skype bandwidth calculation help

Recommended Posts

Hi , i need to make calls via skype on a wireless connection, the total is 5gb bandwidth limit.

 

here are my calculations to call someone for 30 minutes on weekdays only for 1 month.

 

SKYPE CALLS ARE 100kps

 

100kps SO FOR 60 SECONDS OF CALLING

 

6000KB FOR 60 SECONDS OF CALLING OR 6 MB

 

180000 FOR 30 MINUTES OF CALLING PER DAY OR 180 MB

 

20 WEEK DAYS PER MONTH EVERY DAY 30 MINUTES OF CALLING=3,600,000  OR 3.6 GB

I assume kps is Kilobytes Per Second.

 

There are 2 notation types about "kilo" either "1024" or "1000".

 

If you are using "1024" at the rate you posted you would use 27.465 GB.

 

If you are using "1000" at the rate you posted you would use 28.8 GB.
