Ask HN: Any current CLEAR 4G WiMAX users out there willing to offer reviews?
I am looking to purchase a plan in Houston, Texas which according to CLEAR has great coverage (very likely), however, I am still curious about the following:
+ speed and stability of the connection (are folks really seeing the 6 mb/s download speed they advertise?)
+ presence of filters, bandwidth throttling, etc.
+ ease of setup
+ true cost of ownership
Also if anyone has terminated their two year contract early ... was it easy? unbelievably painful?
Comments
CLEAR in Chicago is pretty reliable, and speeds hit as advertised. I haven't come across any filters or throttling, but I didn't like the USB-only options or the pricing for roaming (3g) and ultimately went over to Sprint/Overdrive.
CLEAR in Chicago offers month-to-month for $40/mo. You sure about the 2 year commitment in Houston?
