What Is "Clear" for Online Gaming? (VPN? ISP? Service?)

There is no major gaming service, VPN, ISP, or platform branded simply "Clear" as of 2024. You may be thinking of:

• Clearwire / Clear (ISP): Defunct WiMAX 4G provider (acquired by Sprint 2013, shut down 2015). High latency, data caps—poor for gaming.
• ClearVPN (MacPaw) — Consumer VPN, not gaming-optimized (no dedicated gaming servers, no WireGuard until recently).
• Clear (Linux distro / desktop env): Unrelated.
• Project xCloud / GeForce Now / Boosteroid: Cloud gaming—sometimes marketed as "clear" streaming.

What to Look For in a Gaming Connection

• Low Latency (< 50 ms): Fiber > Cable > 5G > DSL > Satellite > Old WiMAX.
• Stable Jitter (< 10 ms): Wired Ethernet essential.
• NAT Type Open: UPnP / Port forwarding on router.
• QoS / Gaming Mode: Router prioritization (Asus, Netgear, TP-Link gaming routers).

Clarify what you meant by "Clear" (ISP name, VPN, software, hardware?) and I'll give a precise answer.
