While it lasts.
Odds are the unlimited option will not last long. Get in while you can
...
Wimax has been unlimited for well over 18 months. Sprint has advertisements with it's CEO touting unlimited, and that they don't play game with people. So, umm,. . .not quite yet.
I say 10GB caps render speed useless! What is the point in speed if it can't be used for multimedia, as in video. That's what speed is for video. But 10GB's is useless for video, cause it would be used up well under a month!
When I was with Clear I was using approximetly 35GB's/mo. A good amount, but not a ginormous amount of data, definetly well under 100gigs or more. These carriers don't offer a reasonable amount of data.
Video is data intensive, but speed is completly useless with 10GB/mo caps.
...
the carriers dont want people using their data cards/hot spots for home use. its stupid, but thats what they say. we live in a world of unlimited. they all complain about not enough data card sales but no one wants to have a cap.
...
Maybe if the cap was a more reasonable amount of data than a measly 10gb/mo!
I betcha an overwhelming majority of air card users are business people who get it out of necessity.
...
yeah its mostly business people i would say. but it started out as an alternative to dial up in rural areas. we would sell 5-10 a month to people that lived where comcast or some other cable company didnt service. that was on 3g.
...
Even Sprint, that sells a *desktop* modem that has to be hard-wired through ethernet and have a wall outlet to turn on?
Not all do, some are trying to compete in these markets.
Heck, T-Mobile, while they throttle after a certain point, do not start charging you more for using more.
...
WiMax has been unlimited for its entire existence thus far. However, even with the expanded coverage and millions more users that have gained access to WiMax in the past 2 years or so, this has not stopped Clearwire/Sprint from implementing tier data plans. Hence, I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future.
...
CORRECTION: "this has not stopped Clearwire/Sprint from implementing tier data plans."
I meant that Clearwire/Sprint has NOT IMPOSED tier data plans!
