Guy came to my house to try to sell me this chit.

Opened up his laptop and showed me: "Look at the signal... I am getting close to 6-7 mbps on speedtest. "


"Oh yea?" I said. Opened up MY laptop, showed him my speed via my wifi modem: 17.49 Mbps

"And that is wifi. Not direct connected" I told him. "My PS3 sometimes gives me 18-20 mbps".


Then he was like "ok well. how about mobility? Can you get that signal down the street?"

I was like "why the F would I want to go sit by the stop sign at the end of the street if I can sit comfortably in my home and surf?"

Told him "Look dude... I think it is a great thing if I was living downtown in a loft or something. I could take my laptop to starbucks and enjoy internet... go down to any restaurant and cafe and surf and stuff. But you can do that as well on any internet enabled cell phone from AT&T. Who goes out eating with a laptop under their arms?"

"Plus I am more comfortable having the access point somewhere in my house, where it only has to go through one or two walls, than relying on a system that has to go through two ceilings, plus the distance to the tower."

"Plus, gaming is much better on a direct connected cable line".

So, no... Clear is not for me.
