It's comparable with any other 1.5MBit internet service, you can use it on the bus if you have access to a 120V outlet, although it's not meant for roaming between cells so may take a bit to re-sync while you're on the move. It's really meant to be more of a stationary service.

I thought about getting this about a year ago, but I didn't like the cap limits (not good if you're going to be downloading a lot). That was last year... maybe things have changed since then.

Can't say I am too impressed with it so far, but it is crappy weather outside and I have only had it for 2 hours so far. You get a month to be sure of it, so I will wait and see how it goes. So long as it works where I need it too I will be happy. And that I will find out in a couple days.

I've had Rogers for a few months now. I live in the boons, so it's really my only option. I have reception about 90% of the time, and speeds are generally good. I have the 3mb/s one.
Only infrequently does my signal go down to the point of uselessness, but I -am- in the boons and I don't get full reception even on my cell.

It sucks. I had the Bell one and the Rogers one is identical. Even the modem is the same.
You cannot use it while in transit. You must be stationary.
