Who is using something other than Skype.

I have been having problems with Skype recently - I am only on
a 1 mb upload so this could have something to do with it ???
Please do not suggest turning the Video Off - I want the video
facility !!!!!!!
I also discovered yesterday that I was running Version 5.5
instead of the latest which is 5.9 and also my recommended Port
for Skype { for Next users only } had somehow reverted back to
the default setting - I will not know if these re-
modifications will help until I next use it.
So who is using something other than Skype and what are you
using ??? I do want the facility of Video Calls - so services
that are telephone services only I am not interested in.
I had a look at Google's new Talk & Video service yesterday and
despite downloading it and installing it - I cannot find it
anywhere on my Google Mail Page - any suggestions for those who
are using it ???

Continuing from my above posting - I realised after posting the
Question - that my ISP recommends a different Port to use than
the Skype default - put this in and reception has improved.
Maybe other having Skype problems may want to contact their ISP
and finf out if the recommend a different Port.
Although if you're on Iberbanda - Skype could have been
abandoned / Taken Over again - by the time they reply.
