Just like Skype... I felt like Skype was top tier before Microsoft bought it out. Voice calls were high quality, no issues.

Skype was also horribly insecure and leaked your IP which was a cause of a lot of folks in esports getting DDoS'd from it[0].

Skype resolvers definitely still worked post Microsoft acquisition.

I remember this being a problem after Microsoft acquired it. You didnt even need to call someone to get their IP. You just needed a username.

My understanding is they were peer to peer originally, and after Microsoft they got rid of that and made it more centralized. I could be misremembering though.
