<p>Unfortunately for you, the bandwidth consumption is close to
skype for video calls according to UQAM (Montreal university)
tests. The chat consumes way less, but it sounds you want audio +
video.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My chorus is thinking about having a coach work with us
over a Skype connection, with the catch that we rehearse at a
church whose WiFi we're not allowed to use. (It's
complicated.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It would be possible to use a cell phone as a hotspot, but
I'm not sure if it would provide enough bandwidth for the
call. The rehearsal would be about three hours, so at 128kbps
(Google's answer for Video calling), that would burn through
135M, so about 1/7 of my monthly allotment. Then again, video
isn't necessarily required, and that would cut down the
required bandwidth to 30kbps.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are there any alternative products or services that anyone
could suggest for this type of application?<br clear="all">
