About Brian Jay
Expertise
I'm moving into answering questions relating to the Xbox 360 and related games. I can still answer questions on previous topics (Gamecube/GBA stuff) but please note I will not be able to help at a full capacity. As always, if I dont know the answer I'll do my best to search for it or point you to the best possible alternative for getting an answer (Updated 31/08/06 and about time too).

Experience
I've been a gamer for pretty much the last 14/15 years, so I feel I know my fair share about the subject. I spent the early years with Nintendo, the mid years with both Sony and Nintendo and I'm now just enjoying my Xbox 360, so I have experience with all three groups. I'm not much of a technical buff, but just like before if I cant answer a technical question personally I'll do my best to search for it or point you out to the next best source (Updated 31/08/06)

Question
I'm looking for a broadband plan, but don't know how much usuage i need. I live in Australia. Please help choose the best plan for me.

I was thinking of getting the 5GB or 7GB usage combine with my home phone or maybe just alone.

I mainly use the internet for downloading trailers, vidoes, demo, firmware and software upgrade and online gaming.The days i can use the internet are only friday, saturday and sunday.

1. How much data usgage would i need?

a. playing games like:Halo 3, Gears of War and Gears of War 2, GTA IV, Rainbow 6 Las Vegas 2

Answer
Hi Wayne

I wont actually answer this question, because there is a tool offered by bigpond that gives a real good estimate as to what your usage would be. It can be found here:

http://bigpond.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/bigpond.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=...

It usually is on the money with an estimate, but based on how plans charge for usage its best to aim higher.

The only two things to remember is that while hosting games, your going to be spending more of your usage, and that some plans also include upload limit (including bigpond) in their usage counts, so check for that.

I hope this helps, and any questions feel free to ask.

Brian
