The Dialup Difference

As long as you have the right equipment for video chat, you can chat with any type of Internet connection. Dialup connections will be slower, though, so conversation will not flow as easily. In addition, the pictures will not be transmitted smoothly, resulting in out of sync video chat. Video chat works best with a high speed cable or DSL Internet connection. It is also a good idea to have a web cam with a high frame rate. This should result in a smooth, clear picture and a conversation that is as good as chatting face to face. Many sites allow users to video chat free of charge for a few minutes to try their services.
