Anyone use it at home?
Prices aren't too bad.

How is it?

I live in Centreville and use it. It works very well for me, and the price can't be beat.

Get someone with a Sprint 4G phone to come over and run a speed test (the speed test app is best). Sprint uses clear for their 4G.

I've seen as high as 5Mbps, but it varies

How's the latency when compared to cox/fios internet? I know when I'm tethered to my 3G phone, it's pretty unreliable.

They suck HARD down in the lower Springfield/Lorton area. Avoid 'em like the plague!

Just got: 74ms ping, 12.41 mbps download - that's good enough for a 5mb MP3 file in 4 seconds, 35mb video clip in 23 seconds, and 800mb movie in 9 minutes.

And I can take my internet with me, I don't have to stay at home for those speeds.

All ISPs (like cell providers) will have their issues, you just have to see what works for you and use it.
