Some days ago (July 26, July 23) I observed Skype download rates of 3000 downloads per minute. Speeds are back to normal, around 500 per minute.

As can be seen on the graph (edited screenshot from nyanyan.to) the bending point of the curve is exactly on August 1 (the green circle). That is the date at which the India and Pakistan promotional campaign ended!

I hope for Skype that this has generated some new lasting customers, but I doubt it. My purchase orders data isn’t very complete or reliable, but from what I have, it doesn’t seem there was any spectacular increase in SkypeOut orders.
