(»Review of Alltel Axess by delta_queen)
I defected to satellite, my last remaining option. The installers did a fine job and even followed through on a special install location for me. I have not had to deal with tech support and I don't use wb email so I can't comment on those areas yet. My speedtest results during the day are :
1567 down
121 up
I paid for the pro pack.
peak hours test coming soon.
b/c this service is 'always on' tech at my company will be happier and I am able to use our wireless router which was not an option with celluar bb (unless pay $$$ for special equipment). I should have gone this route to begin with.

Have not had to call tech support yet
speeds and connectivity are consistant
(5pm test)
1512 down
87 up (yucky)
half way through my first 30 day bandwidth monitoring I have used 9% of DL and 6% of UL. So this is something of a big relief.
I am on the internet and emails for 12 hours a day sending PPTs, watching videos here and there and hosting webinars with no probs. No gaming and no movies for me....
Happy Camper to date. I'll keep providing updates.
UPDATE: Jan 17 2009> 7 months after WB install
Have zero complaints. I installed bandwidth meter pro and this helps a good deal. I don't watch a lot of video, but I'm able to click at will on news clips and short youtube vids. Haven't downloaded any movies and only a few songs.
No outages in 6 months with the brief exception of bad storms
No problems with equipment or connections.
My job has me connected 10 hours a day and we keep surfing until bedtime. Never hit near the DL or UL limit.
Speeds are worse in the evening than they are in the day.
