what amount of up/down data for voice and video chat?

[padixer]

hi,Has anybody calculated how much data is transfered up/down for say 30min or one hour session of voice and video chat and text chat. I just want to base the selection of my next plan based on this, whether to go for unlimited or vol based access.

depends on codec / quality selected. Consumption starts from 32 kbps and goes up to 128 kbps for normal codecs.In practice, consumption is less because client will not send data if someone is silent.
