How much data does Xbox Live use per hour?
- Jan 25, 2013 6:42 pm GMTALL I play online is Call of Duty Black Ops 2, and i'll play the Team Deathmatch games so it's around 12 players. I'll play 2-3 hours a day, maybe 4. I have the 3G/4G US Cellular Wifi Hotspot with 5GB of data per month. If I run over that data, my mom will kill me. So I need to know a 100% accurate answer of how much data I'd use an HOUR

30-40MB per hour. So estimate 50-100mb an hour to be safe.
1000Mb to 1GB roughly.
Also you should have a way to check your usage? So you know where you are at.

Do NOT try to play XBL on a wi-fi hotspot. Trust me. I used to sell those things and I would caution every customer to not attempt to use it to play online games or use streaming services.
Assume that Koolyoe above is correct, and we should estimate it takes 100mb an hour to play. If you play for 4 hours a day, that means you will use your ENTIRE data plan in only 12.5 days. And that's if you use your hotspot for nothing but XBL. If you're going online or doing anything else, you could expect to be out of data every month in as little as 8-10 days.
It's just not worth it. I understand it sucks if it's your only option, but I still wouldn't do it. It's just not a smart usage of the technology.
