Chicago, IL | Good luck I wonder when the tin foil hats will claim that this is causing defects in Portlands children? | |

@umbc.edu | 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. | |

Avalon, NJ | 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... | |

Golden, CO | 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. | |

| 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. | |
