minus-squareChuckEffingNorris@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoI watched a couple Of live streams showing a graph for bandwidth as they flew. It tended to spike to around 180 MB a second when whole new areas were loading but during flight it was much much lower at around 10 to 15 MB per second.
