Clear Spot Voyager user reviews

Pros Cheap Unlimited Rate Plans
Inexpensive Hardware Considering there are No Service Contracts
Portable
$35/mo Service is Faster, Cheaper, and More Reliable than my slow tier DSL from Centurylink
OMG it Works for Xbox Live!

Cons Wifi on the device is kind of weak...but for a 3" square portable device I can't complain too much. If you want it to cover a decent sized house with a good signal you will probably want a repeater of some sort.

Summary I live alone and the basic $35/mo plan is all the internet I need. I get a consistant 2 Mbps downstream and about .3 up. If you are into downloading tons of HD shows or multi gigabyte games to your PC or game console on a regular basis then this probably won't cut it. However, if you are in an area with a great signal and have the $50/mo plan it might...

I've been trying to cut the cord on my wired internet for some time now, but it was either too expensive or the connection too unstable to work for Xbox Live.

I have seen the comments on how hard it is to return the devices to Clear and get a refund if you are unhappy with the service. I have to admit I was hesitant to try Clearwire myself because of the complaints so I picked up the hardware from Best Buy in case I wanted to return it without a hassle.

In areas with a good signal the Voyager and Clear service can easily compete with basic to mid teir DSL/Cable internet.

Pros Size and functionality

Cons CLEAR's Network

Summary Works just fine for me. Service has been acceptable. Range is OK. Fits comfortably in a shirt pocket. Amazingly small and functional. Having said that, CLEAR has to improve its network. Coverage is spotty and not very good inside buildings. Not a negative of this device but a comment on the quality of the CLEAR network.

Pros battery life, light weight, light indicators, fast speeds, easy setup, connect up to 8 wifi devices (up to 9 while usb is connected to pc)

Cons wifi range, doesn't have sleep mode, no sound alerts like the apollo,

Summary The battery life on the voyager is great! Lasts longer than described by clear! I can tell you it the device does not reach 100 feet as described by clear specifications or if it does, it must be for a direct shot from and to the device. I have only been able to achieve 20 ft for full signal! 50 ft is 2-3 out of 5 bars on my laptop and 100 ft hardly gets the wifi range! I also don't like that the voyager doesn't have a sleep mode so you have to turn it off if you don't it to consume all battery or keep it charged. I been getting download speeds up to 5MBps. sometimes when downloading, streaming movies, and trying to surf at the same time, i get 1-2 mbps. The speeds are like cable speeds, but not as fast as fios. Yes, it is faster than 3G speeds! While there are some drawbacks to the voyager, i am very pleased with the device and Clear's services!

Pros Clear does manage to spell its own name.

Cons Clear stole four hundred dollars of our money. We never got to use its "service" at all. Clear will make you jump through hoops for an hour in its gatekeeper voicemail, then fail to help with unintelligible foreign slaves. NEVER patronize Clear!!!!!

Summary STAY AWAY FROM CLEAR WIRELESS. Clear stole four hundred dollars of our money. We never got to use its "service" at all. Clear will make you jump through hoops for an hour in its gatekeeper voicemail, then fail to help with unintelligible foreign slaves. NEVER patronize Clear!!!!!
