My Internet connection is garden-variety Verizon ADSL, I always reboot all hardware before starting and connect directly to the Westell 2600 ADSL modem via Ethernet (no WiFi).

My Skype connection usually works fine for the first three to five minutes then voice quality drops off dramatically.
I've used Skype almost weekly to record 70 episodes of the PowerPage Podcast with good results but in the past few months I haven't been able to make it work with my Verizon DSL connection at home.
