I actually pay for service through Comcast but the Wimax network is actually provided by Clear (3G is Sprint's network, I think). It costs me an extra $40 on top of my HSI Cable internet at home... total bill is about $90 (as long as I call in every 6 months or so to get my discounts back).
Adapter: U301 4G/3G
CINR: 20
dBm: -65
I hugely improved my ping and bandwidth by making myself a cantenna and pointing it at the nearest tower (cut can in half... cut slot for dongle in middle of can... insert dongle *snicker*... pretty easy and if you have one of those coffee cans that are cardboard with foil layers it is super easy to cut up). My signal strength went from 40% to 100% and my ping went from ~250 to 100... my download bandwidth varies from 3 to 7mbs. |

This is with AT&T 4G service, no antenna, and using windows ICS and two Linksys access points for wifi coverage throughout the house.
Price: 50/mon, 5GB cap, $10/GB over. The Sierra U313 aircard cost $49.95 after the $50 mail-in rebate. Excellent device.
We are in the mountains of Puerto Rico and there is no DSL nor cable internet. Our options are Hughes (see my review of them) or WISP via mobile broadband. We used to have Millenicom/Sprint but the service got so slow it was hard to use.

Sierra 313U/AT&T 4G shared on dedicated laptop host, 2 LinkSys WiFi a/p, 4 XPPro units, FireFox everywhere. |

Re: What is your speed, service price, and location and ISP? I have had Verizon Wireless for 2 years on a MiFi2200.
I had a 5GB plan and went over. I was throttled, then I upgraded and was still throttled. I hit 90% every month, don't go over, anymore.
My speeds vary, since we travel so much. Basically, it's like dial-up to 1.5M
For this, I pay $80 per month. We travel all over the country and I can generally find some access.
I would give up my unlimited data plan on my phone. in exchange for my MiFi. We need maps and sites I can't get on my phone.
My $700 phone is useless. I'm sorry I bought it. |
