"jitsi.meet sounds like a good idea until you realize you need a really fast connection (optic fibre is recommended)."

My experience testing it (and Palava.tv) is that it definitely doesn't work without a fast PC, and fast internet. Now that I have some more powerful hardware, and fibre to the door, I'm keen to give it another go.

But if you just want voice chat, I highly recommend Mumble. I've used it for conference calls with a web dev team of 5 and it worked really nicely, even on my poor old network (click on my username to see the specs) on a DSL broadband internet over copper. It has clients for most platforms (certainly all the currently popular ones). I haven't tried running a server though, I just found a gratis one to use.

Has anyone tried GNU Ring? It's a P2P voice (and video?) chat app that recently joined the GNU project.
