I've been using a Wind Stick since September last year. I use their coverage map as a guideline. Connection speed very good, usually 5-6.5 mb/s. I use on a MacBook and Connection Manager tells you if you're in a Wind Zone. Since Wind uses a different frequency to others, the only thing it could switch to would be Rogers 2G. I don't think the internet sticks will even do this, so as far as I know, it won't work out of a Wind Zone, but haven't tried.
