    Okay so I went ahead and signed up....

    So far it's seems okay. I'm willing to try it out. The only thing that annoys me is that with some websites Firefox browser keeps acting like it's working/loading the webpage even though most of it is up there to begin with.

    Other pages like Gmail, Google, Speedtest, etc seem to be load immediately and without hassle. As far as speeds go...down below. I don't know how to convert kbps to MBs or w/e. So if anyone can help me out with that I'd appreciate it...is it because both the Motorola WiMax modem and the Linksys router are acting as DHCPs and have NAT? Someone on another forum mentioned that as a possibility.

    How does that sound?

    And OH one very important QUESTION I have! We have 4 PHONES in the house. I hope and pray that hte Clear Voice will provide home phone service for ALL of them right? Is there anything special I need to do in order to get that working?

    Or is it once I plug in 1 phone that all will work? Assuming I port the number over?

    The representative said that if I plug 1 phone into it (I haven't ported my number yet...I want to try it out first for the 6 days and see if I like it).

    He said that the 3 phones would still get service from Time Warner Cable without issues and that the phone I plugged into Clear would receive calls so long as we called the # associated with it.

    However assuming I keep Clear 4G WiMax I expect that all phones will be able to get phone calls like normal right?
