Clearwire Vs. Comcast High Speed Internet

Clear Internet service, powered by Clearwire, allows customers to access the Internet from their homes or on the go. Customers plug in the Clear device, and they are able to access the Internet from their location. Clear is available in many locations across the United States, but it is necessary to enter your ZIP code in to Clear's website in order to check availability and rates of service. Offerings from Clear include home Internet, mobile Internet and voice, and bundle packages are available, as well.

Comcast high-speed Internet service, called XFINITY, is available for customers through several service plans, including bundles with other Comcast services. Subscribers to Comcast Internet receive high-speed Internet access and several other features. One such feature is access to Constant Guard protection for customers' computers, which includes Norton Security Suite, secure backup and Identity Guard service. SmartZone Communications Center is also included, providing up to seven email accounts. Customers can also watch more than 3,500 live sports games through XFINITY's website.

Clear offers several Internet service plans that vary in price depending upon customers' ZIP codes. The least expensive plan is 4G Basic Home, which provides high-speed Internet to customers' home computers. The 4G Mobile plan allows customers to get high-speed Internet while on the go, experiencing capabilities such as downloading music, video chatting and surfing the net. Other plan options include 4G/3G Mobile, which allows customers a wider range of service coverage, 4G Home and Mobile and 4G Home, Mobile and Voice plans.

Comcast provides two Internet-only plans, as well as bundle plan options. The Performance plan offers Internet download speeds up to 1.5 Mbps, and it is the least expensive plan option. The Blast! plan provides speeds up to 20 Mbps, but is more expensive than the Performance plan. Comcast Triple Play plans offer Internet, television and home phone service all for one monthly fee, providing savings over ordering each service separately. The least expensive bundle plan provides Internet, more than 80 cable television channels and unlimited local and long distance home phone calling to the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada.
