Now me and my bother game almost everyday for about 6 hours a day
He only plays source games really and bfho ( I don't know if this s useful )

How do i find out how much bandwidth we are using on the whole network without having to install some tool to every PC ?

And as for as my server how much bandwidth does 9 slots take up?

What can i do for server rates to Lower how much traffic it use's per moth

a 12 slot server running full at a rate of 30000 will pull about 300GB of data transfer.

Drop your rate low, such as 15000 or 10000 but don't expect good gameplay.

Talk to Comcast. They are SLOWLY rolling out a bandwidth meter. See when it's in your area.

I didn't know Comcast charges for bandwidth over-usage... For normal users they just steal their money and disconnect them.

Keep in mind that number is if its full 24/7. If you have 12 players on for six hours per day, you shouldn't even go over 200GB (But I haven't done the math to confirm this.)
