That it happens at all is enough for me to stay _well_ clear of them.

I can't recommend anybody go within a mile of a product that works well 
for 99.999% of people, when if you happen to be the 0.001% sample you 
don't know you are until the device has silently eaten all your data.

When there are alternatives available that have 0 reports of silently 
eating data, why would you even chance it?
