I don't personally know anybody who has it - but latency is never less than
approximately 500ms.  Don't expect to much interactive networking to take
place.  Weather will also affect your performance - it does with DirecTV.
The snowstorm on election night shut our DirecTV down for about 1 hour or
so - not like I needed the results that night or anything anyway :)
Normally we are getting 92% reception which is very good!
