skype calls are dropping all of a sudden
hi all,

Just moved to my company staff house where I've been using skype on a wifi router BT broadband without problems for several days.
It's now been a week that I can't have a decent connection with skype: the calls are dropping all the time, every minute the call ends.


Could this depend on how many people are connected and downloading?
Where do I start troubleshooting?

thank you very much
number
