How is the 4.3 update? Stable, buggy, etc?

I've heard the S3 update had issues on several carriers.

my battery was draining really fast after the update, but after a factory reset the battery is better than before. i really like a tw rom, so when the update became available I didn't waste time to install it. the only thing i would like to do is root the phone so i can have wifi tether, but we all know that will trip the knox counter. one day i'll do it but for now no issues at all.

I've been using 4.3 ROMs on my Metro GS4 for quite a while now and IMO the improvements are barely noticed, the only reason I did it is because of my Galaxy Gear. Of course I never installed the Samsung update thanks to shabby who advised us here about Knox a couple of months before it happened. Now I have an International 4.3 (Goldeneye) ROM on my phone with Bluetooth Tether and my Galaxy Gear rooted with the Null ROM with Internet and Google Play apps working.

You must have stock recovery but If you use triangle away then unroot your phone shut off after unroot then restart in recovery and do a factory reset you should be official. If your totally over it just flash the stock 4.3 firmware I snagged from kies, shabby has it here ShabbyPenguin

i get sideload package failed when flashing update.zip
