Skype is back up and working
Friday, August 17, 2007
Did u know skype was down? A couple of days ago, I tried to login to my skype account and I couldn't. I thought it was my internet connecting but all the other things were working perfectly, so i opened Skype.com and saw that the skype software was having some problems. I also checked out Skype Heartbeat for more information on why the skype software wasn't working as it should. Just now I tried login in to my skype account and the problem had been fixed but not completely.
Hello again,
We are pleased to announce that the situation continues to improve. The sign-on problems have been resolved. Skype presence and chat may still take a few more hours to be fully operational. We know what our faithful users have been going through and we thank you for your patience and kind support.
If you are one of the minority who may still be experiencing problems, please be patient. You do not need to adjust or restart your computer. Skype will start working for you very soon.
We will issue a further update when we know that Skype is functioning normally, or if there is further material news.
We’ve commandeered extra supplies of pizza and coffee, and we can promise that the Skype people aren’t going anywhere until they’re happy that everything is back to normal.
This is the first time skype has had a serious problem since I have started using skype to make Skype out calls. Overall, skype is a very cheap way to make calls and the connection is more than satisfactory even though sometimes there is a bit of a delay.
