If they covered SoCal, they'd hit +10% of that goal.

"I just spent 50 minutes on the phone trying to cancel Clearwire. I had it for a month and it never worked and they spent hours trying to fix it and they still want $400 bucks to get rid of it."
"Clearwire caps everything. cant get a decent download speed even when they haven’t throttled me. Whenever i use more than like a gig of bandwidth in one or two days, they throttle my speeds to 300-500 kbps for a frickin week. They’re customer support techs are pretty cool, but they cant do crap to help you. I hate it. I had no clue when I signed up that i wasn’t actually gonna be able to USE my bandwidth, i mean, sheesh, why would I pay for bandwidth and then actually use it!? Wtf. I dont have the money to cancel, and im getting capped every other week. do you know what its like trying to play xbox live on 400k? Yeah. Doesn’t work that well." | |

This person sounds like they have no clue wtf they are talking about, especially in regards to playing xbox live (or any online game), which has very little to do with bandwidth and mostly to do with latency. 400 k is more than enough for online gaming. Latency over most wireless connections, however, usually exhibits some latency jitter that causes issues with gaming. | |

Latency over most wireless connections, however, usually exhibits some latency jitter that causes issues with gaming. With Xbox Live, 400kbs doesn't work very well with some games. Halo3 for instance. On my girlfriends 768kbs DSL connection, Halo3 won't work since there is too much lag. With Unreal Tournament 3, I can't tell the difference bewteen playing on her 768kbs connection or my 50mbs FIOS connection. It plays smoothly with either one. | |

| Boston should launch in 2009 instead of 2010 Boston should be launching in 2009 for Clearwire instead of 2010. The network is built for the most part here under xohm and I bought two xohm modems that I can't use till next year here. I may have moved to Scottsdale, AZ before it launches in Boston. Good thing I have a verizon data card for mobile use. I am glad they did tell us when wimax is launching. I
want some choice in quality broadband and for cable co's to stop charging extra for non video customers, some of us like Directv and Dish Network better for our video needs. | |

| I don't get it... Whenever some new tech rolls out Phoenix is always one of the last places to get it, if ever.
Do companies not see Phoneix as good sized market or do they not care ? I have been waiting for Wimax since I heard about it, I'm ready to pony up the cash Clearwire just get it here !
Ok done ranting, back to your regularly schedule posting :P | |

| Too Slow This is taking too long, they are squandering the time advantage they had before LTE arrives. ClearWire looks more and more like they took pages from Sprint's Boondoggle playbook.

| Buh-bye Clearwire... ...because if you wait until 2010 with NYC then you are in for a huge surprise - by then this market will be largely full with marked down 3G plans, free (or bundled-free) WiFi hotspots etc.
You got this year - if you won't take the you *&%@$ up your biggest chance, period.
