Clearband or "OMGFast" internet

I have an 18Mbps AT&T UVerse line now, but I've been seeing ads for OMGFast, which promises 50Mbps wireless. I was curious if anyone has used them, or had experience with them. I only have a choice between AT&T or a local cable provider here, and the local cable provider isn't that great with pricing, or data usage. I don't see any limits on Clearband's page, but I would also imagine it's not so great. If anyone has any hands on with them, I'd appreciate it.

I saw that post, but there wasn't anything concrete. Just one guy saying comparable speeds, and another saying that they were ok. I was asking for more of a hands on, as in speed tests, and such. One or two "they're ok" posts could be a fluke or the company posting.

Since Clearband is a vary localized ISP, my guess is that you won't find much more confirmation than what you've seen already.

From a technical standpoint, Clearband has enough spectrum to deliver those 50 Mbps speeds all day and not run into problems. Now whether the technology translates into practice I can't say, because I'm nowhere near SoFla these days.
