  Mitja ,

I have noticed that skype drops at "irregular" intervals from some 
locations that we reach on a regular basis. We know this is bad lines at 
the other end. Some small communities may limit or time out certain 
areas. (My brother in law is a small town official in this specific area 
and he says everybody complains about it.)

If your getting it on all calls you may possibly have bad lines on your 
side. Check to see if any friends experience the same issues on other OS.
