i am using this service since 6 months. unlimited 300kbps for approx 1k p/m . have got 340k thruput at times. the point of entry device provides lan interface. you need to do browser authentication. so any os works. i use it with wireless router and a bunch of other devices. about power the point of entry device requires power supply but that is at end point not near the disc. dunno about rain etc yet.
