This is not about downloading the software.  This is about actually using the software as it is intended.

Criteria:

1.  Not using PilotEdge or any directly interactive service.

2.  Not using any real-world EFBs except perhaps VFRmap.com's various maps and SkyVector for approach plates.

3.  Not downloading any extra scenery or plugins.  Assume the app is stable and complete as I need it to be on my machine.

So, any guess as to how much data XP 10.51 and XP 11 require or just plain use?  

We are moving from a Comcast-serviced area (150MB/sec+ DL speeds) to a rural area where the "biggest" supplier, a very poor-quality and notorious company, brags about offering 7 MB/S "broadband".  Ouch.  So we may invest in a mega-gigabyte 4G/LTE data plan.  (My teenage son games interactively a lot, too, and he will have to be rationed. Oh boy.)

Thanks.

Very little... even if you're downloading real-time weather.
