I live in the Greater Northeast near the Philmont Train Station. My home is 17,500 feet from where Verizon DSL is available. I have tried Verizon and Cavtel DSL and had extremely slow speed. The excuse I received from Verizon and Cavtel was my distance from their transmission site.
In June I subscribed to Clear WiMAX 4G Home Internet. The system consists of a Motorola modem and is extremely easy to set up. I have all Apple Mac computers, laptop and desk. I use Apple Airport Express to transmit the WIFI.
When the Clear WiMax works I can receive uninterrupted Netflix streaming from my Apple TV and the reception is remarkable. The problem in that the Motorola WiMAX modem does not receive a signal from Clear at least once every other day or so.
Please let me explain further today July 4th got up absolutely no signal. Contacted Clear was pinged and when that did not work a ticket was created to correct the problem. Saturday July 1st got intermittent signal.
Thursday June 30th intermittent reception. You get the picture.
Clear WiMAX has great potential. Clear just has to keep the WiMAX up and running so one gets Home Internet.
Presently I cannot in all honesty recommend Clear, I find their service to be undependable and totally unacceptable. read more
