I repeatedly did this and now I get good clear skype calls most of the time, so I like to think the fact they were giving me refunds may have made them target improvements to my neck of the internet :) David if you get a corrupted call place service call for each one and paste in the call log and you’ll get money for those back.

Since I have pre-payed for skype call outs I expect more. in fact, the problem is not free vs pay as everything can break down but at least if you are not satisfied with the service you can reclaim. Not the case of skype though. In any case, I have already made up my mind to change after my credit will be off as i have been experiencing lots of "corrupted" calls for the last two months for which i have been charged since they changed their policy and started to charge for connections even if you just hear noises from outer space. Take care. Yes, I agree with Andy.

I use Skype as my main office phone - so, yes, I expect more from them. ;-) What sucks is that I didn't get a single update from Skype. I had to rely on reports from the web.
