When you say buy, I assume you mean this would be hosted somewhere on the web, rather than on a PC at your house. The software is easily downloaded, and is in fact free of licence costs if you are using it for gaming and the like, provided you aren't charging others to use your Teamspeak server.

As for bandwidth, I've not noticed any significant issues when connecting to the clan's server. If you are running it on your own home PC, for use of just you and your brother I can't see you'd see any speed issues, unless your PC is seriously pants. If however you let outsiders connect then bandwidth might be an increasing issue.
