Skype doesn't seem to be eating a lot of bandwidth here. I host conference calls while streaming video and running a bunch of coding software .. all on a DSL connection. That is the one thing that really impresses me. It does need a *steady* connection though. If your internet connection is sporadic, or hiccups a bunch, it will drop calls. I know people with this issue, but I also know someone who travels around using it as the main communication system, and has had pretty good luck in most places.

South Florida can be sporadic, and some rural areas..

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
