CLEAR Wimax Hardware Prices Change
Nothing ever stays the same in the tech world, especially pricing. But it was announced by CLEAR earlier this month that CLEAR customers wanting to buy their own equipment from CLEAR, rather than leasing it under a 2 year contract, can now expect to pay higher prices. CLEAR has reduced the subsidy amount they had been applying in the form of discounts at the time of purchase. Of course if you go on contract, the up front cost is much much less.
Home modems are now running $84.95, while USB modems (depending on model) are running $59.99 – $69.99 each. 4G Combo modems (i.e. 4G/3G USB modems) are running $224.99 (same price), but the new Mac compatible 4G+ modem is only $112.99 (available starting July 1st).
CLEAR slashed the price of their current CLEARSpot router (aka Cradlepoint’s PHS300 router) from $139.99 to only $49.99 (no lease or contract required), but you still need a CLEAR USB modem of some sort to make it work on the 4G or 3G network. We’ve used ours (paid a lot more for it) with both the 4G and 4G+ modem in the past few months.
CLEAR has announced some other changes also, so watch for more postings by us on this topic also.
