I just renewed for another year with MJ. The service during the first year was virtually flawless. It has been one of the easiest devices to setup and use that I have ever owned. Plus, I dropped my two Verizon land lines and saved more than $1,000 over the past year.

I have had both the ups and the downs with MJ.

I have had dropped calls, and calls that started out fine and then went to where I could hear them but they could not hear me. I've had choppy calls and calls that would not connect.

MJ, in my opinion, likes a wired connection to the modem or the router, and it likes a computer that is clean and running XP.

I have had NOTHING but misery with wireless computers running MJ.

But as soon as I hooked it up to a 2.9 mghrtz machine which was WIRED to the internet, and I was using a wired phone as well?

It was crystal clear.

I have used it lately and it works fine!

My bro-in-law ..on the other hand, just plugged his in and it worked.

Those that have bad experiences are a result of:

1) Outdated and underpowered PC
2) Not using cable internet (using DSL or dialup (gulp!)
3) Using Wireless

If you fall into one of those 3 categories, dont use MJ.

DSL is considered HIGH SPEED INTERNET. Wireless is considered HIGH SPEED INTERNET (I'm using it without a problem). Dial-up is the ONLY configuration that won't work with MJ, according to MJ. Thin Clients with MINIMAL MEMORY are using it, although upping memory is always recommended.

Do your research first, nitemare, before shelling out info that could cause others to come to incorrect (and relatively expensive) conclusions about their systems.

I should've said "Wi-Fi" instead of Wireless. You're just plain mean, Joe. Wink

You're right, satellite (HughesNet, etc.) should definitely be on the "too slow" list. It was slightly better than dialup, at least in my area.
