Question : Can someone give me a bandwidth comparison

I am in need of support regarding the bandwidth requirements for various online applications.
That is, can you tell me in order, which of the following types of applications requires the most bandwidth.  Email, voice over internet(internet phone), online gaming, online video/movies, online TV.  I think I know the answer but I am looking for some verification which compares them numerically in terms of bandwidth requirements

Answer : Can someone give me a bandwidth comparison

> which of the following types of applications requires the most bandwidth.  Email, voice over internet(internet phone), online gaming, online video/movies, online TV.

Should be:
streaming, TV Video and movies

Low should be:
eMail & voice

Undetermined is gaming, which should be light use, but that can depend, really.

> I think I know the answer

and that is?

> I am looking for some verification which compares them numerically

I recommend switching from miscellaneous to networking topic area (TA), some of the experts there run their own analysis, real numbers, and justifications/explanations for the numbers, real world, not theoretical, so I think their response would be better than found on the web or in a book.

But miscellaneous is ok TA too, where you can gather personal experiences of some, it would typically be more qualitative that quantitative than a specific TA. In networking you can specialize the OS too, and that could be a factor.

> more bandwidth than telephone quality

And when the telephone comes with the web-cam and drawing board with the movie playing in the background?
