Clear Wimax is the BEST THING TO HAPPEN SINCE THE INTERNET! It's fast, it's inexpensive and it's absolutely the perfect alternative to the plans that are offered from Comcast and Verizon. I say this because I have the modem and a USB modem and I purchased a Clear personal hotspot. That said, I don't have cable television...I know poor me. However, I have the computer and can stream videos with Netflix and HULU and also have a VUDU box, now owned by Walmart. It's perfect, runs perfectly and not expensive. Get it online, get it from a retailer, just GET IT! I'm actually a customer. I don't work for Clearwire and I'm not invested in the company...Not yet at least. :) Enjoy the service once you get it. It's a no brainer to hook it up. Customer service is excellent and I've never had one issue. Not one! A Clearwire fan! Run, don’t stop or hesitate.

I was hoping that Clear would be faster than my current DSL connect which is quite poor and would avoid the need for me to obtain a cable modem from evil Comcast. However, with the Clear service (the highest speed they are currently offering in Philadelphia- 6m down/ 1m up)offer), I have not been able to obtain a signal strength of more than 2 consistent bars (lights), and the download and upload speeds have been lousy -- 1.2 to 2.8m down, and .08 to .42m up. I have been on the phone with tech support three separate times. Although they advised that they are investigating and were willing to extend my trial period for an additional 7 days, they have not been able to determine whether there is actually a problem with connection to the network, or whether my house is just in a "dead" zone. I was hoping that the Clear service would deliver the promised speeds (6 down/ 1 up), but to date, I have been very disappointed.
