absolutely rubbish.

okay, here goes, first of all the very few good things i have to say about skype.
good - this is easy to set up and download, easy to get an account on etc, it is easy to add people 90% of the time.
bad - where do i start? this is made out to be so great, which i found out to be total rubbish when downloading this onto my top of the range laptop, you would of thought it'd be good on a great laptop. ever since the day i downloaded it, it has been nothing but a disappointment, when you call someone, that is no further than half a mile away from you, you'd expect it to be fast and easy, no. it is totally the opposite. me and my american friend(im english) were so annoyed when we tried this to see each other at least a year or 2 after seeing each other in person, we could hardly see eachother, we couldnt hear eachother. even when i call people less than half a mile away, the picture is so bad you cant see them, you cant hear them and you end up finishing and restarting the call several times.
It is safe to say, I HATE SKYPE. and when i work out how to delete it i definitely will. rubbish, absolute rubbish.
i mean, maybe its because i dont pay for it, as i just like a free way to talk to friends when not with them, or they are in another country, but its still not justifiable.
