Regarding skype problem with disconnection and login, from my experience it is not all because of Skype itself.

Another thing that you need to check via your ISP provider or there web site if they have one is your Contention ratio, by this I mean how many other people are sharing the same bandwidth as you from the ISP. The lower the ration means a better bandwidth for you which means less packet loss etc.

I have several e-mail addresses, I keep a landlines and use Skype as well as other services. For me, it’s totally free as I don’t use the out service and it’s usually people calling me anyway.

Skype problems once in a while and it has proven itself to be quite reliable..I am still bouncing in and out of the grey zone…It clearly shows that they keep many secrets about how their technology works, including how fail safe it is..

Especially if they are one of the heavy duty nodes that constitute the hubs of the Skype network.. I do not criticize Skype for having a problem, but if they do not tell us the truth, then my trust will be gone and with that my business…

The weekend is here and hopefully most Skype business users will be able to ‘take a deep breath’ as Skype is always saying and hope that the problem is solved before start of business on Monday morning.

Here in Belgium there has been intermittent service, but oddly enough (can anyone explain this) I had service for two hours late Friday afternoon, and managed to make a couple of Skype-out calls, but a colleague just a block away was still in the ‘grey button zone’ If it is of any importance (I am not a techie type so I wouldn’t know) he uses the same ISP — Belgian Telenet).

As I write this at 22,30 local time, I am still bouncing in and out of the grey zone. Like many others, I have now started to use another system as back-up (WengoPhone)and I wonder how this whole debacle is going to affect Skype in the long term.

And how will it affect the parent company E-bay on the Nasdaq? There is already a deal of viral spruiking going on for other VOIP providers — and it could take a slice off of E-bay’s share price. But let’s not go there: let’s hope this weeked will give the guys at Skype time to get their act together. Anybody going to join me in a drink to that?
