Bandwidth Usage Information

This information is intended to help users and their ISPs predict bandwidth usage for EverQuest for the Macintosh playtime. In some situations, ISPs might impose bandwidth limitations or may charge for bandwidth when a monthly/weekly threshold has been exceeded.

This information is based on averages and approximations as of October, 2001. It is important to note that there are no bandwidth limitations imposed on EverQuest for the Macintosh, and that these numbers may increase without notice. Sony Online Entertainment, Inc. will not be responsible for any bandwidth charges incurred as a result of game play.
