    I just ran into a sales guy for CLEAR and he was making a whole lot of sense with this whole internet thing. Apparently for $55 a month you get a wireless network at home and a USB travel card that works throughout the country, and on my MAC. Has anyone used this service? Does the net ever cut out (obv the worst for a poka player) ? Is it really faster than my Comcast cable internet that i have now? (as claimed) Any help would be greatly appreciated. TY

    Not sure about their service but I just went to their website and checked the coverage area to see if I was in it... Fucking website doesnt recognize my zip code (I live in the middle of fucking Chicago).

    So in conclusion, fuck clear and their broke ass website and outdated database.

    haha, I appreciate the research. They said i would be strait anywhere in the Atlanta area, but i was really looking to use it while i travel. Anyone use it for this reason? I need something that goes state to state for my MAC. Anyone else offer something similar for around this price. Comcast is raping me, and i would like to stop the bleeding....

    I have not looked into these guys but most likley they are offering DSL (much slower than cable) and their nationwide WiFi is just like what you would get at any hot spot.

    and $55/month is not a deal I get 12mbs down and 1.5mbs up for that.
