Skype and Network Latency
I tried Skype about a year ago and found it to be quite poor. The main problem is network latency--it was impossible to have anything like an ordinary conversation, and that was when calling my buddy across town (via Skype Out). I don't know if there is additional latency when using Skype Out as compared to communicating computer-to-computer, but my guess is that if there is, that it is quite small. Later, I called the same friend from Spain. This was a truly awful experience, as the latency was probably between 500 ms and 1 s.
Skype and Network Latency
If you are getting latency on SkypeOut, I wouldn't just assume there'd be similar latency on Skype-to-Skype calls - the interface between the Skype network and the POTS seems to me to be a likely candidate for a bottleneck. |
