My SO and I are regular users of Skype so I thought I'd throw my two cents in.
It's VERY dependent on your Internet. Skype is a bandwidth hog! Like the others said, there are good days, and there are bad days. If he's at uni, his video is good most of the time, but when he's back home, he shares it with his entire family so it sucks. Audio is usually fine though sometimes it goes wonky and I go "huh?" every few seconds. If that's the case then we just type until the audio clears up. I'm willing to put up with bad video, as long as I can see my SO, which is why we've persisted in using Skype. We would have used MSN instead but because he's using a Mac, his MSN can't do video calls.
