When making international calls from Australia to NZ, it ALWAYS drops out and often even when it connects the otherside can't hear! I have spent at least $10 on all these drop outs and have had to buy a calling card as a backup as Skype is so bad lately!
Hurry up Skype and upgrade Skype for Mac to match Skype for Windows ! Slackers !!! Until this improves, I ain't spending anymore Skype credit !!!
