O2 broadband and SKYPE

ikon · 2009-03-09 20:48:04

Has anybody got any experience using skype on O2 mobile broadband? Any good? I am bit concerned about the ping time which is too high @200-250 ms (Approx.) Thanks.

Used it for a year and have to say it was poor. Very slow and broken speach. I do live in the sticks so I was happy to have anything faster than dial up. I would say if you have decent signal it might be tolerable.

It will vary from poor to unusable.

3's Skype phones don't use Skype at all (which is why it works). iSkoot uses data to connect a call and then the voice is via regular 3G phone call to a Skype client/server in 3's Network, to connect onwards via VOIP.
