Skype on dial-up

    Does anyone have any experience using Skype with Dial-up?

    It says it will work, but I've heard people say the quality isn't too good. I'll be looking to do Skype on DSL to Skype on dial-up.

    where I work, we tested that and found that it uses about 4 kbps upload so you would want make sure you pretty close to your exchange and that your connection is perfect to have it on dial up....

    Yeah I connect to the net at 52.8K most times, and I don't have any problems with skype. But, if you so much as open a web browser, your call will fade out or drop. You really do need every bit of your connection for skype. That said, sometimes my dad's connection drops off(on skype-to-landline calls), and he has 12mbit.

    Now I'm jealous - twleve million bits per second

    "There were 12,000,000 bits skypeing on the call
    and if one little bit should accidently fall
    there'd be 11,999,999 bits skypeing on the call..."
