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 admitthis. 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.
