But please don't tarnish us all with the same brush! The VoIP system we offer has been designed from the start for business users. To be fair to Skype, they are not a business service - and have never tried to replace your telephone - just compliment it. Trouble is, so many people equate VoIP = Skype = Business VoIP Service. It gets used for business critical functions and then we all suffer when it goes wrong. Here's hoping they fix their problems soon... Hey Ewan,
