$10.00 questionI will stick to Comcast but the $10.00 plan may come in handy when doing the auction ebay thing. | |

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. | |

Re: Are You Kidding?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. | |

Re: Are You Kidding?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. | |

Re: Are You Kidding?We will see who comes out on top.. XOHM plans or Clear plans.. I wonder.. | |
|
| | | | |
Re: Are You Kidding?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. | |

Re: Are You Kidding?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. | |

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

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. | |

LookHey keep in mind your comparing the mobile plans
Look at the Home plans - those compare nicely with Comcast and ext | |
|

Dickson, TNBring it on! I'll pay 50 for unlimited in a heart beat... Beats 45 a month for isdn, plus roughly 24 for isp.. Not to mention the speed boost!!
Bring it!!! | |
|

Something's Funky...Karl's note states "The home plans come in three flavors with no caps: 768kbps/128kbps for $20, 3Mbps/384bps for $30, and 6Mbps/512kbps for $50" but the graphic next to the text above states that the home rates are $20/$30/$40" | |

Interesting move on PortlandThat area down there was also an early FiOS market and is Comcast territory. A lot of tech folks in the western suburbs and the city of Portland is chock full of young educated hipsters. No surprise on their decision to launch in Portland.
I can see the $30/3Mb plan getting action for the home plans. People are cutting back, and face it, 3Mb would cut it for alot of the internet users out there.
But $50 for 6Mb is over the top since FiOS is available at that price for 20Mb - and then there's Comcast.
Intel is the largest private employer in Oregon with their operations in the western Portland suburbs. | |

Re: Interesting move on PortlandI just switched to Clear home service(6mb/$40)from comcast simply for the fact that it gives me more than enough speed for my use, yet I have the option to take my modem with me and get service in other locations. I'm located in Portland, and have already used my modem in Beaverton and Hillsboro. Heck, with a power converter, I can even use it in my car. Also, I'm month to month, so, worst case, I'm out just a $35 activation fee, and I can go back to comcast. Now, it'll be interesting to see the speed and connection consistancy as more users begin to sign up. | |

$50 looks doableThe $50 unlimited mobile plan would be the ideal plan. 4/384 unlimited and you can even do it "away" from home? Looks good! | |

IntelPortland is the home of Intel so that probably has something to do with it too. | |

Re: IntelIntel's R&D for Wimax is based in Oregon. Thats why they're down there. | |

Need CompetitionI just signed another year with Fios/Verizon. I live near Portland. My old rate was 39.99 for 5/2, which they no longer offer. My new package is 10/2 @47.99,double my speed for 8 dollars. In these times Verizon need to offer lower speed for a lower cost. I dont need to go faster. | |

$30 for 200MB?Wow for $30 I get 5GB from ATT on my IPhone, Its not 4Mbps downstream but I'm at 155MB network usage and I'm not on it all the time. I'd feel sorry for anyone with a 200MB cap on a notebook. | |

Bad Marketing?They have several large billboards on the highway that say
stel eb raelc (Or jumbled to that effect)
clear.com
Who is going to check it out? What are the selling?
They are not creating a "buzz" It it so stupid I wouldn't mention it to anyone except for BBR. | |
