Skype outage, explained
August 20th, 2007 by Benjamin KuoSkype has just posted an explanation of the firm’s 30-hour outage last week. I previously used Skype religiously for both Internet and landline phone calls (incoming and outgoing), but over the last six months have pretty much dropped using the service due to huge echo problems dialing many numbers (nothing worse than a business call being interrupted by “could you repeat that again?”), inability to connect to conference call lines, and some strange problem connecting into the 805-area code (particularly in Santa Barbara).
