Fix it first; then Sell it

Clearwire in principle is great. But in practice, there are plenty of times of day when the service slows down too much. Just now, I started off a few minutes ago with a nice 25ms ping and 1.5Mbps. Then I played Unreal Tournament for all of 10 minutes...suddenly my speed dropped to 512Kbps and my ping to 57ms. It often goes lower after streaming or game playing.

Does clearwire throttle? Is it just hosed up at peak hours? I think they need to fix the problem or they'll lose as many customers as they gain.

I am willing to pay double what I pay now for a guaranteed, all hours, unlimited 2M-3Mbps throughput. Buy you know what? There is no one in the US who will sell that to me!

Add to the frustration that Europeans and Japanese get 30 to 50 Mbps from their phone companies as a matter of course!!

You can get a guaranteed speed 24/7 with 99.99 percent up time. Go business class and get 2 T1s.
