Oh yeah, I got a trial subscription but did away with it before the credit card got billed.

It is G4 and drops you often, problem is that it does not recover, you have to re-set the router/radio.
Speed tests are very good, but if is not reliable, what good does it do?

The sales guy was really hesitant to talk about how they got the funding, then I found out why.

Headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, Open Range Communications was approved in 2009 for a loan by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Utilities Program (RDUP) to deliver High Speed Wireless Internet to 525 rural communities across 17 states.

This Broadband Access Loan of $267 million loan (the largest in USDA history) was made possible through the combined efforts of the RUS, FCC and Members of the House of Representatives and United States Senate. Open Range received additional funding on January 9, 2009 an investment of $100 million from One Equity Partners (OEP), the private equity arm of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The OEP investment satisfied the RDUP's loan terms, making the funds available to Open Range. Open Range would like to thank everyone from local and state government who equally share the Open Range vision for rural America and ubiquitous High Speed Internet Service at an affordable price.
