Who here has it or uses it? Pros and Cons please

I have it at our cabin in NY nothing but great things to say about it, it’s simple to setup and works great in the middle of nowhere that I use it. 
 

I run Wi-Fi security cameras off it, TV and our phones while we’re there and works great

My buddy has it on his offshore boat.  Still carries a Sat Phone but we go out and we connect 5-7 devices with no issues.  Very popular in the airstream community as well.  I'm looking at Airstreams so I am doing my research on this.

Neighbor loves it.  It’s on my to do list when the kids get older. We have Brightspeed which is slow but works for now. Optimum came through but is bad I hear.  Planet network is slowly coming but will never come down my road as it’s only a dozen homes and 5/8 mile long and all underground.

what set up do you have? Looking to do same thing @ our camp in Pa.

I have the residential one, super easy to set up but make sure you download the app prior to getting to your camp, you need the app on your phone to install it. 
 

Pretty cool technology it tells you how to rotate your dish for optimal satellite performance and as you turn it the app tells you when to stop. The mounting bracket if your going to mount on the side of the cabin isn’t big enough so we had to build a box to extend it about 8 more inches away from the house. If you mount on the roof you’ll be fine.
