@Kirkaboutless And there are still police stations where is impossible to rep by Skype as they don't have laptops/ have WiFi issues

Telegram: Group chat is not encrypted, I would say worst platform. Signal: There's issue with backup while changing number. Whatsapp: Technically there is issue with new privacy policy, data safety. Still reliable than telegram. Skype: Premium, reliable and highly recommended 👌

@ChanceRisker @maxberger I would equate those to an ephemeral zoom/teams call/meet/hangout/skype call/facetime call. Phone companies are also public utilities (at least for landlines, where users often don't have choice), and users pay them. Pretty different than a free web service imo.

@D4VEH @ReochReoch @LozzaFox Family in U.K. have said that Sky is and has been down since Thursday morning. Was supposed to skype them to celebrate my brothers 21 as I can’t get over there due to lockdown, but Sky **** the bed.

@Skype Sounds great, but could you please fix all the bad programming on SKYPE, after buying the platform! You cluttered a good thing with MS junk! Did Bill Gates ask you to do it?

@danjhsn I got turned down for a viewing because I asked for a Skype viewing instead of going to see the actual house because someone lived in it already like what

@virginmedia @virginhelp For 9 months we have been having drop outs on broadband the online speed tests show the speeds to be highly variable 8-90mb. The biggest problem is the signal dropping out completely interrupting online video/skype meetings affecting home working abilities.

@thetomska We did a Skype call in which I interviewed you for a university assignment in 2018. You were very pensive and quiet until I got you talking about how bad you feel for all the problems in the world that my generation is gonna be forced to fix, or die. It was very validating.

@pumpkinkeely @Tattooed_Mummy They should be, I know smaller ones are doing home checks over zoom or Skype. It’s the home check side that’s causing issues. However they are only placing dogs locally as far as I can tell just in case they need to return to rescue.
