Crappy Skype

I just had a teleconference back to Canada (Internet to North American telephone bridge) that I signed into using Skype. It was the worst call I've ever had with Skype. After 3 attempts to call in, I could finally hear the conference but they could hear very little (less than 20%) of whatever I had to say. There was also lots of static (sounded like thunder) and noises like people talking under water.
Has anyone else noticed a deterioration in Skype quality from Doha?
Can anyone recommend a better option (without dialing direct and giving Qtel 2QR a minute)? Is Vonage any better?
My skipe is kaput since one month... It used to be the best, clear, Fast and cheap.
Now its has to much noise and static :(
The Venezuelan Sensation!!!
You can't teach experience...
Even skype has its bad days, doesnt mean it sucks, or may be u need to check your internet connection.

Did you try Yahoo sometimes is better, but skype is also good.
It might be that your connection isn't fast enough.
Never had a bad quality call...
Sometimes the quality is even better than calling local....looool.
