OK - I am going to flack for this because I am asking about a Window
machine, but I don't feel like hunting out the darkside newsgroups. So
here goes.

My girlfriend is in Chile and we video Skype a lot. I am living in a
house that has rather reliable 1 Mbps DSL. She has been Skyping from a
variety of places including malls and various relatives houses. Anyway,
we really cannot go more than a minute or so before her video freezes
and stays on one frame. The audio is not affected. My video from my
MacBook does not freeze on her end.

She has a netbook

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook

1.66GHz Intel N450 Atom Processor
1GB DDR2 RAM, 1 SODIMM Slot, 2GB Max
250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM) + 500GB Free Web
Storage; Chiclet Keyboard; 0.3MP Webcam
10.1-Inch Color-Shine 1024X600 WSVGA LCD Display; 802.11
b/g/n; Bluetooth Enabled
Windows 7 Starter Operating System; High Capacity 6 Cell
Battery for up to 14 Hours of Battery Life

She has the original one GB of RAM.

So my question is, what would be the most logical cause for these freeze
ups? Low RAM. slow wifi, slow processor, etc.? This machine actually
has gotten superlative review on independent sites. I do no the battery
seems to last forever.

TIA

I don't think that's fast enough.

Does she connect with other people successfully? What are their
experiences?

Indeed. Plus, what are really the actual upload and download
figures in practice.

No. She has this problem with other people and I do not.
