The connection was hit and miss

[alpacinou]

Can I use "hit and miss" in the context of talking about internet connection?

Are these okay?

1. The internet connection was hit and miss and I couldn't attend the online meeting.

2. I called her on Skype and the video and the sound were a bit hit and miss because of the low speed of the internet.

If that doesn't work (and I feel it doesn't), what idiom can I use instead?

It's OK, although, as you can see above, we pretty much always use "a bit" before it.
