    Default is 250GB enough to cam? camming with limited internet help...desperate!

    hi everyone

    Im in abit of a dillemma, I currently live in the USA but im moving to Canada in a few weeks. While im in canada ill be staying with a friend for 2-3weeks while I look for a place on my own to move into. During that time im staying with my friend ill need to work on camand keep up my camscore while my friend is at work (I work just on MFC Fulltime).

    My friend has 250GB a month of internet and im scared im going to go over that amount alot if I Cam at her place (Of course ide pay if I go over the amount but im not sure if 250GB is a very little amount or not) She uses the internet frequently and I use the internet ALOT to stream.

    is 250GB alot if your streaming on cam alot as well as just using internet in general besides that? Im really lost on what i Can do to keep camming if thats not enough data for me to keep working before I find my own place without going over a ton (Because Canada is expensiiiiveeeee)

    Isnt there something you can buy and plug into your computer to give you unlimited wifi? I feel like thats something I would need and Ive always wondered how camgirls go out in public to the park or whatever camming.

    Anyways, any suggestions or advice on this would be great....I cant go without camming for a few weeks thats not an option for me...

    I searched and found the following in this Data Use While Camming From Mobile Hotspot:

The lowest functional settings I've found on the encoder end up using 256 kbps and there are 1,000,000 kilobytes in a gigabyte. Whether your phone/the hotspot can support 256 kbps upload is another question, but I'll assume that it can.

    5,000,000 / 256 = ~19,531 seconds = ~325 minutes = ~5.42 hours. Of course, you're going to need to use some of that for other things (loading SM, receiving data from the chat, etc) so with the absolute minimum encoder settings and no other data usage (not visiting any other sites, using cam2cam, etc) 5 gigs should last you about 5 hours.

    PS: Omg you're moving to Canada? That's bomb. How did you manage that? Did you get a visa? I'm nosey because I want to move there too. PM me!


    Oh forgot to do the math for you:
    250,000,000/25= ~976562 seconds= ~16276 minutes= ~271 hours a month or basically a little over 9 and a half hours a day if you cam everyday in a four week period.

    Well it really a matter of your upload speed not so much your data cap. it sounds like 250 gig is your plans data cap.

    I have 150 download and 15 upload and my cap is 150 from teksavvy. I use about half of that in a month if I do happen to go over 3 months in a row then I will switch it to their 10 upload package IC an't remember the download that goes with that package but it would be unlimited cap.

    I cammed easily on 150GB a month with my boyfriend living with me as well. You should be fine as far as usage goes. We streamed a lot of video and music and did a lot of online gaming on top of me camming. We only got close to the cap once. I used to monitor how much data camming uses and it's a really small amount compared to using Netflix or something.
