My experience so far in Irving, TX. (Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex)
Received my XOHM USB modem yesterday... Tried yesterday and didn't have luck to see XOHM network.
Tried today, and did get signal!
Did get to the XOHM portal and ordered the $5 one day promo (Yes, it is now only $5/day!). I did experience several boots out of the network during my account creation. (Reconnects were quick, though.)
After this brief success, I'm not able to activate/use my service. It just keeps trying to connect but never seem to be able to...
It has been doing that the last 40 minutes now...
In my account page it shows that my one day service is "Active". Anyone with experience, does this mean that my one day plan is now activated and in use, or does it mean that it is just "odreded and paid"?
I do not have any idea of actual speeds yet, but I'm not holding my breath. Browsing the XOHM protal didn't feel that snappy... Speed reports that I have seen from DFW haven't been that great.
EDIT: Couple hours later the network is down... not able to see the XOHM. Looks like I just wasted $5...
EDIT2: After almost the whole day the situation is the same: The network disappears completely once in a while. The times it is available I can not connect to it. It seem that they have disabled the ability to log in their network in my area. I'll try later tonight one more time but I don't think it works any better.
