The Nfusion IKS uses 60 bytes every 20 seconds to function.
1024 bytes = 1KB (kilobyte)
1024 KB = 1MB (megabyte)
So, at this rate the IKS uses approx. 10.5kb per hour or 253 kb over a 24hr period.
To illustrate, if you were to leave your television on 24/7 for 30 days it would use 7593 kb or 7.4 MB over that entire span of 720 hrs that your TV and IKS was on.
As such, based on simple math, it is highly unlikely that you will ever go over any bandwidth limit set by your ISP, (Internet Service Provider) because you have an nFusion unit. |

hi..sorry for the delay,i'm at work...he said that i'd be better off with a stick and a cradlepoint router than with a rodgers rocket hub and he told me how much data the nfusion needs per hour...any idea about the 2g instead of 3g problem? |

It does not matter if you are 2G or 3G as long as you have a good constant signal (NO FADING AT NIGHT). If it fades you can try having them change your roaming area number
if this fails you will need a booster. If you buy a cradle point I highly suggest the MBR-1000 as I know it works and have had some problems with the cheaper models. Your Phoenix will use an average of approx. 488mbs. per month.
Hope I helped. Make sure you read the contract good and see what your overage charge is, make sure you stay away from any plan that wants to charge you by the kb for overage. The reason I say this is because you will be surprised how much your computer uses up just updating windows.

The cradlepoint MBR 1100 is a much better, newer model which is now available. The MBR 1200 is not on the market but should be soon so you may want to go to cradlepoint.com and check out their makes and models before buying one. |

I spoke with my budy and he was saying that he tested a Phoenix and it used like 2 or 300 MB in the 6 or 7 hours he used it that seems like alot anyway to cut that down? |

Your friend is mistaken Grim
The Nfusion IKS uses 60 bytes every 20 seconds to function.
1024 bytes = 1KB (kilobyte)
1024 KB = 1MB (megabyte)
so at this rate the IKS uses 10.5kb per hour or 253 kb over a 24hr span,
if you left your tv on 24/7 for 30 days it would use 7593 kb or 7.4 MB over that entire span of 720 hrs that your TV and IKS was on.
I highly doubt that anyone leaves there TV on that long or will they go over any bandwidth limit set by your ISP |
