i dont think even home 500 would do if you use skype regularly.. unlimited is a good option.. skype audio+video chat works awesome with 256kbps
500 doesn't, as I seem to consume 200MB in an hour.Restricting a session to about 15/20 mins for parents with a recently migrated daughter to the US can be pretty tough!Please do post your experiences with 256kbps, as I'm a bit worried as the Skype forums do suggest a minimum of 384kbps (apart from optimum Processor and webcam specifications) for high quality video(HQV).I wouldn't mind a FQV/TQV (Fair/Tolerable) .TIA

Thanks a lot.From my end ,am using a web-cam 1.3Mp ,professing to transmit at 30 frames/sec ,on a core 2-duo processor 2GBram and running Vista Home Premium.The camera at the other end is also good quality and is supposedly capable of more than 24 f/sec at resolutions more than the skype specified 640 x 480.The only stumbling block happens to be bandwidth from this end ,and am wondering whether to step down the resolution of the wbcam at this end to 640 x 480 to compensate for 256kbps if and when I do change to the unlimited 500 plan (discounted price in Kolkata)
