which reminds me ... @Skype holy crap, good luck detaching yourself from this inanimate behemoth. haven’t used in years, apparently no way to quit, and I have some credit I assume I’m never getting back. heard of “too big to fail”. how about “too big for customer service”.

We got shut down (they literally turn off the lights and then we play next point wins) at 11:00, got some food and was back on @Twitter from that point until right now. Lots of emails, direct messages, tweets, skype conversations at work, and software documentation. Normal day.

@gnat I think it's because they're reallocated numbers with long histories of previous owners putting down their phone number everywhere. I've had a US Skype number for a decade and it still gets some rubbish (although not nearly as much)

@virginmedia been without broadband or TV for 3 days now. Your information line advises “ it’s a complex issue ...taking longer than expected”. I work from home, I NEED broadband for email, Skype and data access. It’s not bloody good enough!

@vodafoneservice at the moment is working and as you said it seems to be not general, i.e. if I go to the garden it works but inside my home office I have occassional problems; let us stay in touch because Sunday I have a long international Skype

@Tobit_Dehnen Completely agree! I was due to be down in Bristol twice in 10 days (from St Andrews...). Luckily I got accepted by the first so didn't have to go back down. I definitely don't feel I could have done myself justice over Skype.

@SkypeSupport The network was fine for my Google Hangout just before (and is generally fine for that too - it typical measures 50Mbps up & down and is managed corporate network). I don't use Skype often, just when the other party requests it, but it typically is bad when I use it.

@virginmedia It’s down again now and, according to the @virginmedia recorded message , will be interrupted ‘for short periods’ until 6pm today. Pretty unhelpful, esp as I often use Skype to speak to interviewees abroad

@SoftwareIdeas That’s an interesting white label of Slack. Skype for Business is a terrible product and should be shut down.

@OfficeSupport I don’t have the Skype app installed on that mac. And the problem only happens with Outlook on the Mac, not with the app on my iPhone or iPad. No other changes to the system prior to the issue, apart from maybe an Office auto update
