My Review 

We signed up for USI wireless as soon as it became available in our area. the service was patchy at first and we occasionally had problems connecting but i guess they were still playing with the new equipment because after the first few weeks it was always on and worked great. it replaced qwest internet and worked as fast as the basic qwest dsl and was much much cheaper. we can watch movies on the internet just fine. i didn't like having to buy the usi wireless modem but over a year it still works out cheaper than qwest and comcast. it's not perfect, occasionally we have to reboot the router, like once a month, but we did that with qwest too. so overall we are very happy with usi.
