I am in the Seattle area, and they cover from Everett to Federal Way, and From the San Juan's to Issaquah. Which is a pretty sizable area. (Any locals wanna take a guess at sq. miles?? ) I am getting 38.6 connections from home. I got the desktop model, which is a $99 dollar 1 time unlimited lifetime rental fee (Ie while you still have service) Then it's 29.95 /month unlimited. If you wish to go truly mobile, you can either buy the modem (~$300US) or I believe you can rent it for ~$15US /month. Then the $29.95US /month for connectivity..
