A bit less credible on a fiber link, I think.

Different OSI layers bud. Doesn't matter how reliable the network connection is if the software is still a steaming POS.

This. We use it because its included with Microsoft 365. It’s a hot pile of garbage.

I’m on fibre. Last month I had a lot of video calls on zoom, Google Meet, MS Teams and even WebEx. Google was by far the most reliable and MS Teams was frequently a complete mess with participants unable to converse and merely an observer. And every person who set up a Teams meeting with me began with a preface about the miserable experiences they’ve been having with Teams of late.

I don’t use it myself so can’t really give a good review but my window into the world of long term users would suggest that saying you were cut off wouldn’t strike anyone else as unusual.

The best internet connection in the world can’t help crappy software.

I've never had any issues with Teams other than latency can be too high. I've heard people say that it is a resource hog - maybe but I don't notice it on my basic 8GB laptop (and certainly don't notice it on my workstation).

Thing is, if you've really not been paying attention, having someone repeat the last sentence or question is not sufficient. For example you might end up making a point that had just been discussed, and end up looking clueless. What you really need is to grok the last five or ten minutes of conversation, and ChatGPT is great at that
