Minimum MB/S you can run for the 202 ???

[themessiah]

What might be the minimum MB/S that is needed by the 202 with 4 google numbers

Would 7 MB/S be enough

thank you !!!

A good 0.4 Mb/s up and down would be enough if there was not competing data traffic

That would be 0.005 MB/s.

thanks ... !!!

Actually what I am being quoted is 7 mbps up 7 mpbs down ... looking to go with another provider ...

so would that really be 0.007 ?

there would be 2 laptops on the same connections as the 202 ...


note:
OK, the ad says 7.0 Mbps (earthlink cable)

Generally the upstream will be the limiting factor. Note that "up to" is not a statement of the minimum. However you should have more than enough bandwidth. Figure 100000 bits per second for each simultaneous call.


Now the jitter could be the limiting factor. Search that term along with SIP. Packets that arrive significantly later than others will be discarded. Jitter can be a factor with wireless. Try to have the best signal that you can.

I know what you mean, but 7 mbps would be 7 millibits per second, and would be incredibly slow.

Ok, right now I have the "up to" 15/5 ... so if I am understanding correct the up to 7 is better than the up to 5 I currently have ?

assuming the 5 is the upstream ?

and thank you again !!!

I appreciate the geekiness here, but there is no such thing as a millibit (or one thousandth of a bit), and there would never be a time in which one bit transfers every one thousand seconds. As always, context is key, and with technical jargon, mbps always means megabits per second (even the author at wisegeek seems to acknowledge this). If we were talking about food or chemistry or some other subject, yes, lowercase m is milli, as in milligram or milliliter.
