It's horrible. Avoid it at all possible costs. Just browsing the internet sux because of the ridiculous latency time(unavoidable I know but still a pain to deal with). Adding computers to the network compounds the problem by multiples. And upload is slower then most 56K modems, so e-mailing pictures is pretty much impossible. The constant download speed isn't bad but they manage to screw that up by putting a 600 or so MB per month cap on it. so it's pretty worthless. They may have upped that since I last used it. All in all avoid it.

My sister had it and hated it. At the time she had to buy the equipment $800.00 soon as cable got to her she tossed the dish in the trash and went cable. sorry to say, it sucked for her so bad she did not even care about loosing the 800 bucks!
