:P if u mean the one i made in the live forums thats specificly asking about xbox live with regards to how much it would transfer roughly.. aimed with regards to caps...

where as this one i just wanted to know which used more bandwith for of gaming or p2p and by gaming i mean any modern online game here..

after all p2p could theroticly be filterd by the isp and theyd prob get away with it becuase most of the traffic on p2p is illigeal (im in no way suggesting they do)

where as if they blocked the online gaming there would be absolutre uproar and as online gaming is legal they cant really get away with it as easiy...

Edit:

if a mod thinks they are to simular feel free to close this thread.... i was just slightly bored and wanted to know....
