Clearwire?

[Mr. Switch]

I'm on dial up and i'm getting fed up with it. the dropped connections alone just make me angry. so this morning on my way into town, i heard an ad for an ISP called Clearwire. its a wireless ISP that uses cell towers instead of wires. on the ad, one of the people said that they installed their broadband access simply by plugging the modem into the wall socket, even though thats not true and you have to set up your connection settigns and protocals. well, the monthly fee for 1.5 MB download and 256k upload is about $35/month. and on the radio they said nothign abotu a big antenna being put on the roof or anything, just install in minutes by plugging in the modem. this makes sense because peoples cell phones work fine out where i am.

so,
does clearwire have bandwidth limits?
is it reliable?
should i use it?

bandwidth limits? prolly not, i didn tsee any limits posted on their site. reliable? prolly, as long as you get good cell phone service in your house. They have 24/7 tech support which is awesome. I'd at least try it.

Yeah, I would get it. I doubt anything could be worse than AOL....

Be carefull. Ive heard that often, people cannot get a good reception.
I would call them and check that they have a tower nearby, and that you are asured to get a good signal.
Anyway, $35pm is pretty good for a wireless connection.
