Re: [PLUG] Clearwire WiMAX service started in Philadelphia two weeks ago
|
I was just quoted these prices:
Clear.com 1.888.888.3114
Pick (2) Option Home + Mobile ( but does NOT include roaming to 3G )
the roaming option
must be bought on a seperate plan for $70/mo for just mobile.
$55/mo - Home+Mobile, 3-6Gb/s down, 1Gb/s up,
$10/mo - each static IP
$69.99 - Home modem purchase
$59.99 - USB 4g only modem purchase
For Home + 3G/4G mobile ( I believe with the 5GB/mo cap on mobile )
$50/mo + $70/mo service
$10/mo - each static ip home
$69.99 - home modem
$225 - 3g/4g USB modem
The service to Collegeville just went live in the last few days. West
Chester is still not covered.
