Same for me, looked for that feature as well and now had to re-create my account..

Great to hear from an official rep! I hope this issue gets resolved soon. However, if there's an issue with streaming video, Clearwire needs to be more upfront with this in their marketing. Video is one of the major reasons users would want fast internet in the first place.

We would like to help you. Streaming video is very touchy on our service, however, due to the method we use to send packets, but I would like to try and help improve your service if I can. Could you leave me a contact email address so I can get ahold of you? – Jennifer, on September 04, 2008 05:10

Me too. Is it too much to ask to stream a video once in a while? That's pretty much the point of the internet these days. I paid extra for the "faster" option, 2M, but often my speeds are more like 200k. And all five of my lights are on, an "excellent" signal! Do NOT use clearwire.

I agree with the other comments, I have had Clearwire (in the downtown Seattle area) for over a year and can not get out of my contract without a very hefty fee. Although the wireless modem shows 2-4 lights (out of five lights; this, via Clearwire, this means I have a usable signal) I have extremely scattered service, and very seldom am able to actually use their signal (I constantly need to reboot, unplug their wireless modem, reconnect my wireless router, etc). Clearwire customer service keeps giving me the runaround and refuses to acknowledge any problems with their hardware/signal.

My only Internet access since I started using Clearwire has been to go to the local coffee shop and use their free service (sad, right?). I know a couple other people with Clearwire, and they have been actually receive and use the signal, but have been very disappointed with the speed (or lack thereof).

I have a 2 year contract with Clearwire, and should have canceled within the first few months. Unfortunately I didn't (for no good reason other than figuring they would get it to work eventually), and now am just waiting for my contract to end.

Hi, and thanks for the comment!

What's happening is that the music player has cached a few songs before you hit 'pause', so when you come back, those songs get played. But the "inactive time out" has already occurred, so you get the message after those songs play.

We might address this in the future... thanks for your feedback!

Clearwire is awful. Just total crap. plus, they ding you with hundreds of dollars of early termination fees and don't stop billing you after that. Stay far, far away from Clearwire.

I hope you haven't switched yet! We live in downtown Seattle, and Clearwire is
horrible here. The plan we're on promising up to 2.0 Mb download/256k upload speeds, but we rarely get anywhere close to that. A lot of times, we can't even get basic web pages to load. Forget about streaming. It's like being back in the early days of the internet, watching web pages load one pixel at a time. Customer support hasn't exactly been helpful either.

Hey, just so the RescueTime team knows, I was looking for this feature too. You never know when you'd like to declare productivity bankruptcy and start over. . .

The account deletion trick work fine though. I'm glad I was able to find this so easily!
