Re: The launch of Skype from the makers of Kazaa CMReddy..this may sound stupid, but how did you find random people to talk to? I want to test the system. My online name is same terrifh.
Thanks.
OK..figured it out, but have not been able to get anyone online yet...so much for playing with new toys.

 | reply to jeffpulver Hi All,
today i spoke to Terrifh and the quality is pretty good. She had 2000 Kbps cable and 128 uplink speed. I have 750K downlink, and dont know whats the uplink speed is. But voice was quite fine.. Just like any other phone. Sorry Section13 I didnt read the forum.. I guess you can call Terrifh or call randomly.. choose a country and patiently call everyone.. Someone would answer..
by the way, i spoke to a guy in India yesterday and he had 128 kbps link and the voice was pretty good. Occational breaking in voice, but that was bearable. Over all, i would say the reliability still has to improve. |

 terrifhPremium join:2003-07-04 Los Angeles, CA | Hi cmreddy and everyone...as CMR said we spoke last night. It definitely beat my expectations. Later on regular tel line spoke with a friend in Hong Kong and the call was not as clear!! I have my friends overseas signing up. This could be a fun and economical new tech toy for me. Unlike other phone services I do not expect it to be consistent or reliable.
Section 13 feel free to call me if you want to test your connection. |
