I have had a modem since December 2nd.  I have a business account and my
speeds are nice and consistent:

I have been taking the modem with me around town and testing the service
(using a power inverter in the car).  It has good reception more often then
not.  3/5 bars tend to deliver full throughput, but 2 or less will start to
drop the speeds.

Of course the one place it does not work well is my home.  I'm in the Garden
Home area.  We have an elevation change between us and the tower.  At the
top of the hill, good signal.  At the bottom, 1 bar.

Do you know if the speeds will be maintainable once subscribers start to
load the network?  At what point is an access point oversubscribed?
