Well, after years on the wait-list, I got ahead of general availability by six weeks. Nice.

And now it'll be oversold, likely.

Edit: I'm still totally thrilled to have it, don't let my crankiness override that. It beats the snot out of DSL, which I was already lucky to have!

its already oversold in most parts of the US. peak perf is atrocious, with 100ms latency to the gateway.

Cost?

$150/mo and a one-time hardware cost (Dishy) of $599 for the roam package. I believe the fixed residential (where you're geofenced to a service address, although this may no longer apply) is slightly less per month.

(I have the roam package)

Yeah, mine is $120/mo for fixed

Yikes. I want to give the finger to xfinity/Comcast, but I’m paying $50/month or possibly less.

I would recommend championing municipal or coop fiber for your use case.

It’s not for people that have access to cable internet (or better).
