What kind of traffic does your average online game consume?

Chris Thompson from Xtra told me they were getting around 7-10 MB an hour,
while Microsoft's Xbox folk claim about 10-15 MB (if I recall correctly)...

I only once forgot to switch to the JSG realm before joining a server for a
game - you don't do that two months in a row.

BF1942 running at 40-70MB/hour would chew through the "average user"'s 500
MB rather quickly I would think.
