Comment

I am half of a VSME. The other half of the partnership (my brother) spends most of his time in Slovakia and Ukraine.

We went Skype and have saved between us £400 per quarter on comms. Furthermore we communicate much more regularly and often with video and live file transfer.

There have been problems with quality - video tends to degrade the audio through lack of bandwidth and excessive latency - but the overall QOS gets better by the day.

I never use the baseband line for business calls.
