Valencia, CA | I've attempted to run Skype over DSL/Cable, through a VPN tunnel, over an SSH portforwarded tunnel to a Squid proxy.
It _did_ work, however, latency itself was +100ms on a 'good' day, and was very broken up during the call. Skype is very robust (Magic Jack wouldn't even work).

Ive used Skype over wimax in South America and In Europe , never seen the problems that they are having here.
Normal wimax in other countrys had a ping time of 180 to 250 to the backbone and usually 300 or so to the us , I'd like to know where these folks are routing all thier traffic to see these ping times.

Not sure why you or mrkevin think high pings would make a VOIP call "break up" or cause pauses between words.
Breaking up is likely the result of packet loss. High pings should simply cause an uncomfortable pause between when you stop speaking and the person on the other end would hear you stop speaking. This is similar to the problem that news programs have when they try to do live interviews over a satellite uplink. The latency makes "real time" discussions painful. |

The high ping times could be a result of packet loss somewhere in the network.
