I signed up. I live in Atlanta and pay $150/mo for Comcast 1gb internet (which rarely performs at half of that). If it can cover my needs, I will just ditch comcast and go with it. Also, I will be able to pack it into my RV for campsite use, which will be huge! My wife and I are working remote, so we will potentially be able to load up the RV and work from anywhere.

This deal is obviously not for everyone, but if you can get by with 100-200mbps, then that is pretty slick, especially if you can take it anywhere.

Kuiper, Viasat, Hughes & Starry were promoted to provide lower cost internet for the masses, but some of them might have changed their business model during 2020.
viasat and other traditional satellite internet providers don't compare though. you can't game because the latency is unheard of, most have data caps that are pathetic.

This is for fixed service, for now. Unless you're using it close to home, the same cell, it won't work.

Mobile will be offered eventually.

If you have a better option, you're not a target customer. Many of us have worse options.

Suddenly today, T-Mo tells me I'm eligible and took my order for home internet.

As a practical matter, I don't see myself needing more than 25.

My parents have 100+ with Comcast, don't use it for anything more than checking AOL mail.

Currently the rules say you can't take it on the road... it's configured to only work within a certain area around your address... Reddit says mobile use is down the road. (No pun intended)

Quote from pthomas1991 :
I was hyped about this but it seems its too pricey right now. Wasn't the goal to make internet affordable globally?
for people who live in rural areas, this IS affordable

Do you have to have a set location? I am planning on moving late 2021 to a house that never had cable installed and to avoid any fees for wiring from street to house I wanted to go with this. I would like to use it where I am now and at the next house later.

Quote from PeteyTheStriker :
For people always on the move, this seems like a great internet option, its only pricey when compared to established areas with high speed infrastructure. If you live out of a RV or a rural area, this might be your best option yet.

I did not see any mention of data caps, that would be the deciding factor, if they enforce caps, this service will not be worth it depending on how low the cap is set.
Good for RVs but technically they do not want you moving around with the service right now. I am sure that is going to be available before too long. And it does seem to work if you move it around, but its discouraged.
