Anyone looking into Clear for internet service?
Now that you're in here, this is a 'lil plug for my DH. 
He started working for Clear when they launched the Austin market last month. They don't have as much coverage in the rural areas as they do in the city, but the coverage they have in the city is fast. Anyway, I can't quote you prices or anything like that, but I often see posts on here of people looking for internet options besides Time Warner, and this is a good one IMO. If you're interested, page me or drop me an email and I can get you in touch with the hubs. I'll buy your drink at the next GTG...if I ever make it to one again! srgarlan AT yahoo DOT com
Re: Anyone looking into Clear for internet service?
Yeah, it's limited outside the city right now, but it will get there! If they continue to be a good company as they grow bigger, I really think they can change the cost and speed of internet for the average person or small business owner who can't afford a T-1 line in their home/office.
I know the market is so small that its hard for it to be worth it for ISPs to make access available in areas like mine (I bet 75% of my neighbors, who are all at least acres, if not a mile or more away don't even have internet or care), but I bet those of us who do would snatch it right up, because satellite internet bites the big one!
Do you have Sprint 3G coverage out there? Because Clear makes a 3G/4G card that will work on either network (I assume it seeks out the fastest available). So if you are in an area that only has Sprint cell phone coverage, it will work off that. If you move into an area with Wimax coverage, it will work off that (a helluvalot faster). I know the 3G/4G card is more expensive though. Good luck out there! My sis and BIL have satellite internet at their home in Northern Minnesota and yeah, it's super flakey and pricey.
Believe me, he's alllll for them expanding. More service area = more commission of course.
I love having the card for travel. If you want to, email me your address and maybe he can find out if/when they are going to grow in that direction.
Awesome, K! Mind if I pass your email on to him? He will totally remember you guys from the Milwood GTG.
BTW, I think we need to do another Milwood GTG again one of these days. That was fun!
Sure, feel free. And another GTG would be fun!
