Crappy connection, client or provider...

Connection or provider. This is typical result of saturated line - client tries to cope by reducing quality and removing silence but still it's barely enough. We've had such problems in the past (before we've switched providers).

Could be the client too.

I've had some problems myself with Ekiga, not that it's crappy, it just works like ยค%"# with my provider (Musimi, local danish provider)... Sounds getting all choppy most of the time... Every other client works perfectly with my provider, and Ekiga works perfectly with other providers, so until it gets fixed (or until I find out why it's doing it), I just use Linphone (when I'm not at home, at home I use a HW adapter)
