Skype Premium subscriptions include the new group video calling, which until recently was the one key feature Skype lacked compared to other Voip services. However, to get group video capabilities you’ll have to pay a premium: $9 a month. The premium plan also includes live tech support via IM. $9 a month is not much considering the alternatives. But if you’re like me you might be wondering how reliable Skype’s video conferencing is and if you can rely on it for your meetings.
I pay for some of Skype’s voice services and they can be sketchy at times in terms of quality and call reliability. I want to know if paying Skype more money for premium services promises better call quality, but it appears that’s not the case.
This in-depth review is more of an overview of the new video capabilities than a true test of call and video quality. However, the author does mention quality problems using high-end computers with plenty of Internet bandwidth. I suspected giving Skype more money does not equate to better quality, just more features, and from this review it looks like that’s the case. Read and judge for yourself whether Skype Premium services are worth the price.
