I agree, even though I've never used Wi-max, I am impressed by the LTE on my iPhone 5. I don't even notice a difference when I have it latched on to my home Wi-Fi (powered by Comcast) or using Verizon LTE on the go. I don't use public hotspots because of security vulnerabilities.
Wi-max (based on what I've read on DSLR) is a downgrade from LTE. |

Doh!Since it works as a wi-fi hotspot they should have just had it tested by itself. If they were smart enough to come up with a device like this you'd think they could have figured out how to have it tested! |

freedompop doesn't tell customers about the delayfreedompop didn't tell me about the delay so they kept saying the sleeve would be available in another 3 to 4 weeks. then in 3 to 4 weeks, they would say it would be avail in 3 to 4 weeks. i got fed up and canceled my order, which i placed in may of 2012. this was very irritating. i ended up getting the hotspot which works well except for the terrible battery life. |

They see something new and don't know how to test it? Hire better engineers. |

Re: Oh no!It is. However, you don't have to pay $80 per month for a WiMAX data account. |

Of course not. I remember when clear wire first came out I bought an ispot. $25 a month for unlimited internet... and our house is less then a mile away from a clear tower. What more could you ask for?
.... only our house has trees everywhere from the tower and gets no signal AT ALL from the clear wire tower, I had to drive around just to find a signal that was around 2.5/0.5.
Verizon lte gets 30/12 in really populated areas. I pay for limited internet, but fast internet that you don't need to drive around for. |
