it is not officially available yet in my area,but if you have xohm device you can connect to the network since it is in testing phase.

Here is a screen shot of my bill. I think it goes up from30$ to 35$ in 6 months. As soon as time allows, I plan on canceling Comcast and doing their bundle deal which is around 50-60$ for a home modem and a mobile modem. The home modem gets around 6.5 down in my neighborhood.

Due to the amount of travel I do, I am keeping my verizon card as well. Until the network gets more of a build out, I don't see many options.
