Installed one temporarily for a client..., only "one or more" downside is to make sure you have all 5 leds solid

its about $42 a month which includes the service and leasing the modem. There's supposedly good coverage from kaimuki to waipahu, some of the westside, and working on hawaii kai, kailua, kaneohe and a few others. More coverage comes up everyday.

They're working on reducing the size of the modem (its about half a folder paper now). On average you should get about 1.5mbps while i've seen and heard 2.5-3 in some places.

If you want more info I've met a local reseller who might contact people interested.....and I'm considering trying to become one too

^^^ what he said. one of my business partners really hooked me up solid! i pay 1 dollar a month, for the next 2 months... after that i will pay 42/mo. so far the coverage is excellent. at least in aiea... right now i am at queens hospital in a waiting room.... 5 full lights.... i plan on using it on the road for a test on this particular product

it's a video phone that i just recieved last week- and i have another one on the way- if the coverage is good enough, i have a knight rider 2000 baby!

the guy who does the sales just called me and i got a bit of info. apparently they do have coverage from honolulu to at least my place in waipio so chuckie they should be at your door soon. the modem is wired for the time being but hopefully soon they will have a usb powered one. speeds an go up to 1.5MB but he said he has seen higher in town, up to 2MB. upload speeds are up to 256kb which isn't too bad considering. if anyone wants to know more i have the guys # so send me a pm and i'll give it to you. they are also doing a refferal program so get your friends on this. nothing huge, like a $10 gift card or something but free is free. i'm seriously considering this but i do wanna get a modem that doesn't req a power source. hope this helps someone.
