Skype P2P traffic on mobile networks: is it really being cut?

It is well known that P2P traffic is restricted by all mobile operators .
In theory, Skype should also fall under this, at least its desktop client (since mobile, according to rumors, go through servers directly without using p2p).
Since in the near future it will be necessary to determine the method of organizing video communication for subscribers accessing the network via 3G modems, I would like to learn about the real state of affairs and the experience of the public. A short test showed that the connection was quite tolerable on the part of the subscriber with this configuration. So, maybe operators have learned to detect Skype traffic and not cut it?

I found an MTS comment: Marina Akulich, MTS blog secretary, explained that we are talking about limiting torrents, and Skype and other VoIP services will not be affected ( habrahabr.ru/post/146657/)

They cut it, but Skype is switching to using master servers that are located in Microsoft data centers. Accordingly, if p2p traffic does not work, the Skype client will still work, it will simply not act as a node for its "brothers" on the network.

No, they do not cut on the beeline. megaphone, mtse and iota for the last 7 years I have always made normal Skype calls, unless of course I was sitting on an overloaded channel.
even the video on the edge was more chasing me
