It's worked out great for me in a number of places. OTOH, it was kind of dicey even without the torrents from other places. I found that bandwidth and jitter were the bigger issues than other applications I was sharing the link with. I even managed to get passable call quality (though far from ideal) calling the US on a US third party provider from my soft-phone on my laptop from Kigali, Rwanda. I think that's close to a worst case scenario, frankly. These days, voice is a very low-bandwidth service. On any decent link, it seems to get through just fine. Owen
