      Skype was good until the last hour I could use it.

      Are you confusing it with skype4biz? Two different things. Go learn.

      Anyway, yeah. It was highly-usable and very consistently good.

        No I am not confusing it. When microsoft got it they made it much worse, as they centralized all calls, were before it was p2p after the call was made.

        But prior to that, when it first started to go from skype to skype was free and it was ok. To go from skype to landline cost money. But there were plenty of other services that did that for free. I suppose it was just because we were computer savy at the time so skype didn’t seem like a big deal.

        They did do a lot of things right though. Encryption, conference calling, and a lot of devices support.

        Anyways, you know who made skype? The same people who brought us Kazaa.
