VPN over slow Internet connections

Nothing like getting into the groove, then losing your connection, waiting for the modem to dial back up
and then try to figure out what you were just doing!!! Again, it goes back to what I mentioned, it "could" work
but how will that affect your overall productivity.

Is over the air 3G or 4G not available? I'm assuming that modem is being used because broadband is not in the area....
