If you are only looking to browse the internet or do email then clearwire is fine for you. If you plan on doing any video streaming, online gaming, or moderate to heavy downloading then do not waste your time, do not waste their time, their service cannot get you want you want. The problem is that they have a 450ms to 600ms service latency that ruins most heavy internet use. and that latency is one way ... so for all you internet gamers ... that is 1- 1.5 seconds delay for whatever you do. For heavy internet users ... stick to cable or dsl and do not even consider this as an option.

I signed up with Sprint, and I can truly go anywhere and have access to the internet. I wouldn't change my home service with Clearwire, but I wouldn't recommend the PC card until they get their act straight This is a waste of money.
