I continue to hear from a few of the “competition is breaking out all over” crowd claim that people who can’t get DSL service from Frontier and don’t want Road Runner after “things just aren’t the same with us anymore — the trust is gone,” can jump to Clearwire and they will live happily ever after. Sure, if you are well within their current service area, depicted below for the Rochester market. They aren’t available in any of the other “experiment” markets in western New York. By the way, I am told their speeds currently max out around 2.1Mbps. That’s slower than DSL. If anyone here uses them and would like to write up a review, please let me know.
Clearwire is available here in the Triad, has been for a little while… unless you mean “experiment” markets around rochester.
Thanks for pointing this out. I have clarified it. I have grabbed maps for the Triad region and will them up shortly as well.
Not to mention they come with a 1 or 2 year contract and buried in their TOS is a reference to a $10/GB overage charge!
Not to mention Time Warner is a partner. Sprint is the main owner, but Time Warner has a piece or stake in Clear Wire as well.
