My understanding is that Cleawire is repurposing their spectrum for LTE. isn't that a zero sum game ? Are these guys (technically) legitimate or are they just trying to milk the last cents out of an already obsoleted Wimax infrastructure ?
BTW, I've used Clear for 6 months about two years ago in the DFW area & my experience was nothing short of horrendous.
- joezydeco 14y agoThey're technically legit. I have one of their Sleeve Rocket devices for the iPod Touch 4 and it works identically to the Clearwire WIMAX service I have at home. I have no idea what happens when their infrastructure switches to LTE. Now with Dish/Echostar getting spectrum and maybe making a deal, I think the switchover is going to be on hold for a bit. I've had better experience with Clearwire, mainly because I'm about 500 yards from a tower and don't use a mobile device at home. Their signal really fades in and out as you go mobile with this Freedompop device. I wouldn't rely on it for 100% service if you're trying to replace a phone with a cheap iTouch.
