Clear 4G vs. Brighthouse-RoadRunner (Orlando, FL)

[disgaea02majin]

Most of the time Clear reaches about 500kb/s but it's mostly 50kb/s the whole freaking day. Same speed I get with DSL. Sup with that!?!

@Rescueballs, this test was comparing one $40 a month internet service with another $40 internet service, Apples to Apples. I am VERY aware of the many other broadband options available however they would classify as Oranges in this comparison.

[Rescueballs]

this test is flawed...

you are paying brighthouse for 10 Mbps.. so your going to get 10Mbps.. If you paid them for their 40Mbps speeds, you would be getting 40 Mbps..

Also you clearwire is dependent on local usage and will not be as consistent and stable as a physical line.

or since your in orlando there is this company you might have heard of called verizon with fios.. im paying $48/month with them and getting 38 down and 17.5 up consistent

@Rescueballs fios doesn't serve orlando.

There's a new modem with Wi-Fi built-in that Clear now offers.

And, take note to not purchase ANY modem. Not yet at least.

Because you (we) are using Beta WiMax.

The true WiMax is yet to come, in about a year, that will be as fast as Verizon FiOS.

oooo hell yes. i have directtv internet service and we are only getting 1.47 mb/s for download. for upload we are getting 0.39 mb/s. i cant wait till i get brighthouse

[AJM345678]

@badmuthur Why Brighthouse? Clear internet is only $45 a month? Let me know if you are interested.

[badmuthur]

@AJM345678 well we alredy ordered it but its not my decision on the internet. but hell i aint complaining id rather have 9mb/s than a whopping 1.47mb/s. lol
