Well we use BTs 1 meg ADSL, which is not brilliant, but does the job. Skype which we have used since first available is first class, I talk to people in every corner of the globe with perfect clarity, only time I have noticed pauses is when using conference global calls, and downloading/uploading at same time. I do notice that places like West of USA( MS country, Washington State) that they seem to use 56K connections, which pause for 10 secs at a time if downloading at same time. The only other prob I have noticed, is if the other party is on a satellite connection, then it either sends or receives, but not both at same time. Regards
