    Any of you guys have "CLEAR" 4g for your internet service?

    Any thoughts on that? Reviews?

    Thanks.

    I used it on my m11x when I was in my "gypsy phase" and living out of my car for 6 months. Speed was great (around 7Mbps), but the latency was only good enough for raiding with my guild, and absolutely worthless for any FPS games in multiplayer.

    Well that would suck, since i mostly play counterstrike, battlefield, and starcraft 2.. And waiting for diablo 3. Thanks for the warning.. Is there any carrier that offers 3g/4g mifi hotspot capable of gaming on the go?

    I have CLEAR, and was wondering if u can literally use the m11x with built in wimax with CLEAR? if answer is yes, did u have to call CLEAR and give them any details so that it'd work with CLEAR, or how did u you use it?!

    thanks much for any insights!
