In fact, when last year they combined Sprint assets with Clearwire's, along with an infusion of cash from Intel and Comcast, they rebranded the new service as Clear.

And, it's been well known for the past year that the old pre-WiMax customers on Clearwire would see their networks eventually upgraded to the new Clear true WiMax.

What sort of business is this, that you're purveying old news as new???]]>Sep 24th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/

Of course those who sign up with clearwire will be upgraded to clear down the road when it comes to your area from what my local rep told me.

I'm considering going with clearwire but the thing is that I hear various stories bout its service. Most of them not good. And I don't know if I'd get good quality internet from them. I game (360 Elite) and I download a lot of music so I want to be able to do those things without losing connection all the time and suffering from lag. Despite how much I hate TWC the one thing I can say for them is that I've never had any issues with the internet itself (aside from being expensive).

My ideal situation would be to bundle tv and internet with clear but I hate the idea of my phone signal relying on my internet. Which is why I haven't even considered Vonage.]]>Sep 24th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/
Must be a regional thing.

Oh and also, they have poorly trained employees. I went into a store and nobody there knew if the service worked with Macs. I tried their live online chat. Same story. I finally called them in person (after finding a Leopard Beta driver with no help from them on their own site) and asked if it was compatible with Snow Leopard. "Tech Support:" "I dunno."

This makes me wonder how many other stories on here are just pulled out of thin air when someone emails a "tip."

It appears though that Clearwire is in the process of switching all their current tech and subscribers upwards to the Clear service like I said right above you.

If so that's excellent. I need to talk to my parents about this cuz from everything I'm reading online

Clearwire = SUCKS

Clear = WIN

So I'm def interested. And since Verizon FIOS will probably never show up in my area (Ral, NC) I'll probably go with Clear instead. Unless U-Verse get their shit together and reaches my address finally.]]>Sep 24th 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/Sep 24th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/The company and the technology aren't going to go anywhere until they start convincing the hardware companies that they need devices that support Wi-Max, *and* 3G.

It's a chicken and egg problem. Who's going to by a device that can only be used in a handful of locations? If I can't get data in the vast majority of the country, then it's useless. WiFi is just as useless in most circumstances.

Practically every device that supports 3G also supports 2G, so why don't the 4G devices support 3G?

I'm in Geek Squad here and we have a guy come in and sell Clear at our store on a regular basis. He told us that it's just Clear now. He also set up one of their modems for us and it's really freakin fast. What's sad is the connection we use for work is 3Mbps and theirs is like 5! Best Buy should just use Clear for their Internet needs where possible. ]]>Sep 24th 2009 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/Sep 24th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/Sep 24th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/Sep 24th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/Sep 24th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/Sep 24th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/clearwire-renaming-itself-clear-getting-a-logo-makeover-too/Sep 24th 2009 2:45PM
