I placed my order on Friday, June 18, received the CLEAR modem on Monday, and connected to the Internet in minutes.
With Verizon I was getting 1500 kbps downloads, and 375 kbps uploads. Here's what I'm getting on CLEAR.
BEST so far: Download Speed: 5528 kbps (691 KB/sec transfer rate); Upload Speed: 823 kbps (102.9 KB/sec transfer rate).
WORST so far: Download Speed: 2925 kbps (365.6 KB/sec transfer rate); Upload Speed: 154 kbps (19.3 KB/sec transfer rate).
The best I could get from Verizon DSL: Download Speed: 1529 kbps (191.1 KB/sec transfer rate); Upload Speed: 380 kbps (47.5 KB/sec transfer rate).
WiMAX competitor LTE (Long Term Evolution) is expected to be deployed next year, and appears to be the 4G favorite.
If you're looking for unlimited broadband at a reasonable price, check out CLEAR. It's now available in our area — see coverage map. Email Alan Hewitt at alan.hewitt@clearwire.com and tell him that Enver Masud referred you to him.
PS Here are test results from SpeedTest.net:

After using CLEAR WiMAX, I made the following suggestion to a company executive:
You guys are hiding your best plan, and causing unnecessary confusion for clients that have WiFi ready computers and phones.
For example, you could add to your website — http://www.clear.com/shop/services?intcmp=index_d_rbdy_sp — a plan called "Wifi Everywhere".
This plan would have two options: unlimited 4G coverage in your city, and 4G coverage in your city, plus Nationwide 3G coverage.
