We have had MEI.net wireless high speed internet for almost a year now. We are very happy with this service. We are paying $90/month for the 3 meg download speeds and unlimited local/long distance VOIP service. (We were paying AT&T over $25/month just for local phone service. MEI was able to cancel our AT&T service and port our phone # to their VOIP service.)
Before we signed up we had Sprint mobile broadband. That was nice in the morning & late night use, but during the afternoon and evenings it was no faster than dialup so we decided to give MEI a try when our contract ended.
The service has been great, even works when the satellite dish cuts the tv signal out during heavy rain/snow.
Install took just over 1 hr but I had all the ethernet cables already ran in the house and to the install location. Only can see the antenna box on the roof, all the cables were hidden under the trim, very nice.
In the 1 year we have had their service, we had 1 issue and their local tech support had the issue resolved within a couple hours.
Glad to see someone has a high speed option in our area when AT&T, Comcast and Charter all say there is no demand for high speed. I really appreciate your offers you keep sending us only to say it's not available.

I had MEI.net's Wi-MAX installed about a week ago. Speeds have been very consistent. I signed up for the 3Mb/512kb, with 1Mb upload increase, and have been seeing an almost constant 2.95 Mb/s / .96Mb/s speeds when running various speed tests. Ping times are perfectly acceptable, running anywhere from 30ms to 80ms, when testing from various locations through out North America.
Install went very well, taking about an hour for the roof mounted antenna install, a 50 foot ethernet drop, and a short overview of authenticating the antenna to my current router (and how to switch routers in the future.) The installer also pointed out a couple of trees that he recommended be trimmed up, to prevent any future signal interference, which I took care of. Installer was running a bit behind, but he called well in advance of the appointment to let me know he was going to be late. Very professional install.
Prices are somewhat high, at $69.99 for the 3Mb/512kb package, and an additional $9.99 for the 1Mb upload increase. But considering I was paying over $60 per month for dial-up ($45 for the phone line for dial up only use, and $15 for AT&T's dial-up access,) I can't complain too much. I've since dumped AT&T altogether, so in all, I'm really only paying $20/month extra for connection speeds 100+ times faster connection with a lot less frustration.
All in all, I'm perfectly happy with MEI.net's Wi-MAX Internet and would recommend it to anyone who has only satellite Internet as a high-speed option.
