Farewell WiMAX: Sprint’s Original 4G Network (Mostly) Shuts Down Today
If you are one of the few remaining customers on Sprint’s WiMAX network – it is time to say goodbye. Today (November 6th) is the official end-of-days for Sprint’s legacy 4G WiMAX network.

Karma Launches Unlimited Hotspot Plan on Sprint’s Network

Verizon Releases Firmware Update 2.5 for Novatel MiFi 6620L
We’ve long considered the Novatel MiFi 6620L (our in-depth review) to be the go-to hotspot for Verizon customers – delivering overall solid performance and reliability. And one of the best things about the 6620L is that it has been getting better via ongoing firmware updates – with the LTE Band 2 and LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation being […]
Verizon Refuses To Join AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile in “Unlimited” Throttling
The definition of “unlimited” has been getting murky lately. In July T-Mobile added fine print to its Unlimited Data Plans indicating that users who use more than 21GB during a month will “have their data usage de-prioritized” on congested cell towers, sticking the heavy users in the slow lane relative to everyone else. And last […]
