Anyone have it? I just got mine tonight, I'm on the "Best Effort" plan, which basically means I get less speed, and Throttled if the network gets busy. So far, an hour in, It seems to pretty fast. Hope my place in line to get the normal speed isn't too far off.

We're on Best Effort too, for about 3 months now. No complaints at all, I don't get hung up about speed tests and all because they'll vary widely. Where the rubber meets the road is what counts, and we can actually use our Fire stick now for something besides an ornament. We probably stream 70 percent of our TV, my wife especially, and no problems. Maybe three times we got the spinning wheel of death briefly. Personally, going from a crappy cellular internet to this is like a Model T to an Escalade. If it gets no better it's 10000 percent better, and we have zero other options.
Good to hear. My Verizon Hotspot had great speeds, but constantly lost connection with my Ring Cameras, and didn't have enough power to get the WIFI to my WIFI thermostat in the barn. I like to be able to get the head going remotely.

I guess the heater can't handle 2" per hour snow. This was my first outage for about 5 hours. In its defense my satellite TV out too until I wiped the dish of the snow.
