This service requires to point the router to the tower direction and OUTDOOR under 99% of cases, to get better connections. The customer care won't tell you that.
I have offered a refurbished home modem for $20 and free rover puck for my plan. The modem is fine but the puck, the mobile hotspot not. That puck product sucks. Don't even try! It got 3 bars less and slower everything. I got dropped every mile or so on driving (maybe it's the network clearwire built? It's WiMax mobile for Taiwan's global mobile last time I tried).
That puck also auto drop internet though everything show on device page as normal about 200-300kbps download in couple of minutes. Clearwire service people had no clue on that device issue. Again, the home modem has no issue at all.
If you do some research, most of biz wimax solutions required outdoor antenna or cpe which give you perfect speed. If you can have that done, you will have much better experience with clear.
For me, it's impossible to do that, I only have modems on high floors and by the windows to face the direction toward the tower. The speed varies a lot from 13 mbps-2.7mbps, but upload is stable at 1 mbps.
