Oh give it a rest, they started service in Dallas 2 months ago. Gow up and check stuff out before you sign 2 year contracts. I bought the modem and pay month to month. I get between 7 and 8 Mbps down and .5 to .9 up consistently. They are still building towers and have some pretty incredible backing. It will take time for them to have solid coverage in the DFW area.

Never signed a 2 year contract, buddy. My experience with gangreen was shortlived. Tried it out for 3 days and sent it back. And what is up with excusing them from acting like a competitive firm is supposed to act if we truly believe in free market capitalism? I would be cheering them on if they didn't receive $ 2 bn in stimulus funds and if they were actually expanding their wimax service out of their own savings, derived from actually offering a reliable service in the first place.

[dfwclearwimaxtruth]

Gangreen is just another example of the neocorporatist mentality; receive stimulus from government so that you can socialize your expansion costs, avoiding the need to have had proven savings. A firm that is actually subject to the regulation of the free market and not government subsidies can only expand on the basis of its savings and creditworthiness. This provides the incentive to plan properly and come out with a good product.

[dfwclearwimaxtruth]

Since Gangreen has had its "Wimax" expansion costs socialized from all the stimulus funding, now it only needs to offer a crappy-mediocre product at best to establish a profit.

You're connected to the WA server ...Why? You're in Dallas aren't you? >.> Connect to the Dallas server

[dfwclearwimaxtruth]

the dallas server was giving me an even worse ping than WA. this is a problem with clear's infrastructure. how can you claim to be as reliable as dsl when your latency on local servers is 200ms?

[R3z1n8t3dlungz]

CLEAR KEEPS ANNOYING ME

@R3z1n8t3dlungz Believe me I paid attention to what was going on. Folks don't believe the Clear people - I've had this service for three months and done everything but stand on my head. The signal is so bad that half the time my VoIP won't work. I have promises of tower upgrades by mid-June but I don't believe them. Sometimes the USB modem works great - and sometimes it sucks.

The folks who tell you otherwise are either naive or lying or else really really lucky.

at 2:25 the speed test was performed on a server in Seattle WA, 50 miles away from the person who was running the speed test. Obviously this wasnt performed in dallas on the clear network... Nice try though dude.

I can hook you up with NO activation fee and get you $25 visa gift card... jimmii5vo @ hotmail

[springer18]

look at the speed test he selected the server all the way on the other side of the states i have wimax and i get 15 megs if hes in dallas he needs to select the dallas server

[vince277]

Interesting. I cannot speak for the service in DFW, I do know that in Chicago the service is pretty good, and improves weekly as new towers go online.

As for those who are concerned about how strong or how fast the service will be at your house: find an authorized retailer. They will likely come to your house and actually test the signal before ever selling you the service.
