Skype calls using mobile broadband

I have a T Mobile 3G dongle for my laptop, but have found the quality of Skype video calls to be quite poor.

Home broadband is not an option for me right now, so does anyone have experience of a mobile broadband provider thati s good for video calling, please?

My signal coverage area is quite decent as i'm in London, but the video calls are still unrealiable.

  • I know three have just doubled their 3G speeds in a lot of areas by upgrading their network to DC-HSPA.

    Test your internet speed at speedtest.net to make sure you're getting a decent speed of at least 2MB. This should be enough for a video calling.
