I use Skype with video very frequently with my ds in west coast USA, often for up to an hour. Occasionally it pixilates but usually rights itself in moments. I'm using a desk top computer, ds uses lap top so we can get a full view of his living room and dgs aged 2.... love it.
However, other ds tells us that Face Time is better and more reliable.
I am also not very technological and sort of 'go with what I already know'
