| 258853 | 2004-08-06 10:56:00 | I plan on getting the flat rate 256K plan from jetstream. My question is, would this speed be enough to effectively stream a small resolution webcam session through MSN messenger? I know a full-duplex audio conversation wouldn't be a problem, but am I pushing the boundaries with a webcam at this speed? And what about gaming.. do most games ping well with this connection also? Cheers. |

| 258854 | 2004-08-06 11:31:00 | I, myself, am a regular user over internet conferencing over MSN. I use both audio and video at the same time. Audio usually goes without problems, but a highly resolution webcam will occasionally freeze for a few seconds. It does not happen a lot, but just enough to annoy you! Just make sure you don't have a network of computer sharing your network when you do this though. I have found that they can almost 'destroy" connections. :D |

| 258855 | 2004-08-06 13:02:00 | Hi Jerry , 256 K is fine for a 1 on 1 audio/video chat via msn from NZ to Aussie and the UK in my experience - sure it'll freeze on occasions but it's still well do- able :) Mike |

Not sure if the latest version is better or not but in the past the solution was to use Yahoo instead of MSN.> I know stuff all about it (but intend to learn) but anything Susan B says is well worth keeping in mind.

| 258857 | 2004-08-07 00:12:00 | well a mate had problems with msn with his camera. no matter what settings you used it was always glitchy. he went to eyeball which works sweet as even on a good dailup connection. | tweak'e (174) | ||
