I've been using mine for a few months now connecting
exclusively to a pool of USR Couriers.  I never have a problem
at all with the modem.  As far as I can tell, I always
connected at 28.8 (using Linux most of the time).
However, the part that makes the modem a "Vi," that is
the Voice part is useless for most practical purpose.
It's not a problem for me because I bought it at a price
much lower than a regular but you might want to reasses
your selection if voice mail is important for you.
The other things people complained about here include
the volume button that doesn't work as conveniently as
with the regular Sportster, the problem at 57.6 setting
with the old 28.8 (I don't know about the 33.6).

Hope this helps.
