correct. Sigh

Have you turned off all porn websites?

Have you turned off all porn websites?

Why on earth would you do that?

I play iPoker and Pokerstars regularly on a 3g dongle, and the usage is hardly noticeable.   Lucy - if your finding poker.co.uk to be hungry, can you play a session on a different site to make a comparison?
