Just curious if anyone's signed up for Starband or had it installed yet. It looks pretty stellar. Even though I use a cable modem, this is a tempting switch to get Internet and satellite programming from the same provider. Though it is like $300-$400 out of pocket...

Realize that they only guarantee 150kbps down and 50kbps up. I suspect thier speeds will be faster, but even thier fast speeds are pretty slow compared to DLS and Cable.
Doesn't look 'great' now, but it's certainly something to keep an eye on.
