So my friend and I have been fighting with skype all night trying to talk and quite frankly it's ****ing me off (my constant DC'n aint helping either)
So heres the deal. He call me and we try to talk and make plans and the call drops. We try calling again and seconds later the call drops. He reboots his system.
About 5 minutes later he calls me on my cellphone and says that he can't find me. He's able to call his brother and his brother in turn called me and everything was fine. The I DC'd and threw a temper tantrum.
I figure what the hell, I'll reboot too and I do. I sitting there getting ready to call and he calls me on skype. We get about a half minute of talk time before he goes all Roboto on me and I can't understand a damn thing he's saying although he hears me just fine on his end.
Cutting a long story down I DC a few more times bedcause my internet of late has been the devil and we also get multiple dropped calls. Well for shits n giggles I decided to call him on my laptop and and we can hear each other fine again except that I sound like I'm talking through a tunnel because the laptop was sitting on top of a monitor so I call myself which gives us a psychedelic feedback. I DC again because the internet blows and I call him again on my PC. Again I get a mr roboto sound.
99% of the time skype works without fail but every now n then we get these stupid ass issues where one of us get all robotic and makes game play impossible.
Any clues as to whats going on?

Skype is fine, it's an excellent service.
However, you will find that many ISP's have been applying "QOS" to their networks, and severely downgrading VOIP services OTHER than the ones they offer. Whether or not this is happening depends largely on the country you live in and the applicable laws. Some countries (UK for instance) basically let the ISP's buttraep their customers. Other places are more strict, but NO country (that I am aware of) enforces Net Neutrality and makes ISP's treat all traffic equally.
It's also possible (and FAR more likely) that there is a connectivity issue between you and him making the connection dreck. Either way, there isn't much you can do about it, unless there is a connectivity issue in your local connection and either you or the ISP serviceman can fix it.

I must've been tired when I wrote that cause it looks like english is my second language there (well it is really right after bad english)
We tried to jump onto vent also but I guess his copy had gotten corrupted. Either that or he doesn't wanna hassle with push to talk.
While I'm at it with skype I should mention I also got it downloaded on my pc at work so I can chat to him there too (only typing though, I'm not allowed to talk to my computer) and every now n then we'll be typing messages and it'll go off saying that message was not delivered then they build up. Not sure what to do with that.
