Skype Data rates

Hi all,

according to https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA1417/How-much-bandwidth-does-Skype-need

(1024kByte = 1MByte); (8kbps = 1kBps)

calling

--------

minimum:

30kbps = 30/8 kiloBytes (per second) = 225kiloBytes (per minute) = 0.22 MegaBytes per minute

if they charge both upload and download, then it would be 0.44 MegaBytes per minute

recommended:

100kbps = 100/8 kiloBytes (per second) = 750kiloBytes (per minute) = 0.73 MegaBytes per minute

if they charge both upload and download, then it would be 1.46 MegaBytes per minute

 

 

video calling
---------------

minimum:

128kbps = 128/8 kiloBytes (per second) = 960kiloBytes (per minute) = 0.9375 MegaBytes per minute

if they charge both upload and download, then it would be 1.875 MegaBytes per minute

recommended:

300kbps = 300/8 kiloBytes (per second) = 2250kiloBytes (per minute) = 2.2 MegaBytes per minute

if they charge both upload and download, then it would be 4.4 MBytes per minute

• so if you assume minimum requirements and charge for only download it will be
• calling->0.22MB per minute
• video calling->0.9375MB per minute

cheers!
