256kbps enough for video calls on msn messenger?
GK asked:
Hi. Im currently using BSNL Dataone Home 250 Plan at 2mbps speeds. Im a frequent user of the video call facility in msn messenger. Video conferencing works gr8 on 2mbps line with no video choppping and the video is real time with no shakes. But since i have a download limit of 1GB, i am planning to switch over to 750UL-the only drawback being the speed reducing to 256kbps. I just wanted to know whether my video calls would work just as well as before or would i suffer on some fronts…Pls Help…..

Dialup has cut it for video calls on skype with my parents. well, they were one-way but they *were* receiving video. 256kbps should be manageable.
