There are several reasons for the connection being dropped, or for low sound quality (choppy audio, echo, latency, etc.) or failure to connect at all. One of them is that some networks can be more busy than others, during popular events; the connection problem may go away when you try calling a number in Austria again. Sometimes, calling a number in Austria can take more than one attempt to connect. Please note that you are charged the moment you call an access number and not when someone picks up the phone. Another factor may be that, not all providers of cheap international calls, listed on this website, maintain the same quality of service. Even though the connection is terminated with analogue phone lines, the connection in between is supplied by VoIP. During busy times, providers may be tempted to squeeze more calls through the same internet bandwidth, thus reducing the quality of the audiowhich results in various digital artefacts of the sound, mentioned earlier.
