you don't realize how privileged you are  having all that bandwidth to spare 
[well if you have it]  ;-)
    
I live in a third world country where the "broadband" connection I have
is sometimes slower than dial-up.

  
btw what is your monthly download allowance in Gigs?
    
I don't have a monthly download allowance since it's self limiting via
the broadband connection falling apart regularly. It helps if you
download stuff after 2am after all the script kiddies downloading p0rn
have gone to bed.

Hey Phil, I feel your pain!

Was on dialup for half a decade (Eircom, then BT) then GPRS (Vodafone) for a long time now halfbaked mobile broadband (Three Ireland) (the Irish National Broadband scheme guarantess 1.2 Mbit/sec minimum, I get about 0.2 - 0.5; over 1 Mbit would be a very peak value for me) but it still beats dialup :) A typical _download_ would be around 30 kByte /sec - 150 kByte /sec [during low traffic]but often it drops down to below 20, even below 10. Latency typically between 200 and 800 ms.

Upload is typically factor 10 worse, so I would have between 0.01 Mbit to 0.1 Mbit/sec (still wanna do Skype?)

But the last time I tried to use Voip it was a desaster... I think the only option is what Eric suggested earlier, one of those low cost conference companies, I need to see if there is anything suitable for EurAsia. Otherwise I am quite happy using WebEx built in (text) chat facility :p
