So I do hope $print makes the wise decision of switching from Wimax to LTE. Only thing that sucks for me is obviously I'll have to pay for the upgrade but lord have mercy will it be worth it.

To clarify..that is not an indication of speed of LTE vs wimax...wimax is capable of faster speed..it more has to do with how sprint implements wimax, how much spectrum sprint uses, that sprint deploy in 2.5ghz band and verizon in 700mhz, how congested the networks 4g is...and the fact that sprint caps you at 10mbps download.
Also things can have effect depending on the bandwidth provider for the tower and the test server.
For one I would like sprint to at least implement the 40% version of wimax-enchanced :/
