Well TG, I ran the setup program last night (it takes an hour or two) and I've just started using it today and download speeds seem similare but Quake reports an improvement in ping times (about 20-30%) and is certainly more smooth. As ping times are important for loading web pages too but Quake makes it much easier to see if the pings are consistantly better. As for the unistallation, it wouldn't be needed as it uses its own dialer and doesn't alter your dial up networking settings at all. Also Zone Alarm hasn't asked if MB can have acces to the internet so I don't think it is sending any "Market Research" to the MB server. Seems to be quite good but it's only a 30 day evaluation. When that time is up then I'll consider if it's worth paying for although I don't know how much they want for it. Try it and see as there doesn't seem to be a downside. Hope this helps TG
It's not the destination that counts but the journey.
