Bad internet connection in Qatar

Good morning ladies,

my husband arrived in Doha last weekend and is having huge problems to get a decent internet connection at his hotel. Is this a general problem in Qatar or does it depend on where you are? We would love to skype with video, so our son can see his dad, but that is just absolutely impossible.
Any ideas?

It seems to be basically all the internet, youtube, gmail, skype. But it also seems to have to do with the amount of people that are using the internet in the hotel at any given time. Thanks kiwispiers we`ll check out facetime anyways, maybe we can get a slight improvement. Thanks for all your comments, you ladies here are really helpful, I can´t wait to come to Doha and maybe meet some of you in person. Have a wonderful night!

is it all his internet or just skype? we have 10Mbps fiberoptic but skype is still abysmal, we use facetime instead.

Our internet on The Pearl is very good and have no problems with Skype...we only have 5 mega bits speed as well...must depend on your location, as Jill says and yes, the speeds will have something to do with it too...my videos do buffer quite a bit at times, but reluctant to upgrade for the time being.

Depends where you are... and how much you pay. At your home you pay different amounts for different speeds, but some locations are better than others due to the number of people on that ADSL group... Some areas have the fiberoptic cable and generally those connections are very fast. I am guessing it's just the hotel connection...
