[09:27] <rmg51> Morning
[09:28] <JonathanD> Morning.
[12:05] <waltman> Morning.
[12:10] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples
[12:36] <InHisName> mornin' bear & 2 peoples
[12:36] <InHisName> 3
[13:58] <InHisName> anyone using clear for their internet ?
[14:11] <JonathanD> yeah
[14:17] <teddy-dbear> me too
[14:22] <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?
[14:23] <InHisName> Using dongle or home modem ?
[14:23] <teddy-dbear> I use a mobile hot spot
[14:24] <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.
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <InHisName> JonathanD: do you have the basic .5m/up 1m/down or the faster 6m/down & 1m/up ?
[14:26] <JonathanD> The faster.
[14:27] <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'
[14:29] <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 ?
[14:30] <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?
[14:32] <InHisName> is the download speed affected by signal strength or position within the house ?
[14:39] <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  ?
[14:41] <JonathanD> it seems pretty reasonable, 95% of the time.
[14:41] <JonathanD> Occasionally I've had issues.
[14:42] <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)
[16:38] <InHisName> I took the plunge, ordered the not quite so 'new' home modem for clear with $50 service. Comes with $100 cash card.
[18:18]  * ChinnoDog yawns loudly
[18:20] <InHisName> So, ChinnoDog, what have you been up to this morning and early aft ?  Hopefully not yawning the whole blessed time.
[18:27] <ChinnoDog> That and working.
