| clearwire sucks
Clearwire is an awful service. I have clear premium, advertised 1.5mp/s down and 256kb/s up (lol), but my download speed is usually around 200kb/s - 400kb/s, and my upload speed is almost non-existant, below 100kb/s. The download speeds are always inconsistent, and I notice absolutely no difference in actual speed between this Clear Premium plan and the Clear Value plan (advertised 756kb/s down and 256kb/s up). That is, if I were to download something off of the internet, it would take the same amount of time to do it with the Clear Premium plan as it would with the Clear Value plan. This would not be a big problem for someone who just uses the plan to surf the web and check emails. But you can't watch youtube, download Linux distros, movies, music or anything through iTunes - nothing. Now that I'm unsatisfied with the service, I can do nothing about it for two years because if I cancel my contract I have to pay $200. When I do cancel it, it has to be exactly 2 years from the date when I signed up, or it will automatically lock me into a new contract. Don't go with Clearwire if you care about your money and getting what you pay for. |
