I doubt it. Online gaming does not require the use of a lot of bandwidth to do so. Of course, if you leave it running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you might run into an issue, but I've never seen anyone go over their limit because of playing WoW.

Yeah definitely not, even running 24/7 WoW shouldn't even approach 10 gb. Just depends on how much streaming and downloading you are doing outside of that though... have you ever been close or broken your limit before with other activities?

The only way to go over 60gb is to upload non stop with bit torrent or something like that. I am on youtube, streaming itunes, xbox live and mmorpg games non stop every month and I only use a small fraction of my bandwidth. :smileyhappy:

 

Your ISP will also notify you with a warning on your monthly bill the first time you go over.

I host an online game server and play others online a fair bit, I tend to use between 40GB and 60GB per month. You should be safe. :smileywink:
