I got the device and installed it in no time..., waited to see what happened next.
Well, only for three days, I found out that my AT&T U-Verse access (download) speed drops from 18MB/s to 6MB/s.
Not sure if I can sustain that long for a month to complete.
I will update later when this is determined. (Is $50 a good reason for me to stay with it?)

10/18/2016: more trouble if use VPN and soft-token for security access to work. It messed up my environment twice, eventually I called Digital Reflection to confirm with them. It's not compatible. Oops...

I had this internet "meter" for about 2 years, started working from home, and was unable to keep it plugged in all the time. I started receiving emails to keep it plugged in and several times replied that I couldn't have it plugged in during work hours. The reason for this is sketchy...I discovered, after longgggg attempts to fix my connection issue to my work login, I discovered that the meter was a violation of the safety/security for logging into my employer workspace. Why would it be a problem??? What are they REALLY tracking? The agreements are pretty vague, but, most likely enough to cover them. So, they finally sent me an email today that they are resigning me and my account balance would be forfeited....now after being a member for over 2 years, you'd think that $25 could be cashed out...NOPE!!! All my info and data from all that time is theirs and I get left with nothing!!!

I had joined the panel about a year or 2 ago and have made easy money. However, I always questioned it as easy money should be questioned. I have had issues with the meter but eventually after plugging it out and then back in it went back to normal. Everything was going fine until recently when my computer acted out. I had to reset it, but the meter was still plugged in. Things went back to normal for a bit, until I tried opening Chrome and it said there was a privacy issue. I clicked Microsoft Edge and it said the same thing! I have never had this issue before so I looked youtube videos but none of them worked. What I did notice, though, was that in the privacy error page it said something about an issuer certificate and it said Digital Reflection. That caught my eye, I knew it had something to do with it but by this time I managed to bypass the privacy error by changing some things of Chrome to ignore the SSL certificates or something. Then today I searched up how to fix the error but I was just furious because nothing worked. Although I changed the settings and bypassed it and was able to go to sites, the exclamation mark on top of the website bothered me. Simple sites like Twitter wouldn’t work and it bothered me because if you bypass it, security features are at stake. I didn’t like that. I also was not able to download anything. I tried installing Origin to play Sims, but nope. It said something about an error. I tried installing other things and they all said error. Probably because I was using Chrome with different settings to ignore SSL certificates in order to use my computer.

Amongst my research I decided to search up this panel and I came across a reddit thread that talked about how Digital Reflection used its logs to try and force change Someone’s FTP password and bruteforce roots (i don’t know what that means but i know that isn’t good.) They said they also sent out emails. I read the comments and I knew it is just a fishy company all along. I didn’t like that they can control your meter and also, the reason why the internet is slow is because they use it or something like that. Which is why many people say their internet is slow. Anyway, after reading this I decided no, I’m going to take it off. And so I did, and lo and behold, chrome and edge had no more privacy issues! All sites loaded and I was FINALLY able to download applications. I emailed them and told them I wanted to unsubscribe and they replied quickly saying they will send a shipment label to return the box.
My advice is to NOT use this. Sure you get money, but they control everything and can do whatever they want. Plus you are giving out your information, which at first I didn’t think much about until recent. Be careful.

I have been using the Digital Reflection meter for a year+ or so. All was fine until the meter they sent me when I joined, died. After several telephone calls for support, the company chose to kick me out because they could not diagnose the problem (a bad plugin transformer/power cable) and would not send out a replacement. At this point, I had $20 built up in my account. Their policy is not to pay out until the account reaches $50, so my money is gone. I would not recommend joining this panel.

Accused me of unplugging or turning off my device. Have done nothing then when I contact them they say it’s workng. This is frustrating.
