Sprint_U300_4G_USB.jpgSprint  just turned on WiMAX service in a number of cities last week, and now the carrier is throwing in a little extra motivation for prospective customers: a price cut.

FierceWireless reports that Sprint has quietly lowered the monthly cost of its 4G CDMA/mobile WiMAX service $10 to $69.99 per month. Plus, Sprint is now promising a month of free service as a sign-up bonus.

The carrier is also selling its 3G/4G USB Modem U300 (pictured) for free with a two-year service contract and after rebate, compared to its initial cost of $149 back in December, the report said.

What they never mention in all these articles is that there is still a really low bandwidth cap on these cell phone carrier 4G networks. Try streaming video and you'll end up with a big bill. They're touted as Wimax, but they are not really...the only company doing real Wimax nationally is Clear and like a regular ISP, the price is flat, with unlimited downloads, just like at home.
