From my experience increasing wetness increases penetration.

I have seen WiMAX at 75 mph. Does that count?   AJ

Well, then, he must be wearing Superman tights because supposedly WiMAX 2600 cannot penetrate even a wet paper bag.   AJ

When I still had the original EVO 4G.

Wow. I've never exceeded 16Mbps on WiMax. That is admirable.

Just pulled a nice 13.50 down and 3.76 up a Clear Voyager. Believe it or not, better then the 9.34 down and 1.47 up on my current Sprint LTE connection. Not bad. Ping is a bit high though- 80ms compared to 42 on LTE.

Wow...never could pull that with my Voyager when I had it, even though I had perfect signal with low load. Maybe Clear has throttled such devices in the past and is now removing those caps? I had no problem getting 12-plus Mbps with the Clear Hub in the same location.

It was plugged in via USB.

37/17 on 10mhz channels iirc. Problem is Clearwire never had the requisite backhaul for those kind of speeds and we've only been getting faster speeds because CW is prepping sites for TDD-LTE alongside decreases in wimax users.

I have plugged in the Voyager via USB and didn't get any higher speeds than on WiFi. Then again, maybe the Mac drivers are poorer than the Windows one?

So relatively close to the same as LTE? 10mhz is the same as 5x5?

I was actually using a Samsung Ultrabook. It wasn't mine, but the hotspot was.

20mhz TDD has the same total bandwidth as 10x10 FDD however that 20mhz can be divided up asymetrically with varying downlink and uplink bandwidths like 15 x 5 mhz (adds up to 20).

Not exactly. TDD stands for Time Division Duplex. The division between uplink and downlink is in time, not frequency. The entire carrier bandwidth is devoted to uplink, then downlink on an alternating basis.

I assume there is some limit on how much time can be allocated to a single pathway? As in only 90% of the time can ever be diverted to downlink to keep checking if traffic has become available for uplink? Am I way off on that one?

Yeah, the TDD allocation can be changed, though that is a configuration at the network level, as all TDD devices need to maintain a fairly precise synchronization to avoid transmitting while other TDD devices are receiving (and vice versa). If I recall correctly, the default TDD allocation that I have seen for WiMAX is roughly 40/60, uplink/downlink, not taking into the account the guard periods that must be inserted at each link transition.

Otherwise 21-22 x1.5 mbps every day.. Those where the days...

 

Is this even possible? I read earlier that the max down speed for wimax is under 40.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
