About Me
- The Canadian Money Reviewer
- Ottawa, Canada
- "Keeping you informed about personal finance in Canada": that's my goal! I've been reading books and experimenting on personal finance for years. I've decided it was time to share what I've learned. I also hope to learn a lot from my readers! I'm from Ottawa and I'm a software engineer who really likes everything financial :-) I really hope to help other people get to a decent retirement and avoid the financial traps that lurk here and there.

Was it just me, or was SkypeOut a little choppy?

Actually, they keep improving it. It's much better now when I use it.
What made a difference in my opinion:
- got a Linksys ct200 Skype phone
- faster Internet connection, from 3 to 5Mbps (maybe helped)
- faster computer (I used to have an old P3)
- good USB headset with microphone
correction: I now use the Linksys phone instead of the headset
I`ve been using the Linksys ct200 Skype phone for 2 months now. Early in the process, the quality was highly unstable. I kept sending negative feedback to Skype. I do not know if this has anything to do with it, but 9 out of 10 calls show very good quality.
I will pay 30$ a year and I will save money (I do not have a home phone, only a mobile.)
