I replaced a 3mbps/768kbps ADSL provisioned through Qwest with Clearwire's home offering. I've been mostly satisfied from a cost/performance standpoint - for $55/mo I get a mostly equal replacement for the DSL as well as service for a second usb dongle for my laptop. I've had to go through an uncomfortable process with their support people on two occasions when their service was booting me off every 3-10 mins. Turns out somehow my home address changed in their system and they decided to treat my home modem as a traveling modem. As others have stated they seemed aloof and lacked access to more than a script and basic tools for troubleshooting. Service has been mostly reliable for me in the Seattle area. Transfer rates are sufficient. -m
