If the connection is this bad, why waste your bandwidth on video? I turned it off because I did not find the echoing effects tolerable to listen to.

I'm not sure it's bandwidth and not just that they're not muting their microphones while he talks. Either way, the experience is terrible.

Seriously. Manually mute your mic. This applies to everybody who uses hangouts or conferences with anything, ever.

It also makes a big difference to use a headset or headphones so the other person's audio is directed into your ears, not played out loud.

Most gamers I know do this via talk-keys. Very handy.
