Skype and Clearwire..... again!

Polly~Flower

hi there, just wondering if its true that Skype works just as well on Clearwire as other providers once you get the port "unblocked"? Has anyone had any experience of this recently?????? I heard ages ago that Clearwire were meant to be working with Skype to work something out but don't know what ever came of it?

Thanks a million

I have clearwire and its pants. Slow speed, always needs to be re-set, cannot download from P2P. But can use skype with it (once you go through the trauma of downloading it)

Skype can work even on dialup, though not with pictures

using custom streams I've managed two way dialup voice & video at 33k.

Hiya thanks for your replies. I am happy with the speed actually. Never any complaints since I got it 6 months ago! I think it depends on where you are maybe? I am in D15. I know that P2P is blocked and I heard that because of this skype ports were blocked too... wasn't bothered until recently as want to use skype now. But I guess if you are using it even when the speed is crap it means that I shoudl be able to get it too. Sorry to hear that it sucks so bad. How long are you tied in for. I am thinking of moving to 3 mobile when my contract is up in 6 months. Although it all seems to be good to be true!!! Thanks again for your replies

Skype works fine,

Skype out does not work. I hear the person on the land line, but the person does not hear me talking.

Otherwise Clearwire is ok. The speed improved too after 2 or 3 weeks. (seriously). I think they reacted to an increase of traffic on one of their service point...whatever...

all the best
