    Yes it would but it may drop often, quality issue, it depends on the day. I have used broadband to broadband and the quality has not been good and I have used it on dial up and it has been good and the other way round too.

    It also depends on the bandwidth too.
    If you think it will take more than 3 hours to fix a software problem it is probably quicker to reinstall windows. 30 mins to install windows, 2½ hours to reinstall all your nice software

    When you are on about Skype:[1] can you have Skype and Windows live Messenger at the same time . [2] Which is better ?
  • Can't see why not, video vs voice, voice is much less bandwidth intensive.
