Poor Skype call quality? Here's a tip:
Hang-up, but before you call again set you Skype status to offline for 15 seconds. This apparently forces a new Supernode to be selected for call setup and improves the likelihood for a better connection to be established.

(Qualification in the comments there: 'this scheme may work only in the minority of cases where the call is routed through media relay nodes'.)
