| | Weaker than Xohm If you compare the "Clear" plans to the current Xohm offerings "Clear" is a lot less competitive.
I don't understand why they'd eagerly "unveil" a weaker product in this kind of market. | |

kudos:4 | I thought Wimax was a 4G product. The upload speeds being offered are pretty anemic for 4G - they barely compete with the 3G wireless offerings from the telcos. | |

It's a group of broadcasting technologies suitable for longer-range broadcasting than Wi-fi. It's usually cheaper to set up and run, although it can be used in close proximity for theoretically tremendous speeds. | |

| | | Re: Wrong Price said by iansltx:» www.clear.com/home_services.phpThe 6/512 tier is $40, not $50. Provides nice counterpoint to cable if you ask me, though Verizon DSL is a slightly better deal if available. Beats "dry" AT&T DSL though. And Qwest's "We really don't want to but the PUC made us" rural 1.5Mbps Dry DSL for $58/month... | |

kudos:2 | Re: Wrong Price Better than $60/month for satellite 1 Mbps, or $69.95 for 1 Mbps fixed wireless that's rather unreliable to say theleast. Feel better now?  | |
|
| | | | | Re: Wrong Price A little bit. Actually, considering where I live, I consider myself fortunate to get any kind of broadband service.
Clear was advertising for a local project engineer here a year or so ago, so I'm hoping they'll be offering Wimax service at some point. | |

Banks, OR | Home Plan Business model I don't see how they're going to succeed with the home plan. They appear to only be deploying in areas already served by Comcast, Verizon, and/or Qwest. Being the third entrant to a territory means they need to compete on price alone; not easy.
Of course, they did not deploy in my neighborhood, or anywhere near. If they did, they'd own the broadband market here. | |

| | Pushing it hard It was sad in a way seeing them in multiple parts of the city trying to push that product on people in the rain today. They were by Powels Books on Burnside and on Broadway by the Portland State Univeristy Campus.
Students are not going to pay for it I would imagine since they have free wireless and by Powels Books .. Personal Telco offers some free wifi access points.
They were shoving the brochures in peoples hands. It was bad. Happy with Fios...
