Definitely paying for 7Mb

Been trying to establish a skype call with my sister today for the first time and I can see her but she cannot see me. It keeps telling me that my internet connection speed is too slow

jay93

your phone line must be limited to just over 3Mb .do you ever get anywhere near the 7mb speed?
seems odd that skype is saying your connection is too slow ive used skype on my mobile broadband and it works grand my speed can be as low as 1mb and i can still talk without any issues

I have no idea if I've ever gone near the 7Mb limit but why would I be able to pay for 7Mb if my phone line is limited to 3Mb.....

The skype allows us to talk and I have video of her but she has none of me.
Tried it there a few mins ago and the connection bars were green and she could see me in the video but then the bars dropped to 2 and the video connection was lost again and she only had audio of me.
I wonder if it could be anything to do with the webcam needing updating??

Hi fluffyorganic1
not sure the web cam would make much difference with speed issue.. If you PM me your line no. I can run some tests for you and determine if any issue your with line or speeds.
