Who said anything about LTE?
I did, thought I would toss that out since the only other U.S. 4G plans revolve around LTE.. Thought since he had such a grasp of WiMAX, he could shed some light on the not here yet for a long time LTE. Is that a problem? :o]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20664275 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:37:42 EDT Re: Will there be capage? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20663493 EPS : Who said anything about LTE?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20663493 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:48:06 EDT Re: Will there be capage? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662968 flyingjoey : So those caps only apply to "broadband" cards.

I just noticed that sprint has new plans (talk & data).

It appears like the new caps do not apply to customers who have Phones with high speed capability e.g. the mogul/touch etc.

I keep looking at my account and for my data usage it reads unlimited, then again I've only used 365mb this month so far.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662968 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:51:43 EDT Re: Will there be capage? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662577 a333 : Care to elaborate on that statement?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662577 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:28:46 EDT Re: Will there be capage? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662526 VansHSI : No, the wimax product is completely separate.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662526 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:19:35 EDT Re: Will there be capage? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662445 xenophon :

being in the business i can tell you that the WiMax isnt all they had hoped it would be. they can make all the claims and marketing hype they want,, but the results thus far are quite crappy, and i mean that,, very very disappointing.
Can you be more specific? Sounds like FUD from a Qualcomm employee. I've seen people posts speeds of 3-6Mbps with latency much better than EVDO. But I have heard there will be challenges indoors if not near a tower, unless doing fixed with an outdoor antenna. MIMO antennas should help down the road. And of course providing enough backhaul is a big challenge.

Also, Clearwire's pre-WiMAX is nothing like capabilities of 802.16e mobile WiMAX that Sprint is doing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662445 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:07:53 EDT Re: Will there be capage? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662297 tc1uscg :

Why have the extra bandwidth if you can't really use it? I mean a car that can go 200 mph, but with only 1/8 a gallon of gas.. Your not gonna go far with it.... Granted, I do understand some caps to restrain 733T dawg and friends from slaughtering the network with file sharing and such, but man.. Come on, legit video streaming and game patch downloads eats some bandwidth!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662159 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:14:55 EDT Will there be capage? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662093 ninjatutle : As with their Sprint Mobile Broadband service at 5GB?
