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.
