Having just written about 4G or faux G this week, it's interesting to see WiMAX work well here in the Orlando, FL area.
I ran a test at speedtest.net last night and got over 10 Mbps (I've even recorded over 13.5 Mbps). This is exceptionally good considering that I'm inside a motel room and the 3G connection is fluctuating between 3G and 1xRTT. 10 Mbps is also faster than I've seen from Verizon LTE, by about 4.8 Mbps. What Verizon has here, I really don't know. Sprint apparently doesn't have LTE here, as that would have connected. I may find it somewhere else in the metropolitan area. Hmm...Oviedo, FL certainly doesn't have access to WiMAX--it barely has 3G service in my friends' house.
It's great to see a download that would take hours, take just minutes instead.
I must say that it's great (sarcasm) to be home where the service barely works at all--and Sprint doesn't think there is a problem.
