Are You Kidding?

"$30/month for 200MB and $40/month for 2GB"

This can't really even be called broadband. You can get more out of a dial-up account for $9.99.

These aren't reasonable. I would balk at these prices if they were cell phone data plans to say nothing of using this with a PC.

Looks like they are trying to pretend that the mobile version is a cell phone data plan...

I understand your point about those prices, but $50 for no cap doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Agreed. But the other ones are a joke.

I could maybe see the $30 for 5GB and $40 for 30GB. But I still think it would be too low, however I could see people paying for these packages.

The $50 Mobile and Home No Caps plans look pretty good to me. I'd go with it if they were here.

If only the Verizon CSRs worked this well.

That's for the mobile service. The $50 service is unlimited. How is that so terrible relative to what other companies charge for mobile data services? Seems like it is better than what most of the others are charging.

Who will come out on top? Whoever has a larger coverage area. Certainly they aren't as fast as Xohm but what good is speed if you can't get a signal?

Xohm rocks but the limited coverage will hinder it. It remains to be seen how 'Clear' will do in this regard.

Coverage isn't a huge factor yet in Baltimore... Devices can be used in other markets now as you have probably read from other posters... Portland is the only Clear 4G market so far. I am talking about pricing by the way.. Do people prefer XOHM plan's or Clear plans.
