If you have a USB modem that want to offer mobile broadband in the U.S., you will normally have to be for a 2-year contract and are committed to paying $ 60 per month for up to 5 GB data transfer . Or you can opt for a new Data Modem Jack, which costs about $ 100 up front and $ 40 per month thereafter for unlimited data. Oh, and there is no contract, so you can use the service for one or two months to cancel and then log on again six months later.
On paper has Data Jack I guess my second recent decision to pick up a CLEAR WiMAX modem. This is especially true because while my mobile WiMAX modem works great, is the home modem is not as fast as the DSL service I had hoped to replace, so I think about canceling the home service which means I had to pay at the end as much as $ 45/month for WiMAX service, which works only in a handful of cities, if I could be a payment of $ 40/month for 3G service, which is available nationwide.
But this time I think I’ll try not to the “early adopter” and wait to see how well the service works for others before signing up.
