Skype is bandwidth hungry so it can get choppy. The limiting factor is either your upstream (upload) performance or your PC, or a combination of both!

Try disabling antivirus/firewall and give skype a quick test, might be the culprit.

Otherwise have a look at your system load (task manager - performance). Maybe you are running low on free memory or not enough CPU power.
