Then start piling on the applications: Voice over IP, for example, requires 40 to 90 kilobits per second per call. For a VoIP conversation in which both parties are simultaneously accessing the Internet over a shared, home-networked connection, even a typical 200 kilobits per second back channel may not suffice. If you cant perform data access at the same time [as using VoIP] then theres no real advantage to using it, says Pierce.
I don't even have 40 kilobits per second, let alone 90. I guess with my current plan, I won't be using much VOIP
(not like I ever did in the first place, but it could be useful someday). |

I think the current 18 month contract price is about $49 a month paying month to month or $43 a month if you pre-pay a certain term. That's probably cheaper than most of your local providers too. |
