Thread: skype and internet speed

Hi,
I am not from India but have a good friend there and we thought we could get laptops and skype each other. Reliance internet was recommended to me by another trusted friend in India. When I look up prices for internet in India I am very confused! I get all these lists with different letters representing different speeds that I have never seen before and I have no idea what they mean or what is needful for a laptop for a regular person who just wants to Skype their friends from India. Help please!

Kindly provide details ,
Your present location ( country) and your Broadband provider.

Presume you need details for Use by your friend in India.
A broadband connection with a minimum speed at least 512 Kbps is recommended. Higher the speed still better.

Sometimes both Voice and Video may not work due to network conditions.

Para two;
I have a BSNL Home 750 speed upto 512 Kbps, Unlimited usage
Performance satisfactory for both VOIP and Skype usage.
( Audio/video tests are done by Skype application also )

You can test your connection. here for similar usage VOIP.

Finally the green buttons in report show ( if not interested in technical 'jargon") the quality of your connection.
Mine all "green" except last MOS.
