Is FaceTime possible while throttled?

I am assuming when throttled you are brought down to 3G speeds ... if so, then it will work fine , choppy intermittently though.
I have tested on 3G in Singapore only and its pretty poor bandwidth here for 3G , so I guess it should be good in the US
Yes you can still FaceTime.
I seen throttled speeds around 0.5 to 1mbps.
So it's still not that terrible being throttled.
People on sprint get those kind speeds on the regura unthrottled

I've made Skype calls with no problem with a 1mbps home connection, so it might work, of course I'm not considering ping and other variables

Those are good speeds for sprint 3G in my area. The norm here is .05-.10 Mbps.
Like everyone said. It really depends on your (throttled) connection speed. When I spend all the mb at max speed, it's down to 64 kbps, which isn't enough to load facebook normally let alone have a video call .
That's why I always buy some additional gb

LMAO
That sucks man.
Swerd, that's why I have never had sprint when I was using a smartphone. Im Verizon and my 3G is usually around 2 Mbps. Plenty fast for me.
