Anyone else have experience with Clearwire? I like the idea of not having tohave an installation with people drilling holes in my house, plus there are a lot of trees in my neighborhood and they fall down in storms, disrupting service.

@nkhoi..... Those speeds are incredible

It is a good information about speed test,
In this way i test my internet everyday , because it is useful to know about the uploading and downloading speed, so i check my speed, through this site http://www.ip-details.com/internet-speed-test/
My speed test results are,
upload speed:0.52 kbps
download speed:1.96 kbps
It has the best & accurate results for my internet speed test , internet service provider,location, country and and also provides the IP details .................

Clear is sending me some demo devices to play around with. I currently have Verizon's 4G/LTE hotspot device and its garbage.
I'll post back when I get the Clear devices as to configurability, reliability, security, etc. They are sending me two USB laptop devices and two 8-person wifi hotspot devices. I'm going to be testing device to device handoff, range, security, configurations, burst and average bandwidth capacity, etc.

I think there is a problem with their site. When I test from a 100/100 circuit I don't get 100/100 however I can go out to other sites and both see 100/100 and I can also download and upload at 100/100 speeds.

Was there a typo here?
What can you trade with a download speed of 1.96 kbps? This means roughly (1.96 * 1000 / 8) = 245 bytes per second.
This ET reply post contains more than 245 bytes.
1.96 kbps, below 2400 baud modem, a technology of 30+ years ago.

I think I've asked before, but I still don't understand what benefit really fast internet speed has for typical daytrading.
Mine is 1.45 Mbps download, 0.48 Mbps Upload, 51 ms Ping.
I daytrade about 20 trades per day holding for minutes at a time usually (sometimes seconds), and I've never noticed anything negative at all with the speed I have (which appears to be pretty slow compared to others).
Does the really fast speed only come into play when scalping?
What would be the difference if 2 systems took the exact same trades all day & one had 100 Mbps download & the other had 1.5 Mbps download?

It is not a measure of how many trades you place in a day.
What matter is whether the network speed is adequate for your trading application. I would imagine that it would involve getting price data streamed down to your desktop/laptop to display some kind of price charts for you to trade. But how many charts you look at, what kind of periodicity (e.g. daily chart versus 10-tick chart), and how many computers may be sharing the same network bandwidth at your home/office? This varies a lot from trader to trader. There is nothing "typical" about it.
You just need to make sure that the network bandwidth you have paid for addresses what you need. And some of us have planned for sudden surge in network traffic because of chaotic market conditions and have built-in some buffer. Like why did they construct such a big open water channel in Los Angeles? That place seemed never rain. But when it does rain, you can appreciate the thoughts of the engineers.
