1 edit | new york city??? come on...this should have been the very first city that came live...i have a feeling that verizon will get to nyc faster than unclear...but nobody wants to pay MOST LIKELY $50 for 15GB cap;( | |

 | | | Re: new york city??? They are working on NYC and it's unofficially active in some areas. Should release by end of year or sooner. You probably would not have wanted NYC to be first though. They were using much less backhaul in the first cities. They are now doing up to 100Mbps backhaul in newer rollout cities.
It's highly likely that VZW LTE will cost more as they already said LTE will be sold in 'buckets of data' and for data cards only initially. There will be no unlimited option, so likely is not going after cable market. Clear is unlimited for now and if they add caps, will likely be better than VZW since Clear has more spectrum.
I'm paying $40/month for Clear fixed home modem and get 10-15Mbps, unlimited for now. $10 extra on EVO phone doesn't sound so bad given the new caps the others are coming out with. | |

San Antonio, TX | Now All they need to do is expand their coverage area like the promised down here and it will all be good. Sucks when your internet is out for 3 damn days. | |

Samsung really screwed HTC and Sprint with this one.

Was paying $140/month for cable and 7Mbps cable modem. Now paying $40/month for 10-15Mbps Clearwire, $10 for Hulu Plus and $12 Netflix with 4-5 BR discs a month. Don't miss cable at all. | |

I know if I fire up my FiOS at any point in the day I will get 15/5mb but I have yet to see Clearwire or any wireless service live up to the bench marks and I deal with wireless services on a daily basis due to work.
I would hate to be at the mercy of Clearwire for my only internet. | |
|
| | | | | Re: I would be interested in this Yeah, for now I actually get 10-15Mbps as I'm only a couple blocks from a site, am above the treeline and they are apparently doing 100Mbps backhaul at that site. So most Clear customers probably will not get that.
»Best way to test network performance
I'm not counting on it sustaining that long term and am just waiting for them to oversubscribe, but with large backhaul, it might sustain for a while. If not, I can always go back to TWC as I'm not under contract. | |

Parker, CO | Denver coming soon I noticed the signs for "public hearings" on Clearwire's request to add microwave antennas to some high-tension power line "poles". It doesn't list Denver as a city with coverage but it looks like it's coming very soon. The towers are right behind my house (at the bottom by the t in feet on the PDF). I'd be tempted to pick up an Overdrive unit and drop my DSL at home if it works as well as people say.

| | Just activated today I live in Jacksonville and it is a rather massive city. It so happens I ordered Clear today and I'm in a gray area, so my downstream speeds are hovering around 2.5Mbps at the moment, but my area will be lit 100%. As a former independent dealer for Clearwire, I can say even using the Clear service in a non guaranteed area is much better than their old service. I can actually maintain decent torrent download speeds (200KB/sec). I know it's not GREAT like the 1.2Mbps I get at the office, but all things considered and as a former user of the old service, this is a step in the right direction. | |

| | | Thanks for sharing your experience with Clear! It's really interesting to hear how much of a difference the 4G actually makes.

Roslindale, MA | Re: Just activated today Looking forward to Clear launching in Boston. I have tested it in one spot getting over 3 meg down. I was hoping it would launch in Nashville as I am going there Thursday, It may be live in spots, I will see. | |
|
| | Park slope BK 5MB down 1MB up I've seen the 4G pop op in random NYC and NJ areas as I travel with my EVO. PK slope while @ bandshell Fri i noticed stellar 4G.
LIC, Fort Ham BK, Staten Island, Clark, NJ, 86th and lex just outside sprint store.. comes and goes. and sometimes speed no good. I assume this = Sept the LTE and 4G wars begin. At least some options | |
