Clearwire: Been there, done that, and have no "Internet Speeding" tickets to show for it.
I tried benchmarking the download and upload speeds on DSLReports.com as recent as this May, just prior to Verizon FIOS - FIOS rocks!
I was one of the first to get Clearwire in my area where I lived in Lynnwood, and those first few weeks, the service worked decent, speeds up to 1.5Mbps down, but only 120k up. Within a few weeks, once the Clearwire reps started getting some customers, the system slowed to a crawl and was getting on my nerves. It got to the point that upload speeds were faster than download speeds, and, you could certainly tell when the kids got home from school. AGONIZINGLY S L O W!!! My iPhone on 3G downloads about 3x as fast as Clearwire did, and about the same speed on Edge service, if that tells you anything. (I have no clue what the actual speeds are for AT&T 3G or Edge)
Hang on... Speedtest.net just posted :
1.19Mbps down on 3G
0.28Mbps upload on 3G
0.10Mbps down on Edge
0.01Mbps up on Edge
Sounds about right.
:nono: Clearwire - Just say NO.
