If you’re a -heavy- media user, I’d stay with Comcast. Cable is the fastest and (usually) most reliable broadband solutions available to consumers.

If you’re just browsing, emailing, chatting, Clearwire will suit you fine. But ATT has DSL Lite, which is cheaper than Clearwire, and offers a similar speed, and (usually) more reliability. I don’t believe you’ll be locked in a contract, either.

Personally, I’ve only had it slow on me a few times; and never had it drop out. But I’m in a dead center -perfect- spot for the service; my ‘office’ looks out over a fairly bare southern clearing, and I’m in the middle of a ‘big’ city. I’ve read accounts of others having terrible reliability issues.

A problem I did experience was setting up a wireless network. The service isn’t on the radar of most companies that produce wireless equipment, so it took a great deal of work to get it up and going. I would’ve been unable to do it by myself, and I’m fairly experienced.

My future plans are to switch back to Comcast; either when my 2 year contract runs out, or I come up with enough disposable income to buy it out. I miss the speed more than I thought I would, and after my promotional deal is up, the price difference wouldn’t be that great.

Probably provided you with more questions than answers, but feel free to come back at me. My email address is in the ‘About/Contact’ section if you’d like to talk privately.
