As I recently told a salesman in Carphone Warehouse, there is no barge pole
long enough for me to use to touch them. If anything goes wrong, they are
diabolical. I had an appalling time setting up a client's connection. When it
works, it is apparently great - but the problems arise when something goes
wrong.
But it is cheap, and if you can solve all your problems yourself, and have a
lot of patience if it is something like their DNS that seems to be the
problem, then you might be happy!
