cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 Just noticed yesterday that we had used our 10 gig bandwith for the month, it's the first time we have done that and though this month i have streamed F1 and the NFL draft it still shouldn't have run out. My partner has had a couple of longish Skype sessions(1 hour+), so i'm wondering if anyone has an idea how much bandwith skype uses? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark247 39 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Not nearly as much as your F1 and NFL. But that is if she is just using voice. Edited April 27, 2010 by Mark247 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sp8s 1 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) The Wifes boy uses Skype video and it uses heaps of bandwidth. Come close to my bandwidth every month because of it. Have to knock my downloading back at the end of every month. Checked my usage meter on Xnet and 2 hours of video equals 300mb Edited April 27, 2010 by sp8s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was about 6mb per min for video chat in 640x480 res with sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaneg 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 Have you got wep or wpa protection?? Wep is very easy to crack... only takes about 1-2mins to get past. Someone might be helping themselves to your 10gig.. But that aside i use 10 gig very easily, online gaming and what not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
