Took about 90 min for wifi to begin working. Then, once it did, couldn't switch devices. Kept asking for capcha code, which wasn't being generated (why do they even ask for this?).

While I maintained battery to use the service we had 8 download and .22 upload. Was the Panasonic kit.
Are you sure it was the Panasonic kit? The Captcha and speeds suggest it was the LiveTV system.

As for why they have the captcha, it is a long story but the short version was it was necessary to get on the market in the timeframe they needed.
