We've had good experiences with them here in Oz. Had a few that were DOA or
failed during firmware upgrade but have been replaced under maintenance. But
99% have been rock solid. In fact, had a customer primary land-line link
fail the other day, router automagically failed across to the 3G and with
WAAS in place no-one even noticed.

Not suitable for running VoIP across today but that may come (for us here
down-under, anyway) mid 2009.
