This looks like another result of CLEAR opening up their network for other vendors to sell their data. Freedompop is doing a similar thing, just without the Karma component to it.
Nice to see what happens when a company like CLEAR opens things up -- all sorts of innovation springs.
- ozi 14y agoExcept the CLEAR network blows. I used to have a couple retail stores and sold them off because I felt terrible getting so many complaints about service quality and could see the company already declining as key investors were pulling out. The nodes were initially unsaturated and speedy -- you could often get 15-20mbps on mobile hotspot. Now people are lucky to get 512kbps on their home modems in moderately dense residential areas.
- trotsky 14y agoOut of curiosity, do you know if this is more due to wimax cell saturation or backhaul limitations?
- blaines 14y agoClear throttles customers after a certain threshold. In addition ozi's comment is accurate.
- degroat 14y agoClear's network isn't great, but I really like the pay-as-you go aspect of this. Right now I'm paying $25 a month for an unlocked iSpot but I go weeks without using it.
