Skype uses a peer-to-peer infrastructure, and routes calls via other people's computers in order to provide fast connections, and get around NAT/etc. Some people have found that having Skype in idle has chewed up to 2GB of their bandwidth allocation per month.

13 mb per hour on voip.
$14.95 a month for 300 untimed local 300 untimed national and 100 calls to mobiles.
