I have been a Clear customer for 3 years. 2 Years ago I was ready to leave Clear for their service constantly was having issue. When i talked to customer service, they did everything they could to get me to stay and offered me service for $25.00 a month if I stayed. I decided to give them another chance and really have not had any issues. I learned this month that my service was jumping to $45.00 a month. I was told that I would stay at $25.00 a month as long as I stayed, but now told I have to change. I contact customer service and was told it was a promo that ended. I disagreed. I was basically told that I was a liar, nothing was ever promised, and that I was basically screwed. Maybe that is the reason they are going out of business. Here is my chat with customer support calling me a liar, and admitting that they did not intend to lie to me: Hello Rob. Please wait while we find a CLEAR specialist to help you. Your question is: This month I learned that my monthly bill was going from $25.00 to $45.00 a month. Which is almost double. I have been a loyal customer to Clear now for 3 years, and I have tried to walk away in the past, but when offered internet for $25.00, I decided to stay. I contacted customer service to find out why my bill almost doubled, and I was treated in a very rude manner, and also not made to feel like a valued customer as I was told that I was. It was told repeatedly that the promotion ended, but I was told that if I chose to stay with Clear, my bill would be $25.00 a month and would never increased. I was also told that they sent out a email containing this information, but I have talked with 2 other customers of Clear and none of us received anything about the price increase. I understand that Sprint purchased Clear and I have now learned that the Clear service will terminate in November of this Year. My question is why was I flat out lied to about my rate never increasing? You have been connected to Ruxton L. Ruxton L: Thank you for contacting Clear Chat Support, my name is Ruxton. Ruxton L: Before we continue, can I have your last name please? Rob: Good Morning Rob: Oliphant Ruxton L: Thank you. Ruxton L: Good morning to you too! Ruxton L: Thank you. Is the phone number 913-602-**** also your good callback number? Rob: Thank you Rob: YEs Ruxton L: Okay. Ruxton L: I understand that you have billing concerns pertaining to your Clear account. Ruxton L: I am sorry to hear this from you, and don't you worry, I will help you out the best I can. Rob: More of a complaint than an issue Ruxton L: Let me check further on the account for you. Ruxton L: There is a security question on the account: What was the name of your first pet please? Rob: I know that you are going to say that my rate was a promo that has now ended. I was never told when I chose to stay with Clear that my rate was a promo and would change. Rob: King Ruxton L: Thank you. What about the email address on the account? Rob: excelr870@***.com Ruxton L: Thank you for that information and allowing me to verify the account. Rob: Your welcomed Ruxton L: Just a reminder, the correct format of the answer to your Security Question is 'king'. Please note that the answer to the Security Question is case sensitive. Rob: k Ruxton L: Based from the information that you have given me, I was able to check on the account and indeed it is on the $45 monthly plan. Rob: Now it is Ruxton L: Yes. Ruxton L: There could be some confusion with regard to the monthly plan that was given to you before. Ruxton L: And again, I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Rob: Can you clarify what you mean there may have been some confusion Ruxton L: Just to be honest with you, we don't really intend to confuse or lie to you about your monthly plan. Ruxton L: I meant to tell you about how the previous representative may have explained it. Rob: Ok so where did they go wrong. Ruxton L: It may have been explained to you in a way that it will never change. Ruxton L: However, the other representative really meant to tell you that the account is under a promotion. Rob: It was made very clear to me that it would never change and has not changed in over a year. I think if you checked your records you will see that I remained at that rate for some period of time. Now I am not the smartest person in the world, but being in business myself, I know there are limitations to promotions, and they typically do not go for a year. Ruxton L: And to give you a brief background on what we do. Usually if the account is in promotion, it will just take like 6 months. It is a good thing that you got the promotion for a year. Rob: You say that like you did me a favor. Ruxton L: Not really, Rob. I'm just trying to explain this further for you. Sorry. Rob: I am really not trying to be rude or unreasonable. I just know what I was told. And you openly admitted that there was a error on your part, and even stated that you did not intend to lie or deceive me. Ruxton L: I understand. Ruxton L: Don't you worry, we will also take a review on your account and if there is anything that the other representative has mentioned to you which is not really true, we will take necessary action to that representative as well. Ruxton L: Again, I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Rob: So I will remain at the 45.00 a month plan as long as I chose to stay with Clear. Correct? Ruxton L: Rest assured, we will do everything for us to address the action/s that the previous representative has promised you. Ruxton L: I cannnot really tell as of this moment that you will have Clear for life with the $45 monthly plan. Ruxton L: If there will be some change/s on the account, we will let you know. Rob: When can I expect a decision? Ruxton L: Sorry, but I'm not in the position to answer that. Rob: See here is another thing I find funny. The reps that I have talked to all have told me that they was nothing that could be done. I was even told that a supervisor was to busy to talk with me. Now you are telling me that the matter will be looked into and my rate my change? Can you see where this cause conflict in trust? Ruxton L: Just to be honest with you, we also have limitations on your access to your Clear account. We are only able to relay current information on the account. Ruxton L: Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. Rob: So Ruxton L. Is that all we have to discuss? Ruxton L: What I am referring to is the promise that may have been given (if there is any) by the previous representative. Ruxton L: Yes. In as much as I would like to do anything on the account. We cannot really do anything now. Again, sorry for that. Rob: Have a good day Ruxton L: You too! Ruxton L: It's been a pleasure assisting you! And I hope I was able to address all your concerns. Is there anything else that I can assist you with? Ruxton L: Thank you for your input as well.
I feel your pain!!!!!! Also a Clear member.
Try netzero
Try to go for Xfinity/Comcast. They cap at 300 gb per month.
Hope this helps.
I am switching to Xfinity Nov. 5th 2015....in a few days.....bitter sweet...Goodbye...Clear...-sniffles sadly-
There is no replacement that comes close, everything wireless will be metered with caps unless you can find a Wireless ISP in your area.
Time Warner must have quoted you for some LTE device. They do not have 30GB caps on their cable modem wired service (though they will contact you if you're being 'abusive' to their network, which they never tell you what they mean by that).
