mobile broadband

www.clearwire.com

i just got my kit in today..... it says "coming soon" on the website, but i have been using it all day... best thing about this... its cheap! and portable...

1.5 Mbps .... not sure thats considered fast... all i know is that its faster than my roadrunner

from what i heard...its taking hawaii by storm...especially UH students-

at the next meet i'll be sporting it- forget T-mobile hotspots... tEh suxors!

Installed one temporarily for a client..., only "one or more" downside is to make sure you have all 5 leds solid

so r u planning to carry the Clearwire modem with u now?

 

how much was it, whats the coverage like, and how do i get it?

 

been looking for an option like this. however, just like Justin asked... what's the coverage like

 

how much? can't get a qoute from the site.

 

its about $42 a month which includes the service and leasing the modem. There's supposedly good coverage from kaimuki to waipahu, some of the westside, and working on hawaii kai, kailua, kaneohe and a few others. More coverage comes up everyday.

They're working on reducing the size of the modem (its about half a folder paper now). On average you should get about 1.5mbps while i've seen and heard 2.5-3 in some places.

If you want more info I've met a local reseller who might contact people interested.....and I'm considering trying to become one too

 

^^^ what he said. one of my business partners really hooked me up solid! i pay 1 dollar a month, for the next 2 months... after that i will pay 42/mo. so far the coverage is excellent. at least in aiea... right now i am at queens hospital in a waiting room.... 5 full lights.... i plan on using it on the road for a test on this particular product

it's a video phone that i just recieved last week- and i have another one on the way- if the coverage is good enough, i have a knight rider 2000 baby!

yeah i think the $1 a month applies for july and august

 

F**kin sucks~!!!!! No coverage in Kunia!!!! Just like Hawaiian Telcom...

 

it said no coverage in aiea, but i'm sitting in aiea right now in my car postin away... go figure, next time i am driving in kunia i'll give it a shot

Please greg... that would be awesome.

 

the guy who does the sales just called me and i got a bit of info. apparently they do have coverage from honolulu to at least my place in waipio so chuckie they should be at your door soon. the modem is wired for the time being but hopefully soon they will have a usb powered one. speeds an go up to 1.5MB but he said he has seen higher in town, up to 2MB. upload speeds are up to 256kb which isn't too bad considering. if anyone wants to know more i have the guys # so send me a pm and i'll give it to you. they are also doing a refferal program so get your friends on this. nothing huge, like a $10 gift card or something but free is free. i'm seriously considering this but i do wanna get a modem that doesn't req a power source. hope this helps someone.

one more thing, if you call them and want o order they come to you! they will bring you the modem and all the paperwork so you don't have to drive into town.
