Not even close, besides the spotty coverage your going to have much higher latency being a wireless product.

Also, there "super fast" plan is 6mbps, brighthouses standard is 10. So you have spotty coverage, will be paying the MORE for UP TO 6mbps and having much higher latency generally.
With brighthouse you have atleast 10 mbps, probably pay less than 50 a month and have lower latency

What you said is correct, but it is nice to mention the disclosure since other providers have as good as or even better than Brighthouse.

Disclosure: I myself have Brighthouse corporate account internet at home.

I was just answering the question to his comparison. I didn't say anything about the 1 other provider who would be a competitor (if your in one of there areas). You are correct though, I do work for them

What I said is accurate though and not biased to the company I work for, clear is just a cellular 4g service designed for home use. Its the sprint network at that (which isnt TRULY 4g either, its wimax). Cellular broadband is more prone to peak usage slow downs, reception and higher latency due to its wireless nature.

I have had both Verizon and Brighthouse. I prefer Brighthouse, because it works fine, and their customer service is outstanding.
In order for me to get something fixed with Verizon I had to be on the phone for a long time, going from one person to another. I had the Fios.
Now I'm happy with Brighthouse.

Be careful becasue they dont have great reviews from customers, but they do have an expensive contract.
