Anyone know how much bandwidth a good full game uses up? I know a game on vanilla was about 20 megs. Long story short if you get your internet up with Telstra you vBF2 takes up no bandwidth, is that also present here?

80 Kbit/sec for updates from the server
32 kbit/sec for VoIP Stream
--------------------------------
112 kbit/sec downstream (peak)

The upstream is far less

60 byte packets
20 times a second
------------------------------
9.6 Kbit/sec upstream

Actions make larger packets:
109 byte packets
20 times a second
-------------------------------
17.4 Kbit/sec upstream (peak)

Well within the limit of pretty much every broadband connection I am aware of =)

Are you trying to figure out "cumulative" bandwidth for a session?
