How much memory does it take to load a video on the internet?

Question by Joshua: How much memory does it take to load a video on the internet?
Just recently I switched my internet provider and every month I get 90 gigs to use so I want to know how much memory it takes to watch videos. I`m into anime so if you know how much a 24 minute long video would take out of my memory then please tell me. Thanks in advance.

well, they don’t watch your computer, they watch how much you’re downloading and uploading in general to the internet. So in this case, you can’t download and upload more than 90GB, which is a lot, to be honest (for me anyways). I think every anime episode, for me, is around 200MB…So how many anime videos is that, on average? Doing calculations is about 460 episodes.

edit: how am I completely wrong? The provider says “every months = 90GB” that means they’re limiting the bandwidth. So I am NOT wrong. You can only download/upload a total of 90GB. They’re not going to stalk your computer and say “ok, the user just installed a game from the store which was 5GB, add it up!”. And this whole thing has nothing to do with memory, but hard disk space. Memory is referred to RAM, and I don’t think that he is going to have 100 videos playing all at once.

  1. ^ your completely wrong, each video uses the amount of space it takes.

    Memory is different from load times, it also depends on the quality, a 24min episode of Shakugan No shana would be about 120+mb so I suggest getting an Unlimited plan if your a heavy video user.

  2. You should be ok, to top that you need to watch about 20 day sof video straight 24/7
