Aggregate ratings are mostly in the five-star category, with a smaller spread across lower ratings. This suggests generally favourable reported sentiment, but ratings alone do not establish why customers were satisfied or dissatisfied. They do not verify the claimed video, talk, privacy or cable performance, so consider whether the plug-in setup and separate subscription requirement fit your needs.
