Not to mention that supernodes, though fewer in number, could still help reduce latency for those on mobile.

Not to mention that supernodes, though fewer in number, could still help reduce latency for those on mobile.
- imhoguy 8y agoThe switch from crowdsourced supernodes was mostly about link quality with: - asymetric links (ADSL) - WiFi - usage-based plans - people shutting Skype down on varous occassions, - suspended laptops, - bandwidth competing applications (video). I remember past Skype had lot of quality issues, sometimes connection was very choppy, dropped unexpectedly, or took long time to establish.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoI said this downthread, but I'd happily put up with those quality issues (and I remember them, they were real!) in return for the reduced latency.
- Causality1 8y agoCurrent Skype still has those same issues. I'm lucky if I go a day without some bizarre "I can hear you but you can't hear me" type bug or a dropped call.
