| Correct pricing, tiers, speeds I'm typing this in Portland connected with my Clear usb modem. I have a 6mb down unlimited capacity plan. Right now they are offering 2/$55 a month, home modem &mobile usb modem, or mobile&mobile usb modems. I pay $27.50 a month and split the plan with my friend who has the other modem. The download speeds regularly achieve 8mb down, the best I've found is 12mb down. The upload is capped currently at .5mb here in P-town though.
It's been so great having Clear open for business in Portland. We had the duopoly of Comcrap and Qwest in Portland proper until last year with Verizon FIOS only available in the 'burbs. Suddenly Qwest suddenly agrees that charging $42/month for 1.5mb DSL isn't competitive. Suddenly Comcast is offering longer intro promotional rates. I know I'm preaching to the choir on this site, but competition is so needed!
With the increased upstream today to 1mb on Clear that would leave you the option of paying $27.5/month for a MOBILE USB modem with at least 6mb down/1 up that can connect anywhere or $30+taxes for 1.5mb down/384k up fixed home DSL line with Qwest. Goodbye baby bell. | |
