You will get scammed by Metropipe. After being with them for a few weeks, they drop the speed so much pages dont even load.
They ripped me off. i thought I was using an acceptable service but then i find myself having to put up with 4 or 5 kbps if i’m lucky but even if you get a bit more speed, it is not consistent. You sit there and watch a small download take hours and the speed stays on 3kbps doing absolutely nothing.
I got scammed with Findnot now I’m scammed by Metropipe! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I singed up with this service, paid them 4 three month (they don’t offer one month) and never get the service to work. they did NOT reply for any of my 5 emails. you be careful and keep your money in your pocket.
I’m using them now for 3 months I must say the speed is not bad around 2megs,but my fire wall just caught them trying a port scan and blocked it. Also very hard to connect to the net. you have to keep retring to get brouser to get their IP. real pain in the butt…. time for a new service like the defunk findnot now is called proXPN.com looks like the good old findnot…:)
I used metropipe in 2008. I payed for their vpn solution not the encrypted proxy service.
While the service was a pain to get working and sometimes it would take several attempts to connect, the service did work and provided adequate speed.
Some times I would have to reconnect multiple times to get a good speed as they seem to have multiple servers you can end up connected to.
The service does not seem to be a scam but support is non existent so pay with a system that allows you to get your money back if you can not get it to work for you.
We subscribed to Tunneler Pro on November 11 for a six month trial.
The open VPN gui installed very nicely and worked as advertised masking our two networked computers. The speed was good. We were
very happy until the week of December 12th when the service
died-just flat died. The vpn connects but the Browser times out
on all web sites.
Emails to both support and orders bounce back undeliverable.
In frustration we subscribed to ##### which came highly recommended on this web site after three days of no support.
I sent Metropipe a skype message and have not heard back. Don’t
really expect to either. The bounced emails were a clue.
In CONTRAST #### got back to us within the hour on Saturday
morning when I had a question.
Either metropipe is inept or they are ripoff artists. The pity
of it is; they were awesome while it lasted
I paid for the Metropipe VPN Service and was charged $59. but till this day I have not received the software and they have refused to respond to several mails which I sent to them. This has made me believe that MetroPipe is a scam.
These guys took my money, did not fulfill my order and refuse to answer my emails. Do not do business with them.
They took my money and did not send me the key or instructions to the download. They have not responded to my emails and i’m screwed. These people clearly are a scam; do not do business with them.
Used Metropipe pro for some years now and very happy with the purchase. Latest portable system works from my usb stick-drive on any computer. I used to be behind a very strict company firewall that blocked all sites except a few work related, Metro was able to tunnel out without any of our whizkid help-desk knowledge. Tested an IT to try find the sites I was visiting and he failed miserably, he could see bandwidth being used but not who was using it or where it was going. Now retired and living in Africa, many banks block IP addresses from Africa for obvious fraud related reasons. With Metro I am able to I-bank with ease as the IP invariably shows up as Europe or USA. As for speed, Africa is a slow 3G and even metro cannot squeeze a greyhound out of a tortoises ass, but speed is much better than without metro. I also buy the cheapest ISP rate @ 1GB/month and am able to download unlimited GB’s, which is probably not so legit, but then ISP rates are extortionate too.
