Very nice speeds. Has anybody looked in the ToS to see if there's any mention of a bandwidth cap, though? I think Sprint's Mobile Broadband service is still advertised as unlimited, but there's a 5GB/mo cap hidden in the ToS.

This sounds just like Comcast to me...

So you are discounting LTE?

LTE doesn't enable anything that wimax doesn't.

Not surprising at all. Every provider has to do something to provide this capacity so cheaply.

Just got my modem last night and hooked it up today. Pulling better speeds than I was with DSL.

No contracts, $35 per month, decent speeds = sweet!

Comcast how I loathe thee. I just wish there were an alternative here

You will be able to purchase XOHM-ready products in areas all around Baltimore. I'm from Columbia, Maryland - I plugged in my zip code into the XOHM main page (http://www.xohm.com/), and XOHM is already available there (20 minutes outside of the city). The XOHM website is a good place to check whether or not XOHM has reached your area. I?m currently working with XOHM, so if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

Bell Canada has WiMax available over a good chunk of Canada, 178 cities in fact. $55/mo for 2mbps though.

From the Speakeasy.net speed test I am getting:
Down - 5750kbps
Up - 1764kbps

I just got this (in Bmore) and I'm loving it so far. Averaging 2-4Mbps (I'm in the outskirts of the range).

Nice deal. The only drawback is you have to live in Baltimore.

i just went into Best Buy (Arundel Mills) today to pick up the XOhm modem, but apparently Best Buy no longer stocks anything XOhm. does anyone know if any B&M places still stock XOhm hardware?

Is there wimax scheduled to deploy in LA?
