Clear was charging me $49 for a 0.43mb/s,

All im saying is, If you cant guarantee the your service you promised the customer do not sale it Money hungry fags

@vmtz2001 Oh and guess what its feb and i still have a -1mb/s speed,

So i just canceled last week and went back to roadrunner where i get a 28 mb/s down speed and pay only $39 a month,

@vmtz2001 LoL I live 2 blocks from TOWER! NOW ITS MY LOCATION? PFFFT PLEASE!!! and it dont even matter anymore i dont have that shitty internet anymore, i waited the 3 months credited because they said ''theyr'e working on my tower due to slow speeds and major high latency and the work on tower would be completed december,,

@clanbozz Clearwire doesn't pretend to work in every location. It all depends on your location.

[Enthef]

Your speeds all depend on how close you are to the company's cell towers on any carrier you go with. The carrier in your case is prolly throttling your traffic because of the constant torrents you download on their network 24/7. Clear's network has been setup to turn up LTE speeds at anytime. They have performed live trials on this technology. Search for clearwire 20x20 on utube. This technology is the future and it will get better as more sites go up everywhere.

@Clear4GInfo fuck you and youre shitty internet. If i seen you trying to sell that shitty isp around here ill cut youre fucking throat., Yes thats how much i hate cleat, I Have it now and getting 0.43 mb/sdownpeeds already for 4 months,, then i call and complain and all they did was gave me 3 months free of internet because they couldnt fix my speeds. lol pathetic. wwwwclearwiresuckscom they have many lawsuits aganst them for MAJOR FALSE ADVERTISING,, lying to people. Fast internet yea RITE

@Clear4GInfo your spam is just proof how crap wimax technology is, A good reliable fast service wouldn't need to hire ppl in this fashion, it would be common knowledge that its good by word of mouth, and the words coming from my mouth on this subject is wimax is slow unpredicatble and way too over priced for a network that has less overhead than dsl or cable. Avoid wimax if you have a choice! for it is a very poor internet solution. its only good if you live very close to the tower.
