VOIP Bandwidth Usage

John_M_Business

Hi there

Can any techies help me out on how much 'download' is used on a VOIP call...

The reason is that I have a 6 Gb monthly limit, but plan to hammer VOIP calls... If a max of 1 Gb is used for all my other programmes / downloads; about what amount of calls will 5 Gb per month give me?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Edit: oops, dropped a K. It uses up to about 16k bytes per second so that's about 57MB an hour or 1.7GB for 30 days at an hour a day.

It depends on which company you are using and the codec they use:

So, I've basically got about 2-3 hours a day total. Not to be sniffed at...

Thanks
