I have internet phone service*. No perceived problems. Maximum bandwidth
of a voice call is 64 Kbps. They all run with compression so they only
use ~8-16 Kbps. Your cable modem should have 2 Mbps or better. 

 

PS: The phone company likes to point out that this 2 Mb is shared
bandwidth, but the actual bandwidth of a cable modem was 57 Mbps 5 years
ago. It's probably higher than that now.that is the bandwidth you are
sharing.

 

* Sunrocket.com: $199/year including nationwide long distance and all
taxes for under $17 per month.

Does anyone have experience using internet phone service while day
trading.

 

Am concerned that it may take more bandwidth than I can spare ... and
interfere with the real time data stream .

 

Am using AB with eSignal with a cable modem. Will probably never monitor
more than 50 issues at a time

 

 

TIA
