Is my connection fast enough?

You're going to want a broadband connection that's at least 90 kbps in both directions, upstream and downstream. Anything slower than this will result in very poor call quality; dialup service is not fast enough.

You can find out how many voip phones your connection will support by using a Connection Tester and find out how fast your internet is.
