Well, I got the Clear Hub Express as a replacement for the Clear Spot Voyager, and I'm quite happy. Very stable and strong 4G signal (5 bars), and I can leave it plugged in 24/7 without worry. Download in my house is just over 1 Mbps. You can tell I'm a novice, but I thought the stronger the signal the faster the speed without limit. It finally came through to me that my PLAN dictates the maximum speed. I'm not paying $10/month more for 2-4 Mbps unless my VoIP call quality gets bad.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm averaging 1.13Mbps download in my brick building with the Voyager, tops 1.26. Surely we can do better with 4g! You've inspired me to exchange for the Modem with Wi-Fi. Assuming I survive Hurricane Sandy, I'll report back...

Just bought the Clear Spot Voyager. Better signal strength than the latest Virgin Mobile and T-mobile portable devices I tested (and returned). Delightfully tiny device. But I can't find this info: 1) Can I leave this unit plugged in 24/7? Store rep advised against it but didn't really know. So far the surface hasn't become too warm. 2) Does the Clear Modem with Wi-Fi (same price, not portable) receive a stronger signal? Store rep says they're equal, but you'd think a bigger device would give me more bars.
