Been on it for several days now, seems to be fine.  More stable than the 360 was.

Can't do a speed test on this site though.  I've tried several times and the screen changes to 'forwarding you to a bigger test' a few times and freezes, won't do anything else.

Tests on other sites run fine and are steady in the 490 down, 90 up range, sometimes a little better.

Connects straight to the WAN port of any router for full networking.

I can use both of my connections a Pro and Ultimate on this site.  When you do the test, do the "test your download speed" Not the test both.  On the download test use the "larger" file size.  Do the same for the upload but use the medium file size.  If you are running a web accelerator, you will need to disable it while you are testing.

I get, on the Pro plan, around a 550 - 650 download with between 98 - 120 up.

On my Ultimate it is usually about 1250 (only one time have I saw it lower than 1250) and the upload ranging from 240 to 260.

StarBand is marketing more for toward the high-end home office/small business users and not as much for the residential customers.  The lowes rate plan you can get with the new Nova series 1000's will be $69/mo with 24/mo contract ($10 higher per month for the 12 month contracts)

I got in a few days before the cutoff, so I got the Pro locked in for 2 years at $49/mo; not sure what will happen after that.

Wasn't even going to do that, but they dropped the $39 plan and were going to kick me up to $49 on the old 360 modem with no networking, so I decided to try it.
