    Has anyone had any success running Google Video chat on a 3G connection?

    It keeps crapping out when I try on O2. I am getting above 1mb d/l and 384kb u/l

    No error message is given, just doesn't connect sound or picture.

    Works fine when I try it from my landline connection (8mb/400kb)

    Yes, it is probably bandwidth related but Maybe some clever clogs know a way around this?

    Ta muchness,


    S.

    Jitter and latency too high
    session disconects too often
    erratic speed

    It works just about on 42kbps dialup.

    The 3G is rarely stable enough.
