FaceTime Hangs for 5-10 Seconds Every Call iPhone 4

I have tried FaceTime with 4 different people. I have made 6 FaceTime calls so far, on a mix of WiFi networks (corporate to home, home to home, corporate to corporate, local network)
With every call, FaceTime work for about 1 minute, before hanging for 5 to 10 seconds. When it hangs, the video stops moving, and the audio stops working. The hang up is experienced by both myself and the person on the other end.
Its weird that its this consistent - every call, every time. And it happens multiple times during a single call if the call is long enough.
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I wonder if its related to the antenna issue. Basically, FaceTime has sufficient bandwidth to work until my hand covers up the Wi-Fi antenna on the left side in the wrong way, thus attenuating the 802.11 signal and decreasing the link speed.
I will do some test to verify. It would be nice if you guys can do the same too.

Im having the same issue when I call my brother overseas, but not on any of my local calls. So perhaps the distance of the internet connection has something to do with it?
