That's it ?!WoW that really blows in terms of speed.
Bell and Tellus's HSPA+ network currently does sustained 10Mbps down and 2.5Mbps up and Verizon with LTE only manages that ?!

Of course, no one in canada uses broadband. |

Should be no surprise. Current gen WiMAX also gets that range as they are essentially the same technology. » /archi ··· -wmx.netThe challenge for all 4G carriers will be providing enough backhaul to sustain 5Mbps+ with many users sharing. |

TMO and ATT are pushing similar out with HSPA+. TMO after all has the fastest 3G in the USA regardless of what the ATT ads say. |

The difference, of course, is that VZW got that speed on a network with likely no other users on it while some Clear users are getting those speeds and more on a commercially deployed network. |

True, when Sprint first demo'd WiMAX in Chicago, they showed up to 11Mbps.
BTW, many of the current WiMAX devices are capable of over 25Mbps but you need the backhaul and MIMO antennas to achieve it outside of a lab. Nextgen WiMAX also claims much much higher performance but it will mean nothing w/out massive backhaul and MIMO. At least Clear has the spectrum, 4X more than ATT/Verizon. |

Impressive if they can sustain that with many users sharing. In the end though, 3.5G and current rev of 4G would probably be about the same if you supply the same backhaul and have same number of users sharing. |

In the end though, 3.5G and current rev of 4G would probably be about the same if you supply the same backhaul and have same number of users sharing. I agree. TMO is doing a very smart move: maxing out HSPA+ gives them option to go over 20Mb/s if they want, something LTE won't match for a long time. |

Yeah, while LTE/WiMAX are 4G technologies they are not fully implemented as 4G yet. IMO, it will take MIMO antennas to fully execute 4G. 3.5G has some life in it until 4G is fully implemented. |

WiMAX devices are already equiped with MIMO... |

said by w0g:WiMAX devices are already equiped with MIMO... At the site, user device or both? I don't think any commercial user devices have MIMO yet, even fixed home base stations. I could be wrong. Edit: Not to put you on the spot but I just searched around and didn't find any consumer devices that have MIMO antennas. Which ones have it? |
