Well we got the home fusion and here are our experiences.
Installation/signup etc was free via their special. Installation of the antenna (looks like a big coffee can, goes on the outside of the house) etc took about two hours. Was installed by island satellite (note: this is not a satellite service, it uses 4G cellular).
Have been using internet on multiple computers, streaming video, and playing online video games. Internet speed has been consistently fast, better than our DSL in Alaska was. It is also better than using the Galaxy II as a wifi hotspot.
Downside: Two year contract. Expensive. But about 1/2 the price of getting internet cellular any other way. In our neighborhood in Orchidland there is no other option other than satellite and dial up which is much more expensive and the latency is too high for gaming.
