Can someone from Zenimax tell us how much Data usage Stadia with Elder Scrolls Online uses up?

Because I didn't know about the Cap thing or didn't consider the Massive Data usage from the Service.
I'm using Centracom internet it seems like it says no Data Cap on it but at the same time.. I don't know on this.
I would like to know how much data per hour this service on average for 1080p. Can we get that Information?
Because I do like the service because it allows me to play faster and better compared to before. Even my Load Screens are so much faster as well.
Now I don't want to raise my families internet bill with this.

This is the type of internet I use and I believe mines the 35 dollar one https://centracom.com/internet
Now from what I can tell I don't have a data cap but I want to be extra careful on this one.
So if we can get any information on how much Data Google Stadia Eso uses up would be most appreciated.

    Honestly you should be fine in the bill department. You're streaming an entire game though so its gonna be a lot of data. You shouldnt get any new fees or anything bc you have no cap on data usage.
    It will however eat up all your bandwidth and the rest of your family will notice if they use it a lot.

    Luckily for me I'm the only one that really uses the internet at my home wit hmy folks who are not internet using people it yeah I do want to be careful at least on this because I don't know about sudden increases in internet provider costs.
    I think the internet is at least costing 40 something dollars now already. But I don't know if that is for the whole or just us. So that is why I'm cautious about this.

    From what i could find on it:
    Looks like running at max settings is about 15.75GB/hr.
    Min rec quality is 4.5gb/hr.

    Also, be aware if your ISP has a 'fair use' policy. Some ISP's will throttle your connection at peak times if you are a particularly heavy user.
    So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.

    @Thevampirenight - The Data usage numbers I posted in the thread I created were taken directly from the settings options in Stadia. Stadia will automatically set your game to use the best settings for what you are playing on which in my case is a 1080p HDTV going through my PC. The 1080p option says that it uses 12GB of Data per hour. I can turn it down to the minimum of 720p which only uses 4.5GB of Data per hour however 720p for this game on a TV that does 1080p looks pretty blurry so I kept it on the 1080p option. The top service is for those that have 4K technology and that is the 15.75GB per hour. That is not an option for me as I don't have 4K equipment.

    I see thank you.

    I tried locating the fair use if there was one and there doesn't look to be one for my ISP.
    I think the smart thing to do is only using Stadia when it comes to needing more performance. Such as Harrowstorms and maybe some types of pvp. Also limiting when using it. So that is something I might do with it.
    Using it on a needed basis.
