Random thoughts on the world of IT
2 weeks ago, the Skype service went offline which meant that users had to apply a fix in order to get back online. Unfortunately the fix doesn't seem to be helping today's problem.
A tweet from @Skype was issued after the problems were first reported:
Recently I made the decision that I was going to stop all my services from Sky, primarily because I am no longer prepared to pay extra for TV channels that I don't watch, and 99% of those I do are now available on Freesat. I bought a Humax Freesat HD+ Recorder, tested it would work OK, and called Sky to cancel my services.
As well as TV, Sky provided my telephone and broadband services and I have been generally happy with the company over the last 5 years or so. However, I decided that I would swap all my telephone services back to BT so I could get my broadband from BT Infinity which has become available in my area in the last few months.
