Bad connection on Skype To Go

I have a world package as well as a Skype to go. When I am calling a colleague in Holland (I am from Denmark) and I am using skype on my computer, I always have a good connection. When I am using the Skype To Go number for the same person in Holland - 50% of the call have a bad connection with a lot of "wind" noice on the line. Any good ideas on what could be the problem.
Thank you in advance
Regards
John

  • Bad connection using Skype on Ipad and IMac

    I have skype on my imac and on my ipad. I am trying to skype someone who is using my ipad in Spain. last night we spoke easily and it was very clear. Tonight it is really bad, with what seems to be a lot of interference and also breaking up. Using WiFi at both ends. I also updated my version of skype on my iMac, this evening before calling? Any ideas, very much appreciated x

    That is probably the nature of Skype. Generally when I use it which is at least twice a week it is reasonable, other times excellent and others very poor, with dropped calls and frozen video.
    If you both have good internet connections, i.e you both can connect to other web sites OK then it is just the way it is sometimes.
    Unless of course any body else can suggest other ideas to help.

  • When in group chat, skype has bad connection and games lag

    Okay so I have searched almost every related post and cant find this exact issue and ive tried all the standard stuff to fix internet issuesWhat happens is So I moved to a new house and had no internet for 2 weeks starts may 20th about, and we got internet around june 5th. Ever since then when I join a group call with my 5 local friends Ive been in a group call with for 4 years i have bad connection and when i play online games it lags. It use to affect my internet browser, google chrome by making stuff stop loading but that isnt the case anymore. I have tried many things. Like recently I join skype group call and it seems to be fine but once i join their terraria server both skype lags and terraria and I end up losing connection. I have a theory but there still a lot of variables. Whenever my one friend is in the group call i lag a lot more than I usually do, but not everytime, and sometimes i still lag when hes not in the call. Its also him hosting the terraria server where its really bad. It has been like this for other games too though and I have tried many solutions. I feel like maybe its a bandwith thing but i get over 100 mbs download speed and around 15 mps upload speed and low ping. I can also download 2 games and play a online game with 0 problems but once skype is involved it becomes terrible.I really would like a fix, I have used skype forever and I dont think my friends really wanna use anything else.I got windows 10 about a week ago, the beta, but it did it on windows 7 too.I have also tried downloading older skypes but it keeps downloading the newer one automatically even with automatic updates off.Also when I lag on skype the little refreshing/connecting icons comes up and I lag to my friends, but I never hear them lag.

    If you are swapping out operating systems and nothing is changing then the variables you need to look into are: 1,  Your wired/wireless connection.  Try wired if going wireless as you may have issues sustaining a good connection with the myriad of ports Skype uses.  This can be due to distance, interference or other factors. 2,  Try bypassing your router and go directly connected to your modem (if possible).  Issues with the router firmware, its configuration or the limitations of the  router itself could be causing bandwidth related issue.  Going wired to the modem would be ideal.  3. You can try disabling/enabling uPnP in your router to see if that makes a difference.  Some routers handle uPnP well, others have performance issues with it.  4  Cable modem/Line issues -  You could have stability issues due to the quality of the modem based off standard/tier.  You could have line conditions that affect upload/download stability or both, under load. I've had issues with Skype that were related to my wireless router firmware.  I've also had to swap out my modem to a more compatible and higher tier one (twice) when my ISP performed infrastructure changes.

  • Bold 9930 no longer connecting to Skype

    I can no longer connect to Skype since recent changes. I have downloaded and installed the latest app version available from Verizon, but everytime I connect I get an error stating that the "Connection failed. Please check your connection settings and try again."
    This was the download I used: http://mobile.vzw.com/download/Bourbon/BB9930/Skype_mobile.jad
    Any ideas?

  • Thunderbolt to FireWire adaptor/Bad connection?

    Has anybody had the same matter as I have? Please let me know!
    'Thunderbolt to FireWire Adaptor' I bought doesn't properly fit in the Thunderbolt socket of my Macbook Air (that Thunder mark on it).
    It does a half of it and doesn't go deeper. I'm sure any info of photos and videos I saw online that people uploaded look it fits in all, but mine doesn't.
    Is this normal? One I found on Apple Support Community says
    'Be wary of the bad connection with the adaptor though, it falls out with the slightest movement.'
    It sounds like talking what the same I have. If it's so, I can use it even it properly not goes in? or I can claim the tech support?
    If anybody knows info, please let me know! Will appreciate it. Thank you!!

