Anybody try this yet? Starting up in major cities, unless it goes bust. Requires their proprietary modem.

    I live just outside of austin, TX and while Austin is covered by Clear, I am not in the coverage map by a small amount. I do know people that are using this as their primary internet connection and are happy with it. I think I heard 6mb/s but I am not sure. It is apparently very line of site and I live in an area with many hills.

    I currently have Clear as my broadband provider and have been EXTREMELY disappointed. Their sales pitch claims do not match up to reality. They claim...

    "Unlimited data usage – no extra usage charges
    No preset download speed cap"

    but in fact if you use too much download bandwidth they will start to randomly reset your connection (this can last anywhere from 30 secs to several hours) and start throttling your bandwidth. Trying to speak with their customer service only adds to the frustration as nothing gets resolved.

    If you have any doubts of my claims, LIKE their official Facebook page and watch how many people post similar stories to mine on their wall.

    So if you have any other viable broadband options, AVOID THIS COMPANY!
