Overwatch using 2MBps!?

[ArmswieldTheHero]

Why is overwatch using 2MBps, I'm on limited phone data so I have to watch what I use and The Elder Scrolls Online only uses like 5 KBps, any clue why overwatch uses so much and maybe how to fix it?

You're playing an online game.. seems completely normal. what's not normal is that second game you're playing online. You must be having desync issues or perhaps its not even 'online' anymore.

MMO's tend to be a lot lighter on the upload/download speeds than FPS's like Overwatch.

Hell, in the time it takes to boot Overwatch on my PS4 (over Ethernet) whilst I'm on Skype on my PC (PS3/PS4 sitting way back behind monitor stand, TV for them is top-centre on the stand) I can often boot into WoW and empty my mail or chuck stuff on the AH before swapping my attention back to the PS4. That's on 8000kbps down/384kbps up ADSL 1...

Actually it plays extremely smoothly and is definitely online.

Yes but 2MBps is NOT normal for a game, games often use between 5 and 20 KBPS, because all they do is relay coordinates and actions, lots of tiny packets. Overwatch used to use 20 KBps on my internet so I know that its not normal. BF4 uses 30
