teddy-dbear | Morning peoples | 12:10 |
InHisName | mornin' bear & 2 peoples | 12:36 |
InHisName | 3 | 12:36 |
InHisName | anyone using clear for their internet ? | 13:58 |
JonathanD | yeah | 14:11 |
teddy-dbear | me too | 14:17 |
InHisName | Tell 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 |
InHisName | Using dongle or home modem ? | 14:23 |
teddy-dbear | I use a mobile hot spot | 14:23 |
InHisName | is that a usb dongle or a box ? | 14:24 |
teddy-dbear | not very fast | 14:24 |
JonathanD | I have the home modem, and the dongle. | 14:24 |
teddy-dbear | small (pocket sized) box | 14:25 |
JonathanD | The home modem is acceptable for browsing and even netflix and such, but not very good for gaming. | 14:25 |
InHisName | is the mobile hot spot just deliver wi-fi only ? | 14:25 |
teddy-dbear | yep | 14:25 |
InHisName | JonathanD: do you have the basic .5m/up 1m/down or the faster 6m/down & 1m/up ? | 14:26 |
JonathanD | The faster. | 14:26 |
InHisName | you pay like $50 month for service ? | 14:27 |
teddy-dbear | http://www.clear.com/ | 14:27 |
JonathanD | InHisName: yeah. | 14:27 |
JonathanD | InHisName: more cause I have a dongle too. | 14:27 |
JonathanD | I think it's $80 total. | 14:27 |
InHisName | Already been there and called them too. Lotta 'specials' | 14:27 |
rmg51 | the hot spot is good when you can't get any other signal | 14:29 |
InHisName | Can 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 |
JonathanD | The box would have to support the specific dongle. | 14:30 |
InHisName | Does the dongle deliver equivalent speeds as the modem, or is it weeker in that deparment? | 14:30 |
JonathanD | I think it is able to deliver similar speeds, but it also has smaller antenna. | 14:30 |
JonathanD | So maybe outdoors? | 14:30 |
InHisName | is the download speed affected by signal strength or position within the house ? | 14:32 |
InHisName | JonathanD: 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 |
JonathanD | it seems pretty reasonable, 95% of the time. | 14:41 |
JonathanD | Occasionally I've had issues. | 14:41 |
JonathanD | I get 4 out of 5 bars on my modem. I should really move it upstairs. | 14:42 |
JonathanD | I do get at or near (or somtimes above) 6mb) | 14:42 |
InHisName | I took the plunge, ordered the not quite so 'new' home modem for clear with $50 service. Comes with $100 cash card. | 16:38 |
* ChinnoDog yawns loudly | 18:18 | |
InHisName | So, ChinnoDog, what have you been up to this morning and early aft ? Hopefully not yawning the whole blessed time. | 18:20 |
ChinnoDog | That and working. | 18:27 |
