It varies a lot by location. I'm off 50th Street in WDM and used it for a 
while before there was DSL out here. It wasn't good but it wasn't horrible 
either. The latency wasn't very consistent and it would drop out at random 
times for a little bit. I was using it during the day, it definitely got 
worse at 3:30 or so.
