All I am trying to say is that VoIP is not the bandwidth hog that ISP claim.
I agree completely. For my specific Vonage account, the Bandwidth Saver option allows me to select between 30 kbps and 90 kbps. Considering the times that I queue and download items from newsgroups (often in excess of 5 Mbps), Vonage at the max setting is a mere drop in the bucket.
