- imaginenore 12y ago1 Gigabyte per hour? Are you really chatting at 22 Mbit/s? That's like half Bluray quality.
- yellowapple 12y agoThat wouldn't really be surprising if it's an HD video chat, especially when you consider that the communication would likely be bidirectional (unlike normal video streaming, which is one-directional).
