Video Chatting And Broadband Allowance

[MadDoc]

I've just moved to Australia and the concept of "unlimited" download allowance seems a bit of a dream here (prices are far too high). This means I need to get a capped allowance but I am trying to work out how much I will need to get.

I want to be able to video chat with my family back home but I have no concept of how mny megabytes per minute iChat or Skype (I have to use both) use for video chatting.

Any ideas?

MadDoc,

MadDoc,

How long do you usually video chat?

I guess that depends on how many megs/min it is

Realistically, I would probably use it for 30 mins per day (there are two of us out here!).
