WiMax has been killed off, are there any alternatives to something like Clear/ClearWire with a fair amount of data and cost?

You're not going to find something similar to the data cost of Clear but there are great metered plans out there.

Now I am really confused.

 

If you had simply stated other options, I wouldn't be questioning anything.

 

However, you state there are great options without providing examples or qualification.

 

I am interested in seeing what you consider 'great' metered options.

 

And if you think I am being snarky or negative, I am not. I am sincerely interested in seeing some specific examples of great (metered or not) plans, as I am sure many others who are losing clear service soon will be interested in as well.

We can't compare today's pricing of options to what was the pricing of yesterday's options. I'm talking strictly on the standard data cost options available from Carrier A versus the data cost options from Carrier B, Carrier C and so on and so forth.

 

That's all I'm saying.

I was under the impression that Sprint was going to migrate WiMAX users to LTE by providing another compatible device free of charge, or at least cheaply; I guess I was wrong.

I was hoping they would, but seems like they are just dropping all clear customers without any type of effort re-capturing or converting them to either existing or special sprint plans/equipment.

 

Seems like a bad move to not even try to keep some type of revenue coming in.

Believe it was for Sprint users who had WiMax phones and not the clear customers who used WiMax as a home internet. 

 

For home internet users they are sending emails out that suggest other internet services providers.

Does anybody know any Clear/ClearWire resellers that offer Unlimited data and can still activate devices?

my friend clear is dead and unlimited data access for home Internet is gone with wimaxx

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
