facebook video is better than facetime.
recently facetime just DOES NOT WORK
facebook video DOES.
my wife and I video call each other daily.
both of us are using cable connections with half decent speeds.
facetime is choppy, starts and stops and drops out.
switch over to facebook - well IT JUST WORKS !
we have also found the same to be true whilst traveling, calling
uk - australia
or
indonesia to australia
