EVDO pings hang around 120-160ms and when rev A is rolled out next month it will be in 50ms range.

I have EVDO now.

I don't know how this network will work, but it has been my experience that wireless networks have horrible ping time.

I would much rather have 1.5mbps @ 25-150ms ping than a wireless 100mbps network @ 400ms ping.
I think you are confusing wireless with satellite. Although satellite is a form of wireless I guess..

I've never seen a ping that high unless there was heavy network traffic.

I'm on a WISP and get 45 ms pings to DSLR all day long. Play games on-line all the time and use Vonage with no problems. It appears you don't quite know what you say.

I'm looking at my running copy of PingPlotter right now which shows me an average of approximately (I'm eyeballing this) 25ms across my WISP's network to the edge router at Equinix.

If you're seeing 400MS then your WISP has you far down the POLLING queue in his access point. Or something similar, but that's too high a number.

Shoutout: Good article, Alex. Unfortunately I think you're spot-on.

Where do you get that a wireless connection has 400ms pings. The only wireless connection that has pings that high is Cell based internet such as EVDO or 1x cell internet.

Regular wireless internet that uses that 802.11x protocol almost always has ping times from hop to hop of less than 5ms.
