How Much Internet Data Does VRChat Use? Check Your Data Usage to Avoid Extra Charges

Well, let me tell you, that VR thing, VRChat, it sure eats up a lot of that internet stuff. How much? Let me break it down for ya, plain and simple.

I heard them young folks talkin’, sayin’ this VRChat uses somethin’ called “data.” Lots of it. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I know when somethin’s gobblin’ up your resources like a hungry pig at a trough. They say it uses about 2.5 GB of data every hour. You heard that right! Every single hour!

Now, what’s a GB? Well, it’s a whole heap of that internet stuff. Think of it like this, if your internet was a big ol’ bucket of water, a GB is like a whole ladle full. And this VRChat is dippin’ into that bucket every hour, takin’ out 2.5 ladles full.

And some folks, they use this thing all the time. I heard some use it so much, they use up 10-20 GB every month. That’s like 10 to 20 of them big ol’ ladles! That’s a lot of internet, I tell ya. More than I’d ever need. I mean, back in my day, if I wanted to see my friends, I just walked on over to their house.

So, what makes it use so much? Well, there’s this thing called “bandwidth.” It’s like how fast your internet is. If your internet is slow, like an old mule, it takes more effort to do things, and that uses up more data. So, fast internet is important. And not that newfangled wireless stuff, you need that ethernet. Hardwired, like the good lord intended. Better to have that than a cellphone hotspot, you just can’t get good internet from that.

They also got these things called “avatars.” They’re like little pretend people you see in that VRChat world. And some of ’em are real fancy, with all sorts of details. The fancier they are, the more data they use. Some smart folks figured out how to make ’em use less data, though. They said you can limit them to 15mb max. Means you won’t see all them fancy details, but it sure saves on that internet juice.

There is also this thing called “cache”. It is like a memory of the computer. If you use too many memory, it will make your computer slow and use more data. So, it is important to clear your cache.

Here’s a few other things I heard that can help you keep that data usage down:

• Don’t let them apps run wild in the background. Shut ’em down when you ain’t usin’ ’em.
• Only let your phone update them apps when you got that Wi-Fi.
• If you’re out and about, find some free Wi-Fi. There’s a lot of coffee shops and restaurants that got it these days.
• Don’t be watchin’ them videos all the time. Listen to the radio instead.
• If you got movies or music you like, download ’em beforehand. That way, you ain’t usin’ up data to watch ’em later.

And if you want to run vrchat, you need at least 25 megabit for your internet speed. The more the better they say. Also, that 360-degree video, it is a monster for data. It will use up to 400Mbps for that HD video. Don’t know what that means, but it sure sounds like a lot.

Now, some folks say you need a good internet provider. They call ’em “ISPs.” I don’t know much about that, but I reckon if you’re gonna be usin’ this VRChat a lot, you best find yourself a good one. Especially if you live in a place like LA.

Anyway, that’s about all I know about this VRChat and how much internet it uses. It’s a lot, that’s for sure. More than a body needs, if you ask me. But these young folks and their newfangled technology, they like their gadgets and gizmos. Just remember to keep an eye on that data usage, or you might end up with a big ol’ internet bill at the end of the month! And nobody wants that, especially not this old gal.

So, there you have it. Hope that helps ya understand this whole VRChat data thing a little better. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some chores to do. And none of ’em involve that internet contraption!
