How much bandwidth does MSN mobile use?

Why is MSN Messenger dropping my net connection?

• I know, it sounds crazy. Admittedly we've had a lot of issues with our internet service (Charter), but for the last 4 or so months, the net has been very well behaved. Not disconnecting, not fluxuating when bandwidth is being eaten, and generally just doing what it's supposed too. Unfortunately, it seems like every time I log into MSN Messenger and use any of the features (change display name, send/recieve an I.M.) the internet disconnects and we have to reset the modem. Is there a reason for this? I usually have downloads that exceed 1mb/s and doesn't effect the connection. What could this be?

• Answer:

  That's weird. I wouldn't know because I have DSL. But the only way to find out is by contacting your internet service provider and letting them know about the problems your having. I think MSN is a bit heavy software. But that's all what I'm going to say. Good luck ;)
