Camden, TN | said by xirian:said by BF69:Seriously if you already have Comcast internet WTF is this for? Its for those with laptops to use while they're out. Your comcast connection is only usable in your home. And if you don't have Clear or Sprint where you're taking your laptop? The next county over has Comcast but not Clear or Sprint anywhere near it. Nor will it have either for the foreseeable future.
meanwhile people that live in an area without broadband continue to get nothing. Hey ISPs here's an idea, if you want more customers GO GET THEM. |

And Sprint offers this service for $60/mo instead of $70/mo, but without the cable internet svc included. »shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinesto···layPlans
So basically, you get cable internet svc for an additional $10/mo. Not a bad deal, at least for the 1st 12 months. After that, no longer a great deal - just a fair one.

Nor will it have either for the foreseeable future. You do realize that Sprint is a nation-wide 3G network right? Where the heck are you that you don't have Sprint service available? I have it and I've been all around the country and have always had service. Just like any cell service there are going to be some weak and some dead spots, but for the most part it works quite well.
This is actually pretty a great deal and would get me to switch back to Comcast.
I'm paying $55/mo for my FIOS now plus another $60/mo for my Sprint mobile broadband card--a combination of $115 per month. Now I might be able to pay $70 and also have access to 4G where available? Sounds pretty good to me! yeah ok so I lose the great 15/5 FIOS service, but for a $45 drop in the bill it might be worth it. |

When I had sprint it was very hard to find a place with no signal, especially compared to how easy att makes it for me now that I switched. But from what i see this isnt even offered to you by comcast unless you are in a clea r area to begin with. |

said by sonicmerlin:Yes...fair...except for the fact that Comcast landline internet is overpriced. How is that? The biggest competitor is AT&T and they are just as expensive. Their fastest DSL speed is 6Mbps according to their website. My Cable is 18Mbps (I can sustain 2 MBs per second downloading from usenet). |
