how much data usage for text streaming of a futbol match

[rotsen]

I saaw the answer for a radio streaming here:http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/28652-42-listen-hour-radio-show-internet

But how much data usage does it take when you are looking at a 2 hour text stream of a futbol match?

Thanks

Again you need to READ the article. It all depends on the quality of the signal being broad cast show how many bits per second then multiply for minutes then times the number of hours will give you the answer. Otherwords: DO THE MATH.

thanks for your reply. I do not mind doing the math but on a text stream, I did not know that there was a signal quality to consider and since there is always polling to see if there is new text, how do you account for that?

Remember I am not talking about audio or video just plane text.

Thanks again,

Uhmm...Okay I thought you mistyped... Text stream is still negligible at best. Your going to be (if ONLY text) barely get over 10MB of data honestly. Unless your on a DialUp Modem or charged via CellPhone MB charges, there is NEVER a concern about text only transmissions for computers.
