VPNs are good for large corporations with DS3 and above lines. They have dedicated lines with 45 mbps up and down, very high reliability. The minimum for these lines is 2000 and varies greatly with location. Up to 12,000 dollars sometimes. For your average Amazing Charts user, I assume we use some form of residential ISPs or something like Verizon/Time Warner etc. These services advertise very high speeds but bandwith is not guaranteed and can become extremely slow during peak times. If you read your contract carefully for an advertised 10 megabit connection, it'll say something like speeds vary between 256 kbps - 10 mbps. Remote Deskstop requires very little bandwith since all the processing and database queries are done on the local computer. All remote desktop is doing is essentially updating your screen. (I don't think it uses more than 100 kbps.) Hence, why we over and over recommend it over VPN. You can even corrupt your database if your connection were to go out between locations.
We really need to sticky his ha.
