Hi,
I have a bandwidth speed of around 400 kbps. My parents have a 256kbps DataOne connection and the speed is usually around 180kbps. When we tried video conferencing using Skype, the images were quite blurred. What bandwidth would you suggest for clearer images? Thank you.

We tried one way conferencing today. They were able to see us clearly. So I guess, should ask them to upgrade to 512kbps connection, to see them clearly. Thank you for the suggestion
