Boring gaming question

[th'engineer]

My lad uses voice over various games to communicate with other clan members.

Do we have anyone that can give me any ball park figure for the bandwidth usage of this service.

Is he hosting this, Or just a client?... And what codecs is the voice service using?

If you want native voice communication abilities...you want XBOX with XBOX Live ;)

You only need the basic broadband package and voice works a treat!

It also comes, as a gaming option, with voice masking --- so you or your lad and mask your voices for any reasons, including security and parental protection :)

The best client for using voice over games is "Teamspeak" :)

Might be better of asking on there forums about how much B/W it uses.

Although I have used it myself and it seems very stable and hardy uses any of my own B/W
