Well, consider that Clearwire *IS* WiMax and at present the coverage is spotty and the speeds suck when you don't have full strength... Sorry, the technology has growth needs still.
FWIW, yes Comcast is expensive but have you priced DSL without a home phone? If I were to switch to QWest's 5Mbps plan I would save $3 a month over cable!! Clearwire isn't any better. They want at least $40 a month plus taxes for their "faster" service. In order for FREE service to be of value to me on a regular basis I need at least a couple hundred "kb" download speeds. The only happy Clearwire customers I've seen are those that could actually get off dial-up. Any others that tried to swith from cable or DSL usually go back. Eh?
