WiFi quality at T3 Plaza Lounges in DEL

I'm traveling via DEL shortly and need to schedule a video conference via Skype.

Can anyone tell me if the Plaza Lounges have video conference quality WiFi?

I'm flying CX so if someone happens to know the specific lounge that I'll have access to, so much the better!

It's usually a pain to set it up as it requires registration and log-in which is quite complex. I wouldn't count on it to work well.

Wifi in Indian airports is a joke. Bureaucratic process, slow speeds. I wouldn't schedule anything important, especially if it involves video. (However, I cannot speak of the conditions in a specific lounge.)

All lounges in T3 nowadays had out scratch cards or codes so no more registration required. The network quality is spotty and depends how many are using it.
I wouldn't count on having a good connection.

the internet speed at the plaza lounge is slow....a video skype call is unlikely to work well....

Hmm. Not sounding very promising! What about via a Vodafone mobile connection?

Plaza Premium Lounge internet is not very good for video calling.

The scratch cards still require connection through the tata docomo web page (as it is a pre-paid service) which I find confusing even with instructions.
