internet - Skype is greatly underperforming
While only the really high-duty stuff like watching movies is troublesome, I must make an exception for Skype. I just got invited for a conference call over Skype and that is just not possible. Although technically a p2p service, it just fails to do its job, even delivering chat messages is sometimes delayed for a long time although people are online.
I'm not sure whether it is still related to the Taiwan earthquake or whether they have different problems, since also calling or chatting with Beijing is sometimes not possible.

Fons, I am surprised to hear that. I am using Skype on a daily basis, to call clients in the US, Japan and India.
I also regularly use the conference call feature (like this morning) and usually the performance is very good. Sometimes voice get a little soft, or messages take a while, but since the undersea cable was fixed, the service is back to normal, and I love it.
