Skype hogging bandwidth during calls
Recently (or so I've noticed), Skype has been using up nearly all my bandwidth during calls. When I'm in a call, web pages take forever to load and a quick email sync takes 3 minutes instead of 3 seconds. The quality of the Skype call itself isn't too good, either.
Here are some Speedtest.net results from during and after a call:
Before and after:
Ping: 43ms
Down: 12.90Mbps
Up: 1.08Mbps
During the call:
Ping: 278ms
Down: 0.58Mbps
Up: 0.05Mbps
Why is Skype using up so much bandwidth during calls? Anyone got any idea?
