Clearwire Technology

I barely have enough internet speed to write this Unilocal review, yet alone stream netflix. Moving the modem closer to the window is not the solution. I live in a high building in uptown dallas (the ideal clear environment) and my internet still doesn’t work more than 50% of the time. I don’t know which is slower, mid 90s AOL dial up or CLEAR? Please save yourself the frustration and spend the extra 10 bucks on an internet provider that works.

We moved into our house in Fairview in June. We have dish network and their partner is CLEAR. CLEAR SUCKS DONKEY D**K!!! They are literally the worst company I have ever dealt with. Their customer service and connection is the worst in the business. I hate this company and will never use them again and I will make sure that I go out of my way to make sure that my family and friends do not either.

i don’t Unilocal very often but i went out of my way for this one! clear internet is a joke! definitely do not recommend it! so many things factored into whether or not i would connect to the internet. including the weather, placement of the router, having my window opened or closed. it was just horrible! and as in weather, i mean, that if it was raining or snowing, don’t even try to get online because it isn’t going to work!!!
there were several other issues but i guess the most important is that this internet provider does not provide internet.lol.
so my advice would be to do whatever you can do get your internet provided by any other company!!!
save yourself!!!

I switched to Clear after getting bad service from ATT. I don’t know which one was worse. The Clear connection was never good, I got knocked off all the time and customer service was never much help. Their idea of fixing the problem was telling me to move the modem about an inch or put it closer to a window. I recently moved a few miles away from my previous location and found that the modem didn’t work at all. I called in and they told me they didn’t have service in my area so I asked to cancel the account. The rep told me he would email labels for returning the modems and that was the end of it.
Now a month later, I’m getting calls several times a day letting me know that I owe an $ 80 re-​stocking fee for cancelling my service. It doesn’t seem to matter that I would not have cancelled if their service had worked at my new location. So I guess it’s off to collections I go. I’m willing to take a stand and refuse to pay.

I was really surprised to see a bad review since I have nothing but positive things to say. I switched over and also got the Netbook with the built in WiMax. It is awesome. Super fast, connects everywhere in the metroplex and real easy to use. The bundled specials are a great value allowing you to customize your plan to what suits you best. I plan on adding the Roku box to allow me to stream Netflix videos as part of my monthly plan. Definitely the way of the future. Fast connectivity, portable and for one good price.

Until Unilocal comes up with an easy to use Windows mobile phone app then I’m going to be tethered to my laptop for a while. (Screw the iPhone :))
I don’t think this offer is still available but I got a home modem and usb antenna for $ 50. It uses WiMax technology which is all wireless so for your home modem, you just power up your modem, cross your fingers and hope it finds a signal. What I thought was stupid is they didn’t build a WiMax modem with a wifi router built in so I’m back to having a modem & wireless router again. The speeds are quite good from personal experience rather that actual data, I’d say its up there with dsl, cable but not up with fiber. I usually get 3 out of 5 green lights.
The usb antenna can be used anywhere Clear is deployed. I’ve been good pretty much everywhere I’ve tried it but I’m weary when I travel to smaller towns. We’ll see.
To compare — I think my old home at&t dsl was about $ 60 and I had a EVDO mobile card from Sprint for $ 80. So Clear is definitely cost effective and I bet coverage & speeds will get better.
