    Reigning in skype bandwidth hogging

    Recentyl I was at a friends house. He normally has 5 or 6 machines running including his smartphone and tablet.
    All have skype activated non stop. His computers are all mac's.

    When I connected my kubuntu 13.04 machine to the wifi network and activated skype because I had to do some work with my indian android app builder friends the whole internet connection came to a stuttering halt. He mormally has enough bandwidth, but with me skypeing ti India and his GF skypeing with her parents in Brazil it was all used up.

    I have read various articles from various sources. amoung them was this:

    and a solution here for macs:

    This must be a specific constellation, the past couple of days I've been using Skype and watched the network while calling, the bandwidth was at most around 15 KB/s.
