InHisNameanyone using clear for their internet ?13:58
JonathanDyeah14:11
teddy-dbearme too14:17
InHisNameTell me about it.   What is max d/l and u/l speeds you measure ?   Do they vary or mostly the same day to day?14:22
InHisNameUsing dongle or home modem ?14:23
teddy-dbearI use a mobile hot spot14:23
InHisNameis that a usb dongle or a box ?14:24
teddy-dbearnot very fast14:24
JonathanDI have the home modem, and the dongle.14:24
teddy-dbearsmall (pocket sized) box14:25
JonathanDThe home modem is acceptable for browsing and even netflix and such, but not very good for gaming.14:25
InHisNameis the mobile hot spot just deliver wi-fi only ?14:25
teddy-dbearyep14:25
InHisNameJonathanD: do you have the basic .5m/up 1m/down or the faster 6m/down & 1m/up ?14:26
JonathanDThe faster.14:26
InHisNameyou pay like $50 month for service ?14:27
teddy-dbearhttp://www.clear.com/14:27
JonathanDInHisName: yeah.14:27
JonathanDInHisName: more cause I have a dongle too.14:27
JonathanDI think it's $80 total.14:27
InHisNameAlready been there and called them too. Lotta 'specials'14:27
rmg51the hot spot is good when you can't get any other signal14:29
InHisNameCan the dongle be fitted 'hacker wise' into a box that can plug into router to spread internet throughout the home ?   Or is just easier to use the modem to do that type of connection ?14:29
JonathanDThe box would have to support the specific dongle.14:30
InHisNameDoes the dongle deliver equivalent speeds as the modem, or is it weeker in that deparment?14:30
JonathanDI think it is able to deliver similar speeds, but it also has smaller antenna.14:30
JonathanDSo maybe outdoors?14:30
InHisNameis the download speed affected by signal strength or position within the house ?14:32
InHisNameJonathanD: how close to 6mb download do you get from clear when you are mostly idle ?   Does the busyness of a tower affect your limit  ?14:39
JonathanDit seems pretty reasonable, 95% of the time.14:41
JonathanDOccasionally I've had issues.14:41
JonathanDI get 4 out of 5 bars on my modem. I should really move it upstairs.14:42
JonathanDI do get at or near (or somtimes above) 6mb)14:42
InHisNameI took the plunge, ordered the not quite so 'new' home modem for clear with $50 service. Comes with $100 cash card.16:38
