After suffering from substandard DSL for more than 4 years (distance
of me from the CO is greater than 12000 ft) and being promised higher
speeds for the last two that never materialized, I jumped ship to
Clearwire. My old ISP charged $55 a month for DSL and gave me
768kbps. Clearwire consistently delivers 1.5M and burstable to 2-3M
for $35/month.
Admittedly, I am a hop skip and a jump from the tower that broadcasts
the signal.
Sprint and Clearwire have been aligned to deliver the next gen
wireless, Wimax ( 75 Mbps) and Google recently partnered with them.
Short of Verizon actually getting their fiber plan into action, I
can't see anything being as good, especially when Clearwire release
their mobile modem for laptops.
