Take a nap.
Between the man-in-the-middle certs it tries to force now (use a VPN that routes ALL traffic if you have one immediately after you authenticate) and the abysmal bandwidth shared by all and sundry, it's just not worth the aggravation.
Back in 2007 I could VPN in, sit on a low-bandwidth-codec audio conference bridge, RDP a remote computer, and have the skies as an extension of my office. Last week I couldn't even get GChat, AIM, or Lync to stay connected.
Get a good pair of headphones, fire up some binaural tones and try not to wake your neighbor with your snoring.
