That said, with any wireless service your mileage may vary, so best to test anything on a trial basis if possible. Clearwire is offering month to month contracts and that seems like a smart way to start.

My primary internet connection is via Sprint's Phone as Modem for my Palm 755p. I've been thrilled to average download speeds of 700-750 kps. Just how much faster can I expect Clearwire to be? And how does that compare to what consumers are now achieving with USB connections at Verizon and ATT? Unless, Clearwire is at least twice as fast, I can't see why consumers would choose them over bundled plans offered by the majorplayers, especially in light of their limited coverage areas. Comments?
