$35 per month only for the first 2 months!!!they want people to start with their 3g/4G service and then switch over to 4g only service later:))) i would rather wait for 4G only service.... by the way you could actually see their 4g tower placements if you go to clear.com and put in your zip and then check 4G coverage ....if it does not show, hit refresh a few times:) | |

Unofficial coverage is in many unannounced citiesCheck out this map, reported by an Android app that finds WiMAX signals. » www.sensorly.com/Map/4G/ ··· wimax-spLots of unannounced markets have Clear 4G active today. If you have an Android phone (any carrier), download the app and you can check out much more detailed 4G maps down to street level, even if on another carrier. | |

Re: Unofficial coverage is in many unannounced citiesSearch for 'sensorly' in the Market. I think the apps is on iPhone as well. | |

Re: Unofficial coverage is in many unannounced citiesI like that the Clear maps now show exactly where all the towers are, at least in my market.
Also, the site shows LA as 'recently announced' but not on the map yet. Might be announced soon. | |

Re: $35 per month only for the first 2 months!!! I live in Kent, WA and I have the Clear 4G WiMAX Desktop Modem Unlimited/1Mbps service. At one time I had the Clearwire 2Mbps/256Kbps service. If I lived in New York City this would work out great for me because I still have my original 3G WiMAX Clearwire modem inside it's original box with the manual and everything else that came with it. | |

NYCSouth of Houston St. and up in the Inwood and Washington Heights signal has been available for about 6 weeks. Also a few places around Northern NJ have it. Jersey City, Union City, North Bergen, Bergenfield, Secaucus, Newark, Hillside, Elizabeth have been online for a few weeks now.
As of a week ago, Midtown Manhattan was offline... has this changed? | |

Re: NYCI was in SoHo on Saturday would this work on my Evo 4G? I forgot to check around for 4G. | |
|
| | |
Re: NYCDownload the 'sensorly' map viewer app for Android. You can go to SoHo on the map and see if it has a 4G signal. It would only show coverage if someone else visited the site with the Sensorly app running. That is, if the map doesn't show coverage doesn't mean it doesn't have it. Man, triple negatives. | |

Re: NYCWhen the app is running with 4G radio turned on, it automatically uploads coverage info (with signal strength) to the site. The more people who use it, the more the map will grow. | |

Re: To Much too Hope ForHmm, spend money to serve ~55K people or ~8M. I'm sure it was a touch decision for Clearwire. | |

Re: To Much too Hope ForOh I know that all too well. We are a very small market. What makes it tough is living 10 mile North of the Colorado border and we can look south 50 miles, or so, and see all of these great services going in and we know we just might as well be on the dark side of the Moon. | |

Re: To Much too Hope ForYou guys *do* have decent connectivity up there, via folks like Visionary Communications. Theoretically Clear shouldn't have too hard of a time starting things up...and they've deployed in smaller markets before. | |

Oh Mister New York man, Wyoming does not get get much of anything. We don't ask and because of the present climate in Washington we don't get. But unlike most states our budget is balanced, we live with in our means. Of course if I had to pay all of the taxes somebody in New York State has to pay I might just make such a vacuous statement as well. How does it feel to feed your tax money into the bottomless pit of New York City. If it is a choice between low taxes, and wide open spaces, or 4G and living elsewhere good bye 4G. | |

Tower to customer I bet they would get more business out of those 55,000 that don't have access to broadband now, then they will from the 8 million who have acess to every kind of broadband. | |

Last I checked, even att doesn't even provide basic 2g voice service in cheyenne... Tmobile at least does, but still. You probably have a long, long wait ahead of you. | |

You probably have a long, long wait ahead of you. You are correct, at least for AT&T. We have other service but we don't have some of the bells and whistles. Cheyenne does not have much in the way of choices, a. iPhone, iPad 3G even if I was interested in either don't have much in the way of service around here. | |

The Blogosphere bullcrapI was pumped up when I saw this story. Then I realized that the Blogosphere has struck again, more nonsense for $8 a month. WiMax is NOT IN NYC!! I checked my handy FCC mobile broadband test for speed, in Queens, without a WiFi connection AND my Evo's 4G capability turned on and wa-la, 1.42Mbps down and 620 Kbps up with 124 ms of latency. Not the 3 to 5 Mbps I experienced in Reading, Pa last month. Is somebody creating buzz for $$/click ? Certainly no truth here, just BPB, Blogpost baloney! Please stop the nonsense, you're making up stories. | |

Re: The Blogosphere bullcrapMy EVO has been spotting 4G for months. In most cases speed is same as 3g.3+ down 1up. Parkslope, LIC, yesh univ area only exception 7+ 1 up according to speedtest ap. Hype, but as with all wireless carriers...they lie | |

Re: The Blogosphere bullcrapI have both an EVO phone and a Clear fixed modem for home. My Evo can get up to 8Mbps and the fixed modem can get 10-15Mbps.
On the phone, I have issues with the Android speedtest apps. Sometimes it might show only 1Mbps but if going to a website, it shows 8Mbps. Through tethering and downloading actual files, was able to confirm 8Mbps even though a speedtest app may consistently show 1-2Mbps. | |

Tried it, seems OKAbout two months ago I was able to try the service for the week end (a co-worker's wife resells the service and let me borrow a modem). Despite being a mile from two different towers (per the site's Google map), the signal quality was 1 bar and speeds were Kbps, not Mbps. I was disappointed. At my work location and I had five bars and it was very fast (8Mbps down, around 1Mbps up). My issue is latency. It wasn't bad (85ms) but not as fast as I would like for a first hop. I know they are adding more towers in my area but if they get less than a mile of coverage per tower, they'll need lots of them to provide good coverage. And just so everyone knows, I live in a subdivision with the word "hill" in it's name and I'm at the top of the hill. The subdivision is 32 years old with lots of large, mature trees but that has to be common problem to overcome. | |
