[ale] atnex outage

[Richard Faulkner]

Clear rocks for customer service and tech support by my experience but
they have seriously over sold their towers.  I got capped right-off and
never got the bandwidth I paid for or was advertised.  Had to drop them
inside of a month!  Clear is great if you have a laptop or something but
not for heavy use by my experience.  Clear also has a limited service
area and is centered around a few metro areas so far.  I'd think of
going toward Sprint or another carrier for service for 4G if you were
further out.  Have to do your shopping on that one.....

Too bad you can't get cable.  If you were to ever get access, you can get 
Comcast residential service 16-20 Mbps down / 2-3 Mbps up for about $70 / 
Mo.  However, they get all bent out of shape if you use it for 
"business".  I think response to trouble calls is slower that way too.

What about something like the CLEAR wireless network or one of the cellular 
company's 4G wireless some of them have been raving about?

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to 
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy 
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
