Things like wireless mouse and keyboards could be the culprits when you're having break ups in the sound. I don't know if this also causes echo problems, but it might be worth a shoot to disconnected any bluetooth equipment and trying the call.

Echoing occurs when you have a scenario when someone has in open mike and speakers. Voice comes out of the speakers and is picked up by the microphone. This also happens with bad headsets. Some standard PC headset will allow voice to travel out of the headset and vibrate to the mike through the boom causing a faint echo. This can be minimized by adjustment of speaker and mike volumes. When buying a headset look for one the does eliminates background noise. The easiest solution plug in your Ipod headset, and use what ever mike you want. It isolates the voice from echo nicely The loss of voice, known as packet clipping, is due to upload speed. Most everyones' download speed is fine. But in VoIP applications you need enough upload to carry your voice. echoing actually increases the upload and can adversely effect the call even more. There are products out there that can do more than 4 people in call. aveComm is one. In fact aveComm can do much more. I invite you to give it a try.

You'll find with poor quality that its usually someone with a bad or slow net connection (eg Dialup). Having said this though it is getting better than it use to be. Your other alternative is to setup a phyiscal number for people to call you on from their landlines in the states to Skype, because if its not your connection causing problems its makes it cheaper for the calls, alternatively use Skype out.
