Hi. This speed is not that good. And I assume it is maximum speed. Probably there are times that is several times lower. Try using Skype in a time when your internet is not overloaded. For example early in the morning. This is just to test if the problem is the speed. It might be another problem.
By the way what is the problem exactly? Do you get an error or messages are delivering slowly?

Hi. Thanks for the info. I have changed the third solution to something more drastic, you can try that if you want. Also I added your solution to the last solution.

Unfortunately the problem resists.
The only way I found was to run an old version : 6.1

Hi.
Quit Skype and rename the whole Skype folder located in %appdata%. Rename it to something else and open Skype. This will force it to create a new one. All chat history and settings will be lost though.
Also run a scan for errors on the hard drive using Windows.

I am using windows 7.

This problem only started after I upgraded AVG to AVG 2014 (free version), is this connected?

Thanks
Pauline

Hi. Quit Skype and try renaming the whole Skype folder in %appdata%. (It is like step 3 but one folder higher in the tree). New one will appear when you try to log in.

I have tried the delete and rename folder options and it did not work. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall option – did not work. The same Skype login works on the same laptop on a different windows login. I have the latest Skype software. I am running windows 7.

Hi. What error does it say? What is your operating system?
