My experiance is that I received it and within 1 day cancelled it. Lots of problems canceling. The bottom line is that the effective speed for https, whcih is what I run for working from home, is slower than a 56K modem with disconnects. Regular browsing is a little better than a modem but not much; sometimes even slower. The only thing it did fairly well, compared to a modem, was download of large files, which was about 336Kbps if I recall properly. Forget VPN completely; they even admit this. All for the low low price of your first born: each month. Tech support: forget it. Actually, I can't for the life of me undertand how they get away with the advertising or the product. At best it just isn't any good. At worst, its the big lie theory.
Sorry, i have nothting goods to say and don't know anyone who does, including Consumer Reports, if that menas any tning.
