In june my subscription to windstream internet expires. I am going to go back to cable internet and skype + skype in.

Has anyone used this? Is service good? Sound quality?

Believe it or not I use Skype portable to chat to friend and it works great but dont use headset as you get alot of feedback/echo best to get a webcam with a buitin mic . Picture is only as good as the line of the person on either side .

Goodluck.

Havent been able to get a working skype addon for nlite yet as the ones from this forum didnt work for me. I just made an sfx with winrar addon to send my portable skype to desktop so I didnt get the readonly problem. Can upload my skype portable addon for you if wanted is version 2.5.0.146 as I dont like to mess with versions If one works for me.

That would be great. I dont think they have a local area code for my area yet.

I've been using Skype for over a year i believe and i have to say, it's a very good program. On land-line and non-land-line connections(using SkypeOut), the quality is better than the quality that i get from my regular Phone.

When i talk to another Skype user through Skype, the sound quality is crystal clear. My mom talked to her friend in Bulgaria(we're currently living in California) yesterday and the sound was really incredible.

Skype works good for me too.

There is an msi available that should be easier to make into an addon

also a portable launcher is available here:

I agree with what has already been said. I have used Skype for well over a year now and I love it. Sounds great and have had zero issues when using it.
