How much bandwidth does it use?

What are you going to be using it for?
If your just chatting, it won’t be much at all, I used to use it for a long time on dialup and it was fine. For sending files, the better the connection the better it works.

Well MSN doesn’t really take much of a bandwidth. The messages that you send and receive use the bandwidth more so actually if you don’t use long nick names (yup I have seen people with huge nick names) and keep your messages short and to the point, you won’t be sending a lot of data and luckily if you are chatting with someone who prefer short nicks then you can save up MBs of data every month. Bottomline... TB if you chat with me for say 6 hours straight, you won’t be receiving/sending more data than mmm 300-400 kb?
My friends use MSN on their mobile (GPRS) and they tell me that they chat all night and it doesn’t even take 1 mb of data transaction (1 mb means a LOTTTTT of chatting)
Hope the information helped. If anyone thinks otherwise then please share your knowledge.

500 MB is still not too bad, if you don’t download lots of mp3s you are safe.

I don’t know, but probably as much as you give it. I 1 Mbit at home and that works great.
