How much data does tethering LTE use to play Xbox?

[voicelessAmbassador727]

Tethering doesn *not* use that much bandwidth when surfing the web like a normal internet browser would do. Reading email and Facebook and such.

Gaming however, uses a BOATLOAD of bandwidth. If you have an "unlimited bandwidth account" then this is no problem. If you aren't sure, you should call your cell company and ask them how much bandwidth your account has per month.

Tethering use to be free, Now most carriers list it as an "add on" to a phone account. Meaning, you pay extra for that privilege.

MMO's tend to use more bandwidth than console games like CoD. However, CoD uses around 12MB for each round of game play. It really depends on your game settings in many cases. Drop the quality and drop the bandwidth.

Basically, if you have say a 60Gig per month plan you are fine. If you have a 5Gig tethering plan you are toast -
