I use Skype to communicate with my sons, one lives in Brisbane (Aust) and
one lives in London (UK).
I have a laptop with wireless and don't have may issues.
Similar experiences to David.
The quality is reasonable but not perfect and occasionally there can be a
muffled word or two but I don't know the cause of that.
I recently used Skype on my laptop with a Sierra Air Card when visiting a
remote mining site in the North West of Western Australia, to my family in
Perth (West Aust) with a camera at each end and was suitably impressed with
the quality of voice and clarity of video.
HTH,
Norm Dennis

But now how reliable is Skype over a wireless connection? That is my main

Skype over wireless isn't bad ... I used it a number of times on a recent
UK/EU vacation to make some calls ... both to landline numbers in the states
& UK and other skype users.
The wireless I was using was actually pretty marginal, but the call wasn't
bad.
