All to move from unlimited to very limited

I'm sure this is in the cards for Sprint-Clear-Softbank soon too.

the modems

wonder why they want the modems back if they are shuttering the service . The modems won't support LTE so what value are the modems ?

Never heard of it

I've never even heard of it. They have decent HSPA+ in Juneau even though there's no coverage at the end of the road, didn't know WiMAX existed up there.

It wasn't exactly very fast, last time I looked at it it was 1mbps or 2mbps, it made Clear, the other WImax provider look fast by comparison.
