This article reminds me of the fact that I do use Skype often with my friends but it is an utter piece of shit with all the technical issues it has (most prominently the fact that peoples' voices become distorted randomly and the calls must be restarted). Seriously, you'd think a company like Microsoft would have it figured out by now (how long have they owned Skype?).
Anyways, good news for MS. Always nice to see a company doing well when so many are underperforming. |
Same problems on my laptop but curiously works fine on my Iphone.

its either your mic or your audio settings in your laptop. i used to have issue's but i worked them out. works great with me
|
Audio is fine it is disconnecting that is the problem. But my laptop is getting old and is getting those overheating problems (even cut some airholes in it lol).
|
lool i have a very strong feeling its your hardware then  but try some other program if it works fine than the problem is with skype

It's you that doesn't know how Skype works. Skype is peer to peer, meaning your conversation is routed through someone else's computer. If their bandwidth fluctuates, than your connection may fluctuate. This is one reason why when you attempt to exit Skype, it doesn't close the program but rather minimizes it. So your connection can be used to route other connections.
There may be various reasons why you lose the connection, depending who each party is. A connection between Europe and the US has to go across a trans-Atlantic connection. Which is the same wire that has existed since they laid down the first telephone cable.
