My $5 / month Mini arrives tomorrow. This will be the backup for the new Gen3 after the Gen2 died due to a failed auto-update. Cheap insurance for something so mission critical as there is no alternative way of communicating where we live.

Our system speeds went from an average of around 80 Mb/s with the Gen1 round dish to routinely 250-4050 Mb/s with the Gen3 system. Remarkable the difference. That said, the old system's throughput was never a bottleneck for us anyway, even with two people full-time WFH and lots of streaming. So faster is great but not really meaningful.

ETA: I just ran a test now and got 432Mb/s!

Same here. Speed is not an issue. But the Gen3's WiFi is much stronger that the Gen2.
