VoIPCheap Bandwidth Usage

#1 (**permalink**) 08-19-2005, 04:07 PM

Hi there

I saw an earlier posting saying that 80-90K was about normal for both
directions of a VoIP client.
I'm just trying out VoIPCheap and intend using it to get my business
going and contact clients (I'm a tight wad and have to be careful with
cash).

Questions: does the 80-90K above refer to Kilobits or Kilobytes does
anyone know?

How sensitive are VoIPCheap to people making lots of calls (100 per day)
over the service at the moment or aren't they bothered?

Many thanks for any advice/input.

kbits/s ie about 40% of an ADSL upload rate is used by a single VoIP
call.
