Would have been a great service for us, considering there are little internet options for us in a rural area. However, the technition told us that he couldn't see the tower from our house. This apparently meant that we had to pay upwards of $500 for installation ($250 base installation and another $250 for additional dish) by either getting 2 satalites to bounce the signal off the barn to our house, or install a 10 foot tower on top of our roof. Our neighbors to the east and west (less than a mile away) both are serviced by Mercury. We are in the service area, as we called and confirmed ahead of time.
