I will grant you that I only use it on a network not via internet.

To my utter regret; this isn't true; while I use it a lot at work and
performs great, VNC is beaten by Terminal server if the connection is slow
such as a 56k modem;

The reason for this is simple: TS sends Windows' primitives drawing code.
basically 'draw a line from to' etc, while VNC sends a bitmap pattern.
which take more bandwidth...

If you don't use many graphics etc. then TS beats VNC by a long way in such
situations.

Just for the record :)
