I'll run another test when I get home but way better than what I expected. Downloading on steam I pull 2.5/3 mbps.

1) Better than the alternative for me.
2) It isn't that bad. I don't game online much. The only problem I've run into is the cap...which will now be a thing of the past.

My family has a place in Amite that is using a Verizon 4G wireless thingy. Just used speedtest.net and got 23Mbps d/l, 99ms ping (that seems pretty good for wireless). I don't know what they're paying, but I know they only get ~12gigs per month before it shuts off. Would this Exede service give them good enough speeds to stream Netflix HD? Is it fairly reliable or does it have frequent outages (the Verizon setup they has yet to crap out over ~4 months of use). I know that they're happy with the Verizon service, but having free use of the Roku would be a massive benefit for them.

ETA: Nevermind, looks like the service is universally hated.

I can only speak to my experience and my dad's. He has zero problems where he lives. He's about 40 minutes from me. I have zero issues myself. Ideally I would love to have cable again but exede has been great for what it is. Customer support can be hit or miss but has improved big time in the last 2-3 months.

It isn't the best thing on earth, but they have surpassed my expectations. Streaming isn't bad but I don't do it often due to the cap.

BTW I could be wrong but our exede rep told me that this will not include Netflix, hulu, amazon prime and HBO Go, etc.

those sites will not count towards the unlimited. I hope im wrong. I will double check and post back.

I called customer service about something unrelated, and she had not heard of this plan....will this only offered in certain areas?
