Skype Says Some Users Can Connect Again
By Larry Hendrick | August 17, 2007
Skype started working at my house at 9:30 PM (CDT) last night, and still connects this morning. It looks like they have fixed the software glitch plaguing the service yesterday.
The Skype website says the problem is stabilizing and should be completely resolved soon. That’s really good news.
My Way News - Skype Says Some Users Can Connect Again
Users of Skype in Asia and parts of Europe were able to log on and use the free phone service Friday, nearly 24 hours after a software bug hit the popular program.The company, a division of online auction company eBay Inc. (EBAY), said that while some of its estimated 220 million users had reported successfully connecting, others still were unable to do so.
In a posting on the company’s Heartbeat blog, Skype said that “even though it is too early to call out anything definite yet we are now seeing signs of improvement in our sign-on performance.”
