Yes, they're main hub is in Houston and Salt Lake Cable subscribers who have wanted faster download have been moving over to this service, so says the workers at CompUSA and Computer City. The Price is great as well. They have different services and price levels. It is $48/month which includes the feed and the ISP. That's a great price cause I've been paying $20 for an ISP connection plus $25/month for the phone line. I'll still need the phone line, so its basiscally $28 more a month than what I'm paying now for to go from 56 kbps to 10Mbps. I think its worth it. When I called them, they set a time and visited my home to see if the broadcast was strong. They were booked for 2 weeks before they came. I was looking at the one where they assign you your own static IP address. The dish hooks into your network card, and if you don't have one, they provide one with the installation. Regards, S.W.
