Since day one I have had problems with Clearwire. However, what I have learnt will I hope, help other forum members.
(1) The ethernet cable provided with the wireless modem is not up to the job. Save yourself a lot of hassle and use the full thickness one as can be obtained in PC shops etc.You will probably get a far better signal by doing this one thing.
(2) VOIP- I had nothing but problems getting good VOIP. System seemed to go to pieces especially after 2300 and you'd end up reverting to the landline whether you liked it or not!! ( You'll need it to spend hours chasing their customer services if nothing else!!)
If you are planning to use VOIP, make the contract subject to getting A1 VOIP reception and keep a log of calls made to them so that you can pull the plug on the contract if you need to!! Also if using a Router, get the laterst firmware update for that so Clearwire can't go Blaming your Router as the cause of the problem!
Best solution after spending hours chasing customer services was for them to put me on a FIXED IP Address.
This greatly reduced the issue with fluctuating audio reception but I still have problems due to the affect of winds so even if Clearwire say that their system isn't affected by wind, believe you me it most certainly is!
Would I recommend Clearwire, NO! I thought IBB was bad at least their signal didn't fluctuate as badly for me and I didn't have to waste as much money and time using their technical expertise.
Clearwire sounded the Bees Knees initally but a reality check is that they simply don't live up to expectations............
Hope this is of help to other forum users. Cheers
