Can I play XBOX online using a Jetpack?

I have an XBOX 360, and my parents have a Jetpack (not sure the model) instead of WiFi. I'm going to visit them and would like to bring my XBOX, but I'm not sure if it will be worth it. I would like to know if anyone knows how much data XBOX Live uses (we have 10GB shared). I would probably use it 2-3 hours a day if I could. Thanks!

System updates and game updates are common.  Using a jetpack and xbox is a dangerous way to blow through your data and get big overages. Consider anyone reading this thread warned.

DO NOT DO IT.  Playing video games online probally uses anywere from 1-8 gbs a hour depending on what game your playing

a 2 hours hd movie can range from 1.3 to 2.5.  just type in google and type in data usage calculator and there is all types of site that can  give you a good idea of what it will use

Xbox 360 online gaming won't use 1-8 GB an hour not even close but it would still use a lot of data for a phone plan. Also any update or game download you do can certainly exceed 1 GB.

Streaming video is even worse. Netflix can exceed 3 GB an hour.

Go to page 58 DMZ. Be aware there are limitations on incoming traffic to Verizon devices, so not everything will work.
