I rarely get bad connections with Skype, and normally the quality is so vastly superior to regular phone service it's ridiculous. Friends can here music clearly in the background, it's a completely different experience.
Anyway, this is totally welcome, as Skype doesn't explain these router issues for users at all. Especially on file transfer when your file is 'relayed', I wish I knew more about what was happening, and now I do. Thanks!
