Sprint Commits Another $1 Billion to Clearwire
Good move!
Terrible service! People are not even getting the download speed advertised.
Like any radio based technology, speeds do vary drastically, but regardless of whether I'm getting 8mbps, or 1.5-2mbps, the important thing is when I watch multimedia, video, like news clips, Hulu, it doesn't stop to buffer too long, and that I can say it doesn't.
And Clear does seem to be proactive with their network. Henderson which is just south of Las Vegas, is getting 16 new WiMAX towers, 4 of which are going to be near a mall, which happens to have a Clear store in it. So that's awesome. One of those towers is being turned in Nov. 23rd.

Trust me. WiMax can not get here soon enough. I can't wait. We are slotted for sometime 2Q or 3Q 2010. But I hope sooner. 😁
Btw, I'm originally from Connecticut. I've never really been to upstate NY, only Albany one time, but mostly the city.
Heads up, Clearwire (CLWR) will be announcing it's 3rd qtr info tomorrow!
