It is never a good idea to make any upgrades in December. Yet I see why companies do it, indivduals want to implement the project before year end so they can show it as an accomplishment during their annual review. Geeeesh, going forward don't "F" with Christmas/Hanakuk. NO CHANGES in DECEMBER. I am a paying customer as well as an avid Skype to Skype Customer. I'll never forget the HUGE Fiasco when they could not properly proccess payments and were cutting off customers and not allowing them to buy minutes. Thankfully THAT is over, but now this. Ya know Skype you need beer roll out plans, with back up plans to roll it back.

My wife and I are together because of Skype. We had a several year long distance relationship and being able to talk to each other everyday helped us make it though without breaking the bank in long distance call charges. Today our children talk to their grandparents all the time over skype. It's cheap, fairly good quality and has been a lifesaver for us. Keep up the good work Skype. It's rare to see a company doing so much good for so many people.

Thank you skype.. Now all the big shot complainers please switch to another service. Take your great judgement and wisdom elsewhere. All reasonable people recognize what we have here and were grateful for it.
In the age of unbridled greed skype offers communication to millions in the world for free or pennies a minute.
I use it often and it is reliable.. I will not allow this hiccup in service to change my mind.

Shame on those naughty Skype electrons that chose Christmas to misbehave. Just a few years back it cost me $93 to contact relatives in Kenya at Christmas time … and my tribe hung up before I, the bill payer, even got to talk. But now, my contacts around the world maxes out Christmas cheer. Thanks Skype

Rubemuch, your are right, I am very spoiled, I go to work and earn my money. If the customers of the company I work for do not receive the level of service they purchased, then their loyalty and continued patronage are at risk.

Now that you have straightened me out on this matter, the next time my company falls short of meeting their obligations with our customers and the customer complains, I will inform the customer of their 'spoiled' nature and immediately accuse them of not wanting to help others.

In my new enlightened state, I think Skype needs to take the rest of the year off and not worry about getting the service back up. As a matter of fact, I think I am going to start donating money to them above and beyond my purchased services just because of this incident.

Rube, your wisdom and discernment has profoundly changed this spoiled man's life, THANKS!!

I am a supporter of Skype and I will continue to do so in the years ahead. The company offers an outstanding product!!!. The company has saved me thousands of AUD Dollars over the past 3 yrs that I have been with them. THe other TELCOS should follow SKYPE'S example. I will continue to support and subscribe to SKYPE>

I agree Skype is a pretty reliable service and they have and are doing all that they can to make things right. Haters stop complaining. Where in the hell will you find great service for less than 3.00 bucks a month?

I wish my TV cable company (Comxxxt) offered such client friendly responsive acts when their service goes down.

Skype should be named the invention of the century to serve mankind freeing the world from the telecom bloodsuckers, especially for the developing world. Skype is the Oxygen of the Internet.

I give Skype my money and as such don't give them a 'break'. Even though they are the budget choice when it comes to long distance/international calling, I still expect the service to be reliable and consistent. I hope Skype uses this experience to better the service and fix other weird anomalies they have.

It's easy to complain about a service when it does, let's be honest RARELY fail. The situation wasn't brought about deliberately by some malevolant Skype executive. Things happen. And they're doing their best to maintain what is after all, a commercial service. It's in their interest to have happy customers, after all. Give them a break!

I agree. Compare to AT&T and others. $2.99 per month without using mobile minutes, just by using data plan. You will never run out of minutes. Fantastic service. Way to go!!!!

Thank you skype, we are greatfull for all you have done to the communication world, I remember the $1.3 dollars per minute and the current $2.49 per minute roaming rate when I travel to the middle east.
Talking to relatives in africa for FREE using skype to skype, relatives calling from africa and seeing their loved ones for FREE is just amazing.
No need for voucher, no need for apologies Skype, we owe you so much, thank you, thank you and than you for all you have done.
