Clearwire WiMax hits Atlanta market

[adric]

I really can't say anything more than this fellow, who has a nice writeup and seems to have ordered most of the same stuff as I did: http://broo2.blogspot.com/2009/06/clear-wimax-in-atlanta-ga.html (I didn't buy the portable hotspot, yet )

Here's some measurements from home just now, with five green lights on the modem:





That's some pretty zippy aether. Do let me know if you are going to give it a try, and I'll answer any questions and give you my referral code :D

I hear Clear does not do well with hulu/netflix type streaming. Their have been several threads in the Atlanta group. Also it is definitely not for those who want low latency.

However for the average user. Only browsing the web checking email. It does very nicely. Granted you want to try out the reception in your areas with the trial period. As wimax does have wholes in its coverage.
