I know EQ website had that answer (they still might) that offer an average bandwidth speed for an EQ gaming app.
Internets helps!

27 hours of EQ, Web serfing ran me about 117MB max .. but am a healthy browser, so might be a tad inflated.

I spent 6 hours online from a boot up and played a progression mission with chitiwok and did my normal daily browsing of the guild site, email, and a couple others. Some of that 6 hours was sitting in the guild hall and I think I clocked about 336mb total recieved. Sent usually seems to be some where around a 9th or 10th of that. I dont send too much out I guesses. Your probably going to be ok as long as your not watching a ton of youtube videos and running file downloads all day.

This game can still run fair on a dial but not super smoothly. I think you'll be ok unless you decide to look at a lot of porn or youtube videos or something. =p If your just staying on EQ you'll probably be fine. I cant imagine a dialup connection giving you a whole lot of data recieved over a 24 hour period. Don't picture EQ needing that much. I did my first 2 years of eq on dial up and the only big difference I really noticed well when I got DSL at the time was that there was less of a delay between my spellcasting timer finishing and the spell actually casting. Otherwise it was great.
Did all that make sense or did I babble? I kept correcting it.

If I remember right, EQ used to run at around 7 to 10 Kbps. It may have grown, and raids will be heaving since there is more data, so lets estimate 20 Kbps.
This equates to roughly 8.75MB/hr.
Assuming you run 2 EQ clients running 24 / 7 over a 30 day billing period, that is roughly 12.3GB of transfer a month.
Two clients at 5 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 2 clients, over a 30 day billing period, it's roughly 2.6GB.
I will do some testing when I get a chance and see how much it really uses while I raid tonight, on average.
