Actually, it depends on where you want to go. :)

I've been using WiMAX for two years on my laptop which has a built-in 
WiMAX module, and it works fine for me so far.

Mostly, I've been working at the east area in Tokyo. And from my 
experience, I guess 95% (or more) locations where I go are available for 
WiMAX: including several cafe, large office buildings, and so on.

And of course, sometimes I can't get the wave. :)

I guess some WiMAX service provides are offering a trial, so I recommend 
to have a trial before you sign-up for WiMAX.
