What my Verizon's bandwidth caps for VoIP?

A few days ago was Verizon that implement latest wireless provider broadband caps on the data network. It seems to be a trend with mobile network operators, and it doesn't seem to any way it will slow down. Caps for mobile networks bandwidth are here to stay, and it seems that these caps even to the new LTE networks expand, if she roll start out. Only a few companies still offer unlimited data plans, and that is because their networks not as full as the others. Sprint has set such as a limit on wireless bandwidth usage.

Unfortunately, this is bad news for VoIP users who have come to rely extensively on the using the mobile services of VoIP. But a little math shows, shows only a tiny amount of data to VoIP. With the correct settings, for example, one can voice call 12 minutes to less than 500 KB of bandwidth. This will demand means whopping 85 days continuous data caps on Verizon around 5 GB! So you can use your data caps themselves, even if you - not even in fact want half.

Of course, far more than just VoIP are your actual usage. Videos, webcams, and also regular heavy can surf in your bandwidth usage quite quickly, so that less time for voice cut. It is inevitable that you will start, twice superior long phone calls. But since you probably will call on Smartphones, which will market solutions that allows you, your bandwidth in real time to throw and monitor warning even if you have your limits step. There are applications on the marketplace that do this already. Important for companies this not really. Most people at work will use VoIP phones that are connected via a cable Internet connection, which of course have no such bandwidth constraints.

The actual impact of bandwidth caps on VoIP will be realized only after we analyze the usage patterns of people to find out how much time they need in the wireless data network to spend. For example mobile phones can be configured at home or at work, to WiFi mode automatically switch to fire without the use of all data in the wireless lines. This should already cut down on a significant amount of talk time.

The judgment is not out yet, but caps on VoIP should be little to none of the effects of wireless bandwidth. VoIP bandwidth is very friendly with the right codecs and because the use at home and work can be discounted, it is possible, that there no need to worry about the additional payment for goes beyond the borders of your data.
