Noob question here:
Since i'm running out of data on my internet Key Card, and it renews next week, i'll probably will run at 32 kbs (because when i finish my monthly 10 gb amount, the speed became 32 kbs) does it support SE game by browser?

How the hell do you use 10 GBs a month? Me and my girlfriend share a single GB.

Is someone tapping your broadband. To deplete 10GB in a month could only mean tapping or you have been constantly downloading stuff.

SE uses very little bandwidth. In 2 months, SE had used 200Mb of data for me. I would think 32kb/s would be fine, but I have never tested it. I have played it on 1x which tops out around 144kb/s.

You can play, but if you DC or lags, I guess you can't complain much. Why not just head over to a cafe with wifi access? Grab a drink as well.

If you play with the desktop client, bandwidth consumption is extremely low, almost negligible. As Peter said, when playing on the browser it will download the client every time, unless it's cached. Firefox does the caching automatically I think, so once it loads, you can use it every time after that without consuming too much bandwidth. I used to do that with the test server before DP was released on live. In general though, I think your best bet is to get the desktop client.

I can vouch that Firefox downloads the caching so you don't have to download it everytime you login to the browser version.
But then again, client is better as its also more stable.
