Well, Im moving soon and thus evaluation my connectivity options. Since Bell can only give me a 1.5mbit max line, Im going to try Rogers out. However, Rogers has a 60gb cap. I download about that now as it is so I want to know from those of you that use VOIP, how much bandwidth/month do you consume? Im probably going to sign up with Vonage as I have heard they are half decent.

Not enough to notice it really.

But since you download alot, then that means while downloading and using the phone at the same time, you will see a difference in your download speeds. Not alot, but you will see it jitter.

It really depends on how much you use the phone. A good guideline is to assume 6k per second.
