Ah! I've been trying to figure out (well, I haven't even put in the effort to google it, so maybe "wondering") how Clear suddenly sprang onto the scene with citywide 4G. That makes sense now. > I will say that (back when it was called XOhm) I talked to one of the guys > at the kiosk once, and when I asked about the latency he gave me a blank > stare.

I had exactly the same experience - I was talking to a Clear salesperson in another context, and when he mentioned his job I asked about latency. He said he'd get back to me, and asked how to spell latency.. and never got back to me. It's not an option for me at home because I need static IPs (I connect to my home systems when working across the city). I'm curious what kind of latency you saw?
