I am not completely happy with the air card yet, but it is ever so much better than dial up -- chances are it will get even better. The difficulties you experienced sound typical of start up problems, so hopefully those neighbors who held out for BPL will be rewarded. But I am glad to be spared that difficulty! It will be very interesting to find out what the Nelson County broadband study will reveal -- I think there is to be a report soon.

According to a Speedtest.net using the recommended server in Atlanta, we're getting 348 down and 53 up (down is a bit faster than yesterday but up is significantly slower). So, I have unplugged it and have reconnected to HughesNet. I've got ads to email! Just reconnected to BPL and they are back up.
