people calling me on my landline (soon to be jettisoned, yay!) through skype has been 90% of the time complete torture, between stunning levels of background noise, ruinous distortion and vocoder effect on the tin-robot voice, and signal ebb.

nightmare...

i guess i will avail myself of a skype phone, and when the engineer comes to install/test the system, i'll try out skype.

even at €100 a month including 20% VAT, it may be cheaper than what i pay telecom, if i factor in that i make a lot less calls than i'd like to, to keep the bills down.

what else shall i try out when the engineer's here? youtube for sure, and one of those websites that tells you how much actual bandwidth is happening.

any particular ones anyone can recc?

i just heard on 'click online' last night that there is a 50G free storage available from http://www.adrive.com/

woot!
