I have had Clearwire internet for almost a year now, and I must say that I am satisfied with their service so far. Although not the fastest, they make a great alternative to cable or DSL. The great thing about Clearwire is that it is portable. If you can find a wall outlet and you have a laptop, you can use Clearwire. This is because the company’s internet signal is distributed wirelessly. The other great thing about the product is that you can easily set it up yourself. You don’t need to schedule an appointment with a service technician to come to your house between 8 & 12 or 12 & 4. They only really seem to work during the week, so that makes it somewhat difficult to schedule an appointment if you have a standard 9-5 job Monday through Friday.

Clearwire is a bit cheaper than Comcast as well. You don’t get the speed, but you save with the portability and ease of setup without a technician. Here is a quick comparison between the two providers.

If speed is your only concern, then Clearwire is lagging the competition. I have the regular package with 768 Kbps, and I have not experienced any problems with speed at all. Some higher bandwidth sites can take a little bit longer to load, but it doesn’t really affect your internet experience. One reason one might want to switch to Comcast is if they do a lot of gaming. Comcast is the definite winner when it comes to internet for gaming. If you really desire the speed for gaming, then Comcast is the best deal, but if you are just browsing the net, then Clearwire is probably the best option.
