as VoIP provider.

On their website they say that the data traffic is about 100 MB per hour so it should be about 300 kbps.

Why did my DSL-Provider calculate about 4-6 MB per minute when I talked to the hotline?

Thanks for any advice!

Packetizer has a good tool that can help you work this out, although you may need to ask some questions of you voip provider to get the right info:
