I've been using Clear at home (clear.com) and I've been relatively happy so far. With my plan I get a 4g receiver/wifi hub that can connect up to 5 devices. It runs on batteries so you can take it roaming but doesn't last longer than a couple hours without being plugged in. Wifi setup is very easy and I hooked the USB connector up to my Ubuntu box and it immediately recognized it and gave me a connection. -Brady On Oct 24, 2011, at 9:46 AM, "Andrew S.
