It's still in beta testing, but you can apply on their website and they might let you sign up. I have no idea what the service is actually like, but if they're going to compete with 5G, it had better be good.

When finished it’s going to be awesome particularly for those who live in rural areas without good service.

I hope so. I'm stuck with Hughes Net and it freakin' sucks, and it's expensive.

Good reports so far from beta testers. I'm hoping it's going to be a little less expensive when they roll it out to main stream users. Right now it's $500 for the equipment and $100 a month for the service.

$499 router plus $100 a month, only if it's the only option.

This is next generation technology. It will decrease in a few years. Antennas will improve. Power requirements will improve.

Both of you know what the early cell phones and plans were once priced at. Remember these?

Or how about dial up modems?

I'm paying $120 a month for 10mbps. $100 a month for 100mbps would be a big step up for me.
