Clearwire launches pay-as-you-go 4G service
Upon purchasing either device, you'll receive two days of service to test things out, after which it costs $5 a day, $20 per week, or $50 per month for unlimited bandwidth. It's worth noting that the devices can't connect to 3G, so you're out of luck if you wander outside of Clear's 4G coverage. The press release cites speeds of 3Mb/s to 6Mb/s on average, with bursts surpassing 10Mb/s.
If you know you'll need coverage for a while, SlashGear reports that you can buy a Rover and pay for 12 months of WiMAX upfront for $500 ($100 off) with the coupon code "Crazy."

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Thats faster and cheaper than Comcast's internet for $40 a month. Our internet with Comcast is also utter crap, it goes out atleast 10 times a day. Sometimes 25 breaks easily. I wonder what their bandwidth regulations are.

I can't image the cap would be great. :/ But if I had coverage I would definitely get this! I would love it so much.

There are no bandwidth regulations. They offer unlimited transfer as far as I know.

Hmm...would be tempting except for Clearwire works for crap during online PvP, PvM shooter games.

From reading reviews of Clearwire over the years it seems they don't exactly have great latency since they are wireless and have some bad stories of port/application blocking, they may have changed but just be aware. I personally wouldn't do it as I just can't trust wireless companies as being my only way online.

Ya wireless and gaming don't mix at all. On a related note I want some Nachos http://xkcd.com/654/.

Sorry but this seems a little slow. I expected faster speeds then this.
