After being away from DXB for a few weeks & fully enjoying Skype without any workarounds, I came back to find that Skype functionality where I live (non-freehold residential near Beach Road) is still - at best - as bad as it was 3-4 weeks ago. The new Skype version still does not resolve the particular issue of "breaking the siege". I'm out of ideas for now, except for leaving this place for good sometime soon...
