Due to schedule of officially launch in Portland on January 2009, now in early December, Clear (Clearwire’s brand name for WiMAX service) begin to allow customer to sign in the service contract for the WiMAX network. At Clear’s official Website https://www.clear.com/ ,state that Clear has Portland covered all over the town.

Sam Churchill (Dailywireles) has experience how easy to take order of the service plans at Clear’s office. He signed up Home internet plans, choose their mid-level service (“fast”) that delivers unlimited (3M down/384K up) internet access. It costs $30/month and additional activation fee for $35.

Sam choose the gear which is Motorola WiMAX residential modem and gets 3 out of 5 bars. He confess it’s about as fast as his cable modem but Clear is cheaper than 3Mbps DSL or Cable Modem service.

Sam made self-test of internet connection speed compare with Comcast Cable Modem (local broadband provider).The result is Clear get 3031Kbps (download), 383 Kbps (upload)

and for the Comcast get 4229 Kbps (download), 375 Kbps (upload).

Final result Comcast has faster internet connection.

And then he checked Comcast’s Cable Modem price, their service cost him more, $22.99/month ($19.95/mo for service (no tv cable) plus $3/month for the modem). After 3 months he would have to pay $52.95 for the same 3 Mbps service.

Clear WiMAX is smart choice for internet service. it delivers the speed as advertised. And more than cable modem, it easy to connect and city wide hotspot.

For Mobile internet service,Clear boast offer fast mobile download speeds up to 4 Mbps and upload speeds of 384Kbps.
Lets check out the service plan rate.For Unlimited monthly usage it cost $50, for frequent (2GB of monthly usage) it cost $40,and for the occasional (200MB of monthly usage) it cost $30.And there is special 24 Hour Pass for only $10/day (coming soon). Clear take additional cost of activation fee for $35 each plan.

For the gear, Clear offer Clear USB modem for $49.99 (for Mobile internet), Clear Modem for $4.99/month (for Home or Business internet).All price are exclude sales tax.

Look at the Clear USB Modem, definitely it is Motorola USBw100 that unveiled on Sept 23. And for Clear Home/Business Modem is Motorola CPEi 150.
