Rio Rico, AZ | update Since they are not my primary service (I have Qwest DSL) I have needed to use the service maybe only twice in the last 30 days. The first time, my previous month had run out so I was given something like 10 minutes to recharge via credit card. I did this and it worked out fine. Then a few days later I needed the service briefly to go outside my network and check out a problem against my DSL connection.
Of course $60 is a lot of money for a couple of uses, but I may use it again during the month, and this pay-for-a-month here-and-there sure beats being on a monthly contract and having that in the back of my mind that I am obligated to a year at $720, or two years at $1440 for something whose use I find impossible to predict.
So, anyway, I have no major revision to make in my initial reviews and comments. Slingshot has so far been ok for me and I do not regret getting it. I look forward to seeing a few other reviews here on this site over the next few years so we can get a better sense of the pros and cons. Since they apparently sell at truck stops (I got mine from the website this time around, but I gather that others have got theirs from truck stops?) maybe we'll see more commentary from those who might have bought there.
I almost wish I could say something negative because I fear that someone will come here and say "I tried it and they were horrible in thus-and-such way and you shouldn't have said good things about them" but all I can say is they have been ok for me, so far. |
