VOIP (Skype or Facetime) Call Quality on Fido 3G

[greensubmariner]

I was thinking about switching to a data only package. Wondering what Fido's 3G network will be like for VOIP calls. I'm in the Greater Vancouver area.

$22.00 for 100MB rather then $50.00/Unlimited Nationwide?!?!?!?

I'm not sure about the Greater Vancouver area but in Montreal, the 3G Fido 3G/3G+ data service has its good times and bad times. I've tested it with my SIP phone with Fido's 3G+ data service and there are times when the call quality is pretty good (except for the lag/latency inherit in the cellular data network which can get annoying) and other times when the quality is pretty bad (you will get skips/blanks in the conversation).
