DDO Bandwith usage?

[RioRussell]

Does anyone know what the bandwidth usage is for DDO? I have been looking into 4g mobile hotspot plans but most of them are a fixed bandwith i.e. you get 5 gig per month and pay after that. It would seem with a 'constant-on' app like DDO I could get through 5g in no time at all, but has anyone out there ever measured exactly how much download bandwith the game takes up?

I use my 3G phone to play during lunch, and off the top of my head I'd say it goes something like this.

5MB - getting the latest opening screens in all the available languages.
5MB/hour download.
<1.5 MB/hour upload.

I'm thinking about reserving another room for this afternoon - a meeting with my manager interrupted my 13th Level process - still have some AP to spend, and get some more raid gear out of the TR bank.

I'll update this post with the numbers this afternoon.

Yes, I'm very grateful that I got grandfathered with an unlimited data plan

Edit:

Before starting DDO: 0kb Up/0 kb Down
Getting to login: 16k Up/542 Kb Down
Character Selection: 20k Up/ 592 kb Down
Character standing in House K: 95 kb Up/ 2.31 Mb Down
13 minutes of gear swapping: 160 kb Up/ 4.56 Mb Down
Switched to a different character: 182 kb Up/ 5.21 Mb Down
25 minutes of playing: 202 Kb Up/ 10.7 Mb Down
