Well wimax can do 1gbps with new specs but the towers sprint put in place are 70mbps...the reason why you might see less with sprint is sprint is purposely capping the speeds. They are trying to deploy more locations and have it stable. Once that is done they will improve on the speed for the individual user

but as I said before 3-6mbps average with lower latency is better then 6mbps at higher latency...wimax already has quite a few users with data cards and overdrives as t-mobile does not, once the HSPA+ network gets crowded speeds will drop.
