VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol, or in more common terms phone service over the Internet. If you have a reasonable quality Internet connection you can get phone service delivered through your Internet connection instead of from your local phone company. Some people use VOIP in addition to their traditional phone service, since VOIP service providers usually offer lower rates than traditional phone companies, but sometimes doesn’t offer emergency services. While many VoIP providers offer these services, consistent industry-wide means of offering these are still developing.
Essentially, the quality of what you are streaming impacts the speed you need. For example, the minimum internet speed recommended for streaming Netflix is 3 Mbps.
