I often audio chat one to one. I am broadband and they are dialup. I am
heard perfectly and I hear them barely (delays, dropout, garble,
conflation). Even with dialup the uplink is far slower than downlink - all
the more reason to have access to at least one fast connection to do most of
the propagation.
