How much data is it for 3G Mobile Broadband?
Online gaming = 5 MB/hr

How much data is it for 4G Mobile Broadband?
Online gaming = 5 MB/hr


Online you'll find people saying WoW uses 20 MB/hr and Battlefield 3 uses 60 MB/hr. Those games use more bandwidth, and if you actually care about the exact amount of bandwidth you're best off actually measuring it:

You cant call a specific value for that because it depends on many factors. Server, player amount, scripts and files you have to download when you join a server. Everything will cause a different datatraffic... but playing on a standard server without any special shit for 5hours should only trade 5mb or even less.

/edit: also check user Alistaires reply, those are average calculations.
