i bought clear about 1.5 years ago. $30 per month. i had to buy the clear modem. clear and clear-wire are not the same.
clear worked most of the time in the 'couv in our moho and in hawaii. when it had problems, mostly at night, customer service (disservice) was closed.
on our trip south last year the only place clear worked was in los banos, ca. nothing in oregon, nevada, cal bay area, or arizona. in many of these places, such as reno, there was a clear office which i visited.
their answer was to try to sell me a more expensive service.
last month i had had enough and cancelled clear. what a pita. you cannot cancel service on the internet or at an office. their cs doesn't answer in a timely fashion and then put me on hold to transfer me to ''accounting'' who do not answer right away and hung up me before i got my business done. 4 times.
it took me over an hour of cell time and a visit to the vanc. office to cancel clear. i used the offices land line to finally get the job done. the office had a different phone number from cs to get to ''accounting''. 888.888.3113.
my advise is to stay away from those folks.
i now have t-mo cell phone service that i use for tethering my computer.
