Addendum to the Comparison

I have received a very friendly reminder from ooVoo that their System Requirements say "Broadband connection (Cable, DSL etc..)", and I think it is only fair to repeat that again - I don't want it to sound like I am faulting them for marginal performance in an environment that they don't even claim to work in!

I have received a very friendly reminder from ooVoo that their System Requirements say "Broadband connection (Cable, DSL etc..)", and I think it is only fair to repeat that again - I don't want it to sound like I am faulting them for marginal performance in an environment that they don't even claim to work in! I just checked their web page, and it doesn't say anything specific about minimum speed. As I said in the comparison, I think my brother's 128k upload speed is very marginal as broadband connections go; if you want to be at least "comfortable", I recommend that you have at least 256k upload and download speed.
