Installed Skype for the Mac last night because I got tired of the Windows Live idiosyncrasies. Absolutely the easiest install ever: download, drag and drop, done, and worked fine right out of the box. Did a 1 hour video call with no issues whatsoever. Audio was strong and stable, and video was quick enough that it was not choppy except a couple of times...

This is based on minimal (1) use, but if it is like this all of the time, I will be quite happy with it.

Skype is only relying on your internet connection.
3G is not too prefere if you want too use Skype, it's way too slow in this country, but adsl of 1Mbit and up would give you no problems

Bubbles, if you are in Udon and have an ok connection, no problem.
When in a small village and using GPRS, no way. Skype does not support GPRS and certainly not Thai GPRS.

Using both 6 Mb/s service on both 3BB and TOT, Skype was pure cr@p for most of this year, only getting better in recent months. Now, computer-to-computer is ok for about 50% of calls. Computer-to-landline is of poor quality.

Same as Rickfarang. On 3BB 6 mb service, my Skype just doesn't work. Do not know why, because it used to work about 25% of the time on mobile internet, same computer, even though that was much slower; never more than 100 kbps. For everything else like browsing, youtube 3BB is fine - unlike mobile internet when i gave up even looking at photos online.

ToT 6MB service in the sticks, and rarely have problem with Skype, either PC/PC, or PC/phone.

Even when connecting my Android phone via WiFi on Skype, the link is fine.
