Hi John, I would recommend buying a flat-rate connection at 192kbps. That way when your server gets attacked you won't get hit with a bill for $10,000 in excess data charges. You might pay anywhere between $300-$600/month for such a flat rate service, depending on where you get it delivered. Streaming audio internationally on a capped plan isn't a particularly good idea.

Thanks, I'm trying to come up with a pretty accurate figure that includes up/down traffic, for quote obtaning purposes.
/me hands John a calculator...
128kbps = 16kbytes/sec = 960kbytes/min = 57ish Megabytes/hour = approx 1.3Gbytes per 24 hour period (Excluding overheads etc)
I am not fimilar with the specifics of MP3 data streams I thought someone here might have figures based on experience.
