MichelleI have had the Franklin 680 for about one year now. I really like it. It gets the job done. Right now it is kind of slow and I have a hard time getting a good connection. That is because of the company I am with. Nothing wrong with the company, it's just the tower is kind of far from me. In other areas it works great. The card is small and does not take up too much space. Over all... I do prefer the Franklin 680 over the other cards. It is easy to install and has storage space.
