1 edit | overpriced? no... they have a 3 on the go for $80....
how could you get a cheaper deal than that? come on...maybe with sucky copper dsl from verizon? 768k sounds like a deal to you?
however, slow, throttled, capped, bad coverage might happen in new york...but hey who knows...maybe clear will be too scared to loose that many customers in new york?? but then again maybe they're too dumb and they will try to piss off new yorkers as well... | |

| | | | | Re: connected in Queens,NY did you actually try to walk around or drive with mobile 4G device and see how stable the connection is? how good is coverage/seamless handoff? anybody? | |
|
| | | | | | Re: connected in Queens,NY I've done it, so far so good, they maybe a minor slow down, but then it picks right up. | |
|
| | | | | | | Re: connected in Queens,NY did you try to use any mobile voip applications? how did that work out? is the coverage/speed of mobile 4G in nyc good enough to replace cell phones with mobile voip? | |

| | | | | said by ernstk:up speed varies a lot the best I got was 1.19 Mbps the rover stick specs says: Upload: Up to 1 Mbps (Download: Up to 3-6 Mbps) Klaus Clearwire throttles the _uploads_ to 1Mbps so that people don't use it as a major web/torrent server, etc. If VZW doesn't cap uploads with LTE, hopefully Clear will follow. I haven't had a need for >1Mbps upload yet though for phone, would be nice for home connection.
I sometimes get up to 10Mbps down on my EVO phone (KC, not NYC) and peaks 10-15Mbps on my home modem (though is often more like 6Mbps avg for both). Also tested while driving (not me) at 70Mph and no problems with switchoff.
Also try speakyeasy.net/speedtest on EVO web browser as the speedtest apps are sometimes finicky on 4G for some reason. | |

| | | There is a good amount of coverage in NYC area already. If on android/iphone (any carrier), check out the Sensorly Map app, or sensorly.com and look at the 4G map. The phone app shows street level coverage for a bunch of Sprint 4G cities not yet officially announced.

| | At this rate, Clearwire will be the next Metricom. They really need to improve service quality and make their business plan sustainable. | |
