The Internet service part has always worked fine (5 bars) with a speed of 12mb. But our Clear Voice service had a lot of calls breaking up, dropped calls, etc. It was almost unusable. Following your suggestion, I just hung a flat piece of aluminum foil about 16" wide, 12" tall on the wall about 4 inches behind the modem. Voila! No more dropped calls or call breakup. The phone is now completely usable! Thank you very much for this suggestion! We’ve had Clear for a couple of months. The Internet service part has always worked fine (5 bars) with a speed of 12mb.

Take a look at the picture in our first post (http://www.disciplesofbloggism.com/2010/02/a-better-internet-experience-thanks-to-tin-foil/). We used a bowl to create the dish shaped tin-foil, then put it on the opposite end from the lights on the modem. Hope it helps! ~Disciples Hello Brandon!

Hopefully Clear will get the act together and actually supply a service instead of just some lag... but the tinfoil fix does work! Try it! kinda like putting your wet electronics in rice.
