Am I getting all of the quality possible out of Windows Live Messenger (build
8.0.0812.00) and the Messenger servers with my current DSL connection (speeds
are 1507 kbps download and 356 kbps upload), or would the quality of my
webcaming improve if I upgraded to Verizon FIOS internet service ( 5 Mbps
upload and 2 Mbps download)?

Me and the contacts I webcam with are using the Logitech Communicate STX
which has 30 frames per second....however, I am more concerned with getting
clear audio while I webcam with them. The audio is real good if doing an
audio only chat, but then it becomes choppy and broken up if I add video into
the mix.
