Skype difficulties...
....I've been using Skype for more than 11 years and rarely had these major problems I read reported here. I have probably the slowest BB connection in these halls (0.7 Mbts on a good day) I use Skype Out to landlines in NZ and Australia and Europe and it always works.
OK, sometimes, to my daughter in Bristol when she finishes work around tea time the quality drops but I cancel the video and it recovers. I even put in a new credit card details last year without any drama.
I'm genuinely baffled.
