Skype Problems Still Ongoing
The internet call provider Skype is still suffering from outages after a hectic few days, where all Skype users were effected with connection and lost call issues.
Skype claim that they are now back to about 80% of their call traffic from a typical day for them but that they have had to install new servers and systems to get back up and running.
They blame the outages on a software problem although many are wondering, after the wikileaks drama, if there hasn’t been some attempt to disrupt the service by outside influences.
Skype was launched in 2003 and has been building it’s users at a fast rate. It claims that at peak times there are 23 million people now using the service around the world.
In the first half of 2010 there were 88.4 billion minutes of free skype to skype traffic, 40% of which were video calls.
