On ADSL i checked the Skype download/upload speeds :
Netlimiter shows stats of around ruffly 6kb up , 6kb down. (12kb per sec)
on average 43.2mb per hour,
The above usage estimates, is for Skype voice only.
For Skype Video The estimates figured up show about 3.4MB per minute being used during a video call. The test was done by logging the data usage before and after a 1-minute call. However, if you've got 2 GB to play with, you shouldn't have too much of a problem skypeing.
Finally, I Suggest, Use Netlimiter (netlimiter.com if I recall correctly).
Tells you the bandwidth used, both per second and in total, by each program on your computer as well as the total of all programs. It also lets you limit individual programs to whatever upload and download per-second bandwidth you choose. The home license is basically nag-free shareware, with no ads, spyware, or resource hogs, and is very powerful. It's also the only program of its kind!
Or you can contact your ISP and they can tell you how much bandwidth you have used. If it comes close I suggest another plan.
do i have to have interned to use skype? please help
No there is no way to use Skype without an internet connection. I have looked very far into it....sorry.
You can use free skype to skype service.
An individual can use their USB Skype phone at pretty much any location. The only requirement is to have wireless (WiFi) or some form of internet access.
You need to have a Skype Account with login details and password. Skype installed in your device with active internet connection.
Yes. You need a high-speed internet connection to use Skype. This may come from a cable internet modem, but it might also come from a DSL line (from the telephone line) or a high-speed wireless connection.
Skype was one of applications which started a VOIP revolution, much lowering costs of phone conversations, enabling to use an internet connection instead ofa traditional wire connection.
It works much like a phone. It connects to others that have skype, and you can talk to one another over the internet. There is also an option to pay to use skype to connect to regular home and cell phones.
A computer, an internet connection, and the skype client (download for free from www.skype.com). Also, having some friends/family that use Skype too wouldn't hurt :).
A computer, an internet connection and the skype client. Some phones can use skype instead of a computer as well. You still need the other two, however.
No. If you uninstall internet explorer, skype will stop working.
