Skype network down for 24 hours

This post was written in August 2007; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

I wondered why I couldn’t make a Skype call this morning, now all is revealed. The Skype network has fallen over and Skype is likely to be out of action for some 12 to 24 hours!

I’ve occasionally had calls drop or been unable to log in for a short period, but it’s the first time (I believe) that a large proportion of the user base has been unable to log in.

Skype have also temporarily suspended downloads of their software, so it may be an issue in the latest release.

    Quite handy when your family is on holiday in Australia….

    I wonder if those with SkypeIn will get a refund for the loss of service.

    I dunno but if you call a SkypeIn number you’ll simply get their voicemail :-(
