Google VPN Connects: Connection Wanes In and Out

If you download and install the secure client from http://wifi.google.com/download.html, it will actually connect as you can see from the PPP configuration. The DNS resolving works fine, but TCP connections seem to drop on and off. Probably due to the high number of people that are trying to connect.

I wonder if they will try and hook this into:
