Hi Husna,Well speaking from my own experience, I'd sum it up as being useful to have and sometimes stable, but not to be totally counted on, especially for listening to streams. I've found it ok for getting my e-mail most of the time, and usually ok for browsing, but have given up trying to listen to streams on it.
How good it is, apparently, depends on lots of factors, like where you have the router positioned, what other activity's going on in the area, how far away you try to use it etc. I have my router pretty high up and have found the connection much improved since then. But sometimes I still do get problems like the signal dropping all together every few minutes and this is without moving the router or the computer. But at other times it's usable for getting my e-mail and browsing.

As a result web pages would eitherloadslowly or not at all, files would either be downloaded as a corrupted copyor download very slowly or even not at all, e-mails would take longer to send/receive or even have problems connecting to the server in the first place, and things like that. This is what my friend has been experiencingatcollege. Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Turner" <catherineturner2000@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 9:44 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Warning about AVG and other Anti-virus packages > Hello Chris, > > Thanks for the info/warning, but what do you mean by an unstableinternet> connection? > > Catherine > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <blind-computing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; > <blindtech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 3:07 PM > Subject: [access-uk] Warning about AVG and other Anti-virus packages > > >> Hi all, >> I know this may sound blatently obvious, but I thought I'd warn youall,>> thanks to a friend, that if your connection(s) are unstable, this may >> cause >> whatever antivirus you're using to Fail.
