skype VOIP has been sucking lately...anyone else agree?

This article in techworld indicates that Skype users are getting driven away.  Is the network too saturated?

I use Skype a lot for both IM and VOIP, but I must say, the last few weeks, the VOIP call quality has been pretty, well, for lack of a better term, piss poor.  This has been from various network connections in various places in the world.  It used to be much more consistent for me.
