I'm using that same 4g network for my home internet (Clearwire) and get between 4-15k down and a consistent 1k (capped) up. No reason to think the EVO will be different.

Clearwire is not capped as far as download is concerned. Sprint on the other hand is capping it..I'm not sure if it is initially or etc but it is capped.

Also in New York I get 1mbps-2.4mbps when I got EVDO.

But I gave you the estimate based on the numbers here:

If I use the numbers I get, at home I get 2.4mbps so it wouldn't be fair..but on average ppl reported:

Sprint: 1361kbs

so multiply that by 3 and you get 4083 which is around 4mbps lol

Unless of course sprint changed their minds.


Edit:

Lets use the numbers sprint gave for comparison:

Sprint customers with the HTC EVO 4G can expect:

4G data speeds (WiMAX) – peak download speeds of more than 10 Mbps; peak upload speeds of 1 Mbps; average download speeds of 3-6 Mbps.
3G data speeds (EVDO Rev A.) – peak download speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps; peak upload speeds of 1.8 Mbps; average download speeds of 600 kbps-1.4 Mbps.

so peak for wimax is 10mbps and Rev A is 3.1mbps so pretty much around 3X
