It might be fine if you're a grandma who checks email once a week, but if you want to download a large file, watch videos -- you'll quickly find that they throttle your connection down to .2 - .5 mbps and brand you a "high volume user."
@TheDystopiaInside I completely agree, I used to have Fios but then got Clear cause apparently it was good and new and fast. But after a bit of using it it's complete shit. Slow speeds, I use the internet everyday. No WiFi router to come with, you have to pay extra monthly. And they have many server problems
I live in a pseudo large city about 2 miles from downtown. My Clear ISP is the worst, shittiest connection I have ever endured, and I come from Australia so you know that's bad .I'd finish watching your 5:31 video but I don't have 20 minutes to wait downloading it .I'm glad at least you had some luck with them.
My modem looks completely different. Has the lights on top...and they just recently upgraded me to the 4g connection....Not too bad now..I can watch this video with ease :)
Clear has become worse...I have Clear but I am out in a more rural area...I am almost outside the coverage area... Whenever network traffic is heavy, I really get the blunt end of it... Sometimes my bandwidth drops to near 56k speeds...I guess those closer to the tower get priority connection and that just sucks ass..
My speed here in Australia is 7.98mbs, 100GB and costs $79 a month.
Naturally my network choice is Belkin wireless G mimo and is networked to my printer, home PC wired. And 2 laptops wireless. Might do a video some day when I've got time.
good video, I liked seeing your network setup lol, yeah sure post a speed test.. you should also make a video showing your new place and your car : ) just an idea anyways good vid
cool dude ive had clearwire for 6 years now just upgraded to CLEAR as well recently...just to worn you it will be fast for maybe the first month than it slows down ive had better luck though with the CLEAR than Clearwire 3g and when you call they play stupid and the only way out is the cancellation fee...
the only reason why i still have it is because i cant get cable and this is only broadband connection available as i live in the country
I live in the only city in my country to have only one ISP which is based locally and won't upgrade their gear. We are getting this kind of wireless service from other companies here now though, can't say I think much to them, though I can't speak for the provider you are using, as long as it works for you I guess.
Is it common to have this wireless connections from your ISP in USA? It's not that common in Sweden. I have a LAN connection in my apartment that comes from my ISP. I don't need any modem or anything. If I only have one computer, i just plug it into tat LAN socket. But I have other devices that need internet as well, so I have a D-Link DIR-655 router.
Im using charter right now and i get 20mbps average download of 1-2 mb/s so i dont know if this would be faster i just looked they only offer up to 10 mbps but charter is so unreliable they suck xD haha
@kellafella I thank it like 54 a month not to bad + the ppl that own claer is time warner ther get'in big'er ther in houston I was go'in to get them but i move to back to my home town ther not hear yet but wen they r I well get them
Nice, in Australia you pay $54 and get like 1GB or 2GB if you're lucky. I friend pays $89 to get 2GB but everything in Australia is expensive. I am paying $80 to get 8mbps and 40GB download 20peak and 20 offpeak.. Pretty expensive i think.
Cleae is piece of fucking shit. Can't watch youtube without it buffering every there seconds. It even takes around an hour to download 10 MB

I'm planning to get this ISP, since @Comcast got a damn monopoly in NorCal; it doesn't help the fact they have crap service, everywhere they are.
On the other hand, I'll definitely miss being in LA, especially Verizon FiOS.
