What's up with Slingshot?

I'm really excited about the whole idea of prepaid broadband. I just hate the idea of getting yet another contract...yuck. I've heard good things about Slingshot, and I think their pricing is decent. But I've had trouble finding a place to buy their product. The store locator on their website is empty, and I can't seem to find any local stores that carry them.

If anyone has used their service, can you let me know how it is? Is it reliable? Do you like the service? Is there anything that I should watch out for? Also, if anyone knows where I can find out where I can buy one of their USB modems, please do let me know!

I know this is supposed to be a place to write reviews of prepaid broadband plans, but I'm really trying to find out more about their service. So I guess you could say that I haven't had a good experience with Slingshot so far because I can't even find a way to buy their product!
