Hi Michael I've used Skype now to call a few people on landlines, including UK & US calls. I'm finding there's a bit of a delay when conversing - not too much, but enough to disrupt the conversation regularly, and certainly lesser quality than the ordinary phone call. Still good enough for a 2.9 cent per minute rate though.
Do you get the slight delays as well when calling ordinary telephones, or have you managed to eliminate the delays?
