I'd like to know what the minimum speed of DSL is for ooVoo to work smoothly. I have whats known as broadband light which is a 256K connection and doesn't seem to handle it well. The program says bandwidth fluctuations are degrading image quality and it gets all pixelly (if that's a word) Who has used this and what do the minimum requirements ensue?

oovoo crap

Lal, I can only assume you are a Brit like Mark and refered to ooVoo as good enough to "shag" - using the asterisks to save the younger readers of this fine coloumn from explicit language.

I would love to see if can help troubleshoot the problem you are having. Please send me an email or reply here and I'll do what I can. Seriously, sorry its not working for you.
Cheers,
Philip

Gerry, we recommend 256K and above. Are you sharing your bandwidth with other applications or indeed other computers? Drop me an email and we'll troubleshoot, alternatively drop a note off at the ooVoo support center.
Cheers,
Philip
