Hunterbuck, are those speeds holding about true to what AT&T phone service would get at your house? I tested mine the other day and I’m getting 40 down 16 up with my phone. Think I’d be able to get the full 25/5 with that? You can only get about 2mb/s at my house using AT&T phone, so speed is now better with SardisTel (which uses AT&T towers) than it is on AT&T cellular phone service. The next time anyone confuses me for a wireless expert will be the first time, but I'd say that if you're getting 40/16 at your house running speedtests on your AT&T cell phone, you should easily be able to get 25/5 with SardisTel.

Thanks - Hunterbuck -- I'm in Sumter County and been using AT&T hotspot with good results but by end of month I've used all my plan and they charge a bunch if you go over. Been looking for another provider. Is SardisTel/Fusion unlimited usage? Yes, SardisTel/FusionUSA is unlimited.

Just placed my order for the SardisTel service this morning. We'll see how it does in middle of nowhere coosa county here shortly. It did look like their prices went up a little bit since the last time I looked at it though. I though I remembered it being $70 or so for the "standard package" but now it's showing $85. Hunterbuck, did your bill go up at all? No, I'm apparently locked in at $69/month, if I decide to keep it. Not looking really good on that right now.

Just to update....I sent the equipment back to Sardistel/Fuzion USA yesterday.
In fairness, it's a GREAT idea, in theory. The biggest requirement is that you get good speeds on AT&T wireless in your area. If you do, then go for it. If you don't, you'll be spinning your wheels and end up disappointed.
Also in fairness, their customer service is ATROCIOUS. They want you to deal with them ONLY through email/online contact, and don't even answer you there most of the time. I have not received a response to a question or comment online in well over a month.

That's like asking what's the best bone to break.
There ain't one.

I ordered service on 5/06 and have yet to receive my router or been able to get in touch with anyone who can tell me what the holdup is.

We’ve got Viasat and hate it. We have a 12gb plan,which sounds like a lot, and it only last 1-2 weeks. Last cycle it lasted 4 days and I’m the only one that used it. That was social media only no Netflix or YouTube or anything like that. And as mentioned above it’s very “laggy”. We switched ti Vaistat from Hughes net and its great. I stream movies constantly. My hot spot sux. We have the unlimited package and were told there is no slow down. So far they were right. I can use 12 gigs on the the toilet.

I went with VIA SAT. I have been pretty happy with it. When its bad weather you might as well not worry about the internet. But other than that it has been doing fine. The ping is usually in the 3 digits area. But the download I am currently getting is 50 mbps. Which isn't bad.
I love the rut. The woods are like a bunch of roided up meatheads fighting over a girl.

Ok...another update. They emailed me today out of the blue, and stated that they have modems configured to work with Verizon towers...but it will be a month or so before they can get one to me. I told them fine...I will give it a try. I will continue to update progress
