Telefonica blocking Skype calls?
Anyone else have their Skype calls regularly cut off after 2 minutes. (By telefonica?) The second attempt after a minute or less then the third try to the same number seems to stay connected. Surely this is illegal under European competition laws?

I use a D-Link router but it also works OK with the Telefonica routers that I have used. I am also on Movistar ADSL.

You could try asking Skype help. Also have you done a speed check?

I have not had any of your problems. I think you might have connection problem, maybee low speed or interrupts.

The speed seems Ok. The interrupts I'd believe except that it's so predictable. First call after 2 mins (ish) second call after 1(ish) and the third attempt stays connected

As Petew said, try asking Skype or using their forum.
This is not really a Spanish issue so you could try the "Labs" forum within British Expats.

It *might* be a "Spanish issue". Since I've never had a problem on the same portable connecting in England. However thanks posters. I'll try talking to Skype.
