My speeds are nowhere near that in the Santa Cruz Mountains, but 
certainly more than good enough -- typically 85 MBPS down. The problem 
with their "service" is the lack of adequate backup for the loss of PG&E 
power at their fiber repeaters. 6 hours is the best they can fit in the 
enclosures, and before our massive wildfire last summer, battery 
capacity had deteriorated to 5 minutes. It's not uncommon for storms and 
failures in the PG&E system to last 2-4 days. With no cell coverage 
under normal conditions. when PG&E drops, we're out of biz.
