I recently published the unboxing of Clearwire’s USB Modem. I’ve used the modem for little less than a week now and ready to review the service and share my thoughts about it.
I did a little bit of research before laying my hands on Clearwire’s USB Modem for mobile internet. AT&T had no unlimited plans for data transfer and after using its services on iPhone there was no way in the hell I would have gone with it.
Though Sprint and Clear are sharing the same 4G network to offer internet on the go, the plans and packages they offer are very different.
Sprint does not sell without a 2 year contract, Clear does. Sprint’s 4G plans start from $49.99 a month and have a 5GB cap on the data transfer and the “unlimited” plan is priced at $69.99 a month.
Unlimited plan from Clear is priced at $30 for the first 6 months and $45 after that. Internet speed remains between 3mbps to 6mbps.
Also, you can either choose to pay around $50 and buy the USB modem or pay $5 each month for upto 2 years. Dont worry, this isn’t a contract you can buy the modem anytime you like to even before the two year period ends. Clearly, clear was a better choice for me.
Take a look at the Clear Modem Unboxing video before we dive into the performance details of the service.
I am pretty satisfied with the service and I am hoping it will remain the same as more and more users hook on to the network but even if it does not it will take quite some time for the network to be overloaded or cloged.
Again, I have no issues with the service so far and I love the speed.
I am travelling to Las Vegas early tomorrow morning to cover CES 2010. I plan to put Clearwire to test buy uploading videos from the event. If it does well there then there is no reason why you guys should go for another service.
Ill update this post once I am back from the event.
