WiMax latency is going to be around 100ms; it will never be as fast as a hard-wired connection (i.e. Cable/DSL/FIOS) as it is a wireless technology.
I have had Clear WiMax in Atlanta, GA for about 5 months now; average is around 100ms (vs. 10ms on BellSouth DSL).
Another thing to note is that Clear WiMax is very prone to slow-downs during peak hours (I believe they oversold it in the Atlanta area) and they are now cap bandwidth if you saturate your connection for more than 10 mins. I am seeing a drop to 1Mbps after I use my connection for about 10 mins... |