    Yikes, that's sad to hear.
    I can't test it, no TB here, but are all these drives self AC powered, ie. no bus powered drives?

  • I cannot connect any skype accounts on my Eurostar...

    Hello.  I have tried for a number of days now to connect 'preloaded' skype on my Eurostar Smart TV.  I have used my existing account details and also tried with my Microsoft account, but no joy.  I have also tried to create a new skype account on my tv.
    All these things respond with the message 'cannot connect to skype at this time, please check your mobile settings and try again'.
    I am connected to my wireless router and have a good internet connection.
    Can anyone help?  This TV was bought for my kids playroom so they can skype their grandparents as we live a long way from home.
    Thank you

  • Client not associating to closest AP bringing bad connectivity

    Hello,
    We have installed 40 AP in our building, thus using Cisco 1010/1020 Ligthweight AP and 4400-50 series Contollers.
    In some places, the laptop connect sometimes to bad signal AP instead of the one beeing vary close, thus bringing vary bad connectivity.
    Any Ideas or Advice to customize the system to solve this issues?
    Thanks.
    Gael

    Hi thanks for the info,
    The connection utility change for most of the people (its a open Wifi)
    Actually I could improve by 2 ways.
    1. As you said, the client -> when possible I made sure to have the last driver.
    2. Frequency control -> I used Airmagnet, it helped a lot to see where conflict could occur.
    Thanks

  • I just got my iPad and the iMessage was working and than all of a sudden it stopped and when I tired to log back in, it said I had a bad connection which I didn't. So it won't let me use my iMessage

    I just got my iPad and the iMessage was working and than all of a sudden it stopped and when I tired to log back in, it said I had a bad connection which I didn't. So it won't let me use my iMessage

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Can't Connect To Skype Server

    Currently trying to connect to skype and I get stuck on signing in, and it attempts this for a while until it eventually will tell me skype can't connect. I have upgraded to the latest version of skype and I don't have an active firewall, can anyone help?

    Try the following: Reset Skype policies/proxieshttp://www.pcdust.com/Downloads/PolicyFix/PolicyFix.exe  To reset your Skype local configuration  (doesn't affect history) check "add shared.xml" and click "Clear Skype names".  Make sure Skype is not running when you do this.http://www.pcdust.com/Downloads/ListFix/ListFix.zip 

  • Giving permission for apps to connect to skype ver...

    I have skype version 5.5.32.124.
    I would like the facility to record my audio calls to other phones, and so i downloaded a number of apps that do this (e.g. g-recorder, call burner)
    They all require that I give permission for the app to connect to skype. They instruct me to connect to skype and to look for the authorisation message (near the top of the window), stating for example, "callburn.exe wants to use skype" with two buttons "allow access" and "deny access". I obviously need to "allow access" to be able to use the app.
    Only problem is I can't find any such message in my skype window. I've also investigated tools/options/advanced and looked for anything that lets me switch on the facility for external apps to connect to skype. Can't find anything!
    Can someone help me??
    Thanks
    Elisa

    Hi, echamicastaldi, and welcome to the Community!
    I am a Win7 PC, so I see the text which I circled in orange in the screen shot, below; do you?  Since there are versions 5.5 in both Windows and Mac, I think it would be helpful to learn which platform you are using Skype on as resolving the issue may be dependent upon the version of Skype.  Also, in both cases of 5.5, these versions are dated; resolving the missing text may be as simple as updating to the most recent version of Skype and ensuring your computer is fully updated.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • After updating to ios7 my 4S keeps dropping calls and having a bad connection?

    I recently received a refurbished "like new" 4S from Verizon, which was working fine until I did the ios7 update.  I did a network reset and that didn't help, and then I did a hard reset and still the same problem.  Is this a phone issue? or a Verizon issue? I've heard of other Verizon customers having the same problem.  Everytime I make a phone call I have bad connection and then the call just drops.  In places, I used to have a 5 bar signal, I now have 2. What else can I do to fix this?  

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde
