Observation Assisted Bandwidth Management

A system comprising:

• one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware, the one or more modules configured to perform operations comprising:
• collecting data from a plurality of terminals, the data describing variability of bandwidth of wireless network access experienced by respective said terminals;
• assigning bandwidth parameters that are based on the collected data to one or more of a plurality of clusters, the assigning based on network parameters associated with the data that are collected from the respective said terminals;
• and
• distributing one or more of the bandwidth parameters responsive to a request, the distributed one or more bandwidth parameters located from a respective said cluster based on network parameters included as part of the request.

One or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• making estimations during a call between the computing device and another computing device that describe an amount of bandwidth that is available at particular times during the call;
• adjusting bandwidth used to make the call based at least in part on the estimations;
• and
• forming a communication to be communicated to a service provider, the communication including network parameters that describe characteristics of a network used to make the call and data based on the estimations made during the call regarding the amount of bandwidth.
