I find 3 coverage pretty good usually as it falls back on Vodafone when there isn't a 3 mast nearby but that's strictly for regular voice calls.

As for the Skype calls, well there are a lot of variables there when it comes to call quality. You won't get logged in without a good 3G signal but once you are I've found the quality of voice ok as it uses the voice network. However, if your signal is dodgy to start with then all your voice calls, will be sub-par, Skype included.

Also, for Skype the quality you get will also depend on the mic of the person you're calling. If they're not using a headset or another Skype phone then don't expect great results unless they have a very good mic.

Perhaps there are general coverage issues in Swords...
