Italy USB Modem and Skype

Citrix Trainer · **Italy USB Modem and Skype -** 07-08-2010, 17:23

Hello everyone. Thanks for offering this great resource!

I'll be headed to Naples for work at the end of August for about two weeks. I'll need good, reliable internet access so I think one of the USB modem options will work best for me, along with one of the data-heavy plans. Those plans are covered elsewhere, so I do not need an explanation of those.

Occasionally I would like to make phone calls via Skype. Do any of the carriers specifically block VoIP traffic? I've seen notes that it is usually not supported, but that does not mean that it's specifically blocked.

Does anyone have any specific recommendations on which modem to use and carrier for Skype compatibility? If I had to guess, I would think most carriers should have good coverage in Naples as long as VoIP is not blocked.

Thanks!
Mark
