Default Info: How much bandwidth does VOIP use?
Hi everyone,

Many of us use internet based telephony (VOIP) such as Yahoo! Voice, Skype, etc. The question is how much bandwidth is used during such a call.
  • So yesterday, I decided to measure it myself.
  • I had a conference call to attend at 8:30pm for one hour.
  • So instead of the usual way of calling our company phone operator (on normal voice line) and asking him to connect to the bridge, I decide to use Cisco VPN and Nortel Softphone.
  • I switched the modem off and on at 8:20 pm so as to get a clean record in the BSNL usage site.
  • My call started at 8:30 pm sharp and lasted till 10:08.
  • I switched off the modem immediately after the call.
  • Today the usage portal is showing 154944 KB used. So the usage has been 1581.06 KB per minute or 26.35 KB/s.
Hope this information is useful to you all.
