Default Re: Skype Bandwidth Question

Yeah I already have a violation where I watched like no video. Anyway to answer your question first-hand: Before I came here I used to Skype with someone who was here and it definitely effected their bandwidth negatively at a pretty rapid rate. So tread carefully...maybe do it from like 2pm-3pm as a test and then check your bandwidth meter at 4:45 when it updates and see how much it effects your bandwidth used.

On a side note, the 2gb limit is horrible as is the awful slow speeds during any time from like 12pm-5pm.

EDIT: O yeah also just remembered...as an alternative you can go to the commons and use wireless there as that doesn't count against your bandwidth.
