@poTAEtopoTAHto @JaredRn15 @CMUniversity Safety is important. Class material can be delivered en masse via Skype or with other applications in dire times. Its implied students will receive X amount of hours of instruction. If that doesn’t occur, the students come up short. That’s not right. You pay for a service!

@vodafoneservice at the moment is working and as you said it seems to be not general, i.e. if I go to the garden it works but inside my home office I have occassional problems; let us stay in touch because Sunday I have a long international Skype

@SkypeSupport I don’t think you want me to rate service rn. While the communication is helpful, the resolution is stalling my business.

@gnat I think it's because they're reallocated numbers with long histories of previous owners putting down their phone number everywhere. I've had a US Skype number for a decade and it still gets some rubbish (although not nearly as much)

@OfficeSupport I don’t have the Skype app installed on that mac. And the problem only happens with Outlook on the Mac, not with the app on my iPhone or iPad. No other changes to the system prior to the issue, apart from maybe an Office auto update

@Skype It is quite dissapointed when you have a problem with a service you do not have a phone number and no one to contact to.

@Tobit_Dehnen Completely agree! I was due to be down in Bristol twice in 10 days (from St Andrews...). Luckily I got accepted by the first so didn't have to go back down. I definitely don't feel I could have done myself justice over Skype.

@SoftwareIdeas That’s an interesting white label of Slack. Skype for Business is a terrible product and should be shut down.

We got shut down (they literally turn off the lights and then we play next point wins) at 11:00, got some food and was back on @Twitter from that point until right now. Lots of emails, direct messages, tweets, skype conversations at work, and software documentation. Normal day.

I used to use @Skype daily. I haven't been able to open it for a year - keeps crashing. Their phone support can't help Mac users and their email address is experiencing "communication failures." A voice communication tool that can't do voice nor communicate...

@SkypeSupport Half of the problem was the barrage of non-sensical questions at the start of the session. I launched the app and it wanted to update. Then it was asking me to update my avatar, and then a bunch more things. When I got to the call the audio was awful until we turned off video.

which reminds me ... @Skype holy crap, good luck detaching yourself from this inanimate behemoth. haven’t used in years, apparently no way to quit, and I have some credit I assume I’m never getting back. heard of “too big to fail”. how about “too big for customer service”.

@virginmedia It’s down again now and, according to the @virginmedia recorded message , will be interrupted ‘for short periods’ until 6pm today. Pretty unhelpful, esp as I often use Skype to speak to interviewees abroad

@SkypeSupport The network was fine for my Google Hangout just before (and is generally fine for that too - it typical measures 50Mbps up & down and is managed corporate network). I don't use Skype often, just when the other party requests it, but it typically is bad when I use it.

@SkypeSupport Hi, it has started ever since I bought the package two weeks ago, I have also checked the status within my area and there are no issues there. I need to call landlines and mobiles so I bought the unlimited package
