The maps are exactly what the picture looks like. It gives a list of known towers and has the ability to determine line of sight from your location.

Cool site! And you're right...technical information/blogs about 4G are sorely lacking.

Just out of curiosity...where did you get your tower location data? FCC filings and such? ....or do you have insider access to Clearwire?

Whymeintrouble, at work in Aurora, I get a consistent 8-12mbps, but I am not even 1/4 mile from a tower near Fox Valley Mall. At my home in Schaumburg, I only get 2-3Mb/s down. 1Mb/s up at both locations.

As for the coverage, you're right in the middle. Just give it a different address they don't verify or anything. I don't have coverage here in Bolingbrook yet so I gave it my office address.

In other news I spent 3 hours on the phone with Clear last night and until I got mad I was just transferred around. I was told that a new card was ordered and I will receive it in 24-48 hours. I have not received tracking numbers and I was charged a lease fee. They tried to get me to provide my SS# as well, I didn't give in on that one, but the "Market transfer" process is RIDICULOUS. I laughed every time they answered the phone "...We make it simple."

EDIT: Tracking number received, scheduled delivery is 11/4 by 3pm. It's been sitting in Indy for 11 hours... Plus they didn't include a Suite or company name on the package, I can't believe it, I'm never going to get the package now. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ClearClearwireSprint-4GComcast-Mobile-23285644 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:17:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ClearClearwireSprint-4GComcast-Mobile-23282729 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ClearClearwireSprint-4GComcast-Mobile-23282729 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:25:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ClearClearwireSprint-4GComcast-Mobile-23279784

The coverage can't possibly be this bad...outside of the downtown area, for Chicago metro they would definitely want to cover Naperville, Oak Brook, O'Hare and Schaumburg areas....that's where the majority of big businesses users are.

Clear, in areas where they offer VoIP, uses a stand-alone ATA like a PAP2.

Call Clear. They have Chicago coverage maps in their system now. I called the other day and the rep emailed me screen shots...looks like they use the Google Maps API and overlay their tower information....shows tower location coverage in each direction etc.

It seems that Clearwire has re-activated the Sprint/Nextel tower about .4 miles away from my office. Here is my speedtest:



It's my understanding that the upload speed will be increased to 1Mb/s eventually. Right now, my upload speed spikes up to around 1Mb/s only to get throttled back down to .50Mb/s.

It's not available to new customers yet, however I have heard December 1st may be the official launch date for Chicago. I hope it's sooner than that though. That's a good point about their VoIP using QoS, however I believe they are still tweaking things and it will get better with time.

According to Xohm/Clear, I am about a mile outside of their coverage area from the nearest WiMAX tower. There was a closer tower that was live about 3/4 mi. away when Xohm was testing a year ago and I had a perfect signal and always a consistent 4-6Mbps down and 1-2Mbps up.
