Not exactly stellar, but better than the fixed wireless that was the 
best I could do out in the desert (1.2Mbps down, not enough up to 
notice). Then again I remember 2400 baud dialup, not so fondly... tho 
Wedgie still has that modem ($5 at DAK's going out of business sale).

Geez. What's to complain about? I do wonder if sometimes the connections 
overrun the capability of the equipment, especially with WiFi, and that 
causes dropout.

We old timers know how to optimize! :D

I pay $45/mo and only because I griped at CenturyLink until they offered 
me a please-don't-leave special. :(  AT&T doesn't offer service here, 
other than cell, for which Verizon is better (there I pay anything I 
care to above $5/mo., used up at a rate of $2 for each day I use the 
phone, unlimited minutes.)
