Nice review messmer, I had been thinking about joining this site some time ago, but never did, I guess I thought they had the mosaic or something. I always wonder why japanese sites always have so many of those weird vibrators around.

Pros:
Some newer videos are much higher quality, the newer stuff is typically 720x480 (1800 kbps) with some stuff that is 1280x720 (5400 kbps)
Jordan has always been one of my favorites, although I don't find her quite as cute as I used to.
There are plenty of cute girls
Download speed is pretty good
My download manager worked for the photo sets, but not the video set. Could be a problem with my settings.
All exlusive content, I think. Including exlusive models.
Cons:
Very few updates, I believe they did a couple of newer scenes with Jordan in 2008, but the vast majority of content on Jordan's site is much older (2003 or earlier)
Expensive
None of the other Lightspeed Network sites appear to be updating anymore. The "New" sets of Nella and Belicia were clearly from the early 2000s.
Still cylcles sets as "new updates" when they clearly aren't. Supposedly this is to keep it fresh, but I find this dishonest. The sites are just floating on all the old content they collected years ago.
Navigation is terrible.
Photo quality is typically mediocre, especially the older sets. New stuff is 2000x1400, older stuff is 800x600.
Camerawork in both the photo and video sets is pretty crappy.
Bottom Line:
I think this was the first pay site I ever joined, and the women on the site are attractive. I had heard there were recent sets of Jordan added last year, so I figured it was worth a look. I was a bit dissappointed at the quantity of newer sets, however the quality is better.
Maybe worth joining for a month if you have never joined this site before and are into Tawnee Stone or Jordan Capri or several pretty popular euro models from the early aughts (Nella, Veronika J, Belicia) when they were younger.
Almost entirely softcore solo and "soft" lesbian, the euro models all have some toy action as well.
I probably would have given this site a lower score, but a lot of the sets I have from this site - even with the crappy quality - still rank amongst my favorites.

Pros:
-Good quality videos from a technical perspective
-Lighting is typically good
-Many attractive, mostly eastern euro women
-Videos tend to be shorter, and smaller (may be a negative to some)
-The action is generally pretty good
-Download speeds are excellent
-Download managers work (DTA)
-Reputable biller (CCBill)
-No ads on any of the main pages or model pages
Cons:
-Navigation is annoying, not sure why they use a random screenshot for the model profile pic instead of a headshot (sometimes it is like their leg)
-Camerwork is pretty odd, feels like they are trying too hard. You aren't trying to win an Oscar for cinematography, you are making porn
-Lots of weird pans and zooms, weird ways of framing shots, hang too long in certain areas, odd editing
-Not a super large site, ~600 videos
-Updates seem kind of random, 2 or 3 a week (total including videos and photos)
Bottom Line:
One of many glamcore sites these days, for some reason the last one I ever joined. Not really sure why, just never got around to it. Personally, I think X-Art, Wow/AllFineGirls do a better job, and probably give you more value. Not the type of site you should join if you are looking for harder content, there is hardcore, but it is typically much softer than most sites, very little anal, very few facials, more just relatively natural sex.
I kind of liked this site, I think it has the potential to be pretty good, there are just some weird things they do. The main issue I have is the camerawork, it is almost always panning or zooming somewhere. There is nothing wrong with just framing the action and sitting there. There certainly are some attractive women, and they do a good job with lighting and picking scenes and outfits. For me, they just kill it all with shitty camerawork. It is kind of hard to explain the problem, best I can say is imagine you are getting into a scene it looks nice and all of a sudden the camera guy just starts randomly zooming and panning all over the place, just distracting and you end up skipping around the scenes too much.
Other than that main complaint, the regular photography is very nice, the models are definitely attractive, although not very diverse in build or ethnicity. Maybe worth joining if you have already tried the other, better sites in this genre, but given the update rate and relatively small site, I doubt you will stick around for long.
No problem, is there a way for me to delete this comment? sort of pointless to keep it there? I will edit it to say nevermind, but can't figure a way to get rid of it.
I have never really considered joining a Jules site, the stuff I have seen of his always seemed a bit too 'hard' for me, but perhaps I should consider it, as most of the recent places I have joined have been pretty disappointing...
I agree, any site with sketchy cancellation processes is a poor site in my mind and I would skip it. Although, I would skip it anyway given the content...
I could see piracy being an issue for smaller sites certainly, but I got to admit this particular site would have a very hard time proving that as a reason for decreased revenue (no updates in years, dated and annoying navigation, stupid price structure), in this day if you make a junk site and don't update, everyone knows about it. Back in Lightspeed's heyday, they may have gotten away with it, but surely no longer.
After checking with support, they do allow downloads, just not for the discounted price they offer old members (for what they call full access). I guess you have to pay full price for that, but from a quick review they haven't added any new material in at least a few years.
For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to join this site again to replace some of the material I accidentally deleted recently. What a damn mistake, I expected it to all be recycled content, but they appear to have removed all downloadable videos and zips from the site, making the price absolutely absurd. Oh well, lesson learned, hope no one else makes the same mistake I did.
yeah, I was planning on joining it years ago, but somehow never got around to it, guess I should have back then, at least it would have been a better deal.
Just thought I would point out that there are no longer any free bonus sites here. I guess they changed it in the last couple of months since the TBP review. Given that, and the fact that this material doesn't appear to be all that new and at least some of it isn't exclusive, this site is far too expensive to be worth joining.
I was also impressed with this network, perhaps more so as I was expecting it to be a BangBros-style crapfest. Still don't get the ridiculous fake penis thing on the one site, and not even sure why they have the real ex-girlfriends site (as they are clearly all pros) - they could probably just throw those scenes in anywhere else, as I doubt anyone is buying it.
Nice review rearadmiral, too bad they don't have a better preview. Also, I tried clicking on the TBP link and got the 9.99 price, so apparently it has been updated.
Curious review omberman, like others I think it is a site full of quite attractive ladies, but I guess you must have different tastes than mine. I would agree that the site in general is lacking perhaps in "sexiness" in favor of "artfulness", your score does seem overly harsh and perhaps just didn't have what you were looking for?
