Told you. WiMax is a dead protocol walking.

Once again, I called this eons ago- WiMax's shaky start back in the later half of the previous decade was going to handicap its adoption, and Sprint's unbelievably slow and mismanaged rollout (Wasn't XoHM announced in what... 2007?) kicked the crutches right from it.

WiMax's poor real-world performance compared to HSDPA+ and even HSDPA with HSUPA (both of which are consistently faster... this is why an iPhone 4 outperforms an HTC Evo while STILL getting better battery life) put it in the hospital. Comcast/Sprint denying funding pulled the feeding tube, and T-mobile's statement today is the funeral arrangements.

The writing's been on the wall for a very long time. Once again, you're welcome.

It would seem you would have to explain that it is dead to quite a few people world wide. It would appear that it is used in quite a few places. Take a peek for yourself

Looks like it will be walking for a bit longer

Is it me or had AT&T come out with WiMax first along with an iPhone to go with it, this clown would be singing a different tune. I mean think about it.

No, it's not just you. The sheer ego of people who make statements such as "I told all of you this would happen" is simply amazing. As if we are to believe we're witnessing the Word of God.

If I'm saying something that isn't true, do something about it. But I am, so deal with it. 🤣

Besides, looking at my posts historically would prove your logic wrong. Then again, if you actually read what I write and kept informed, it'd make your life that much easier.

You are an idiot but Wimax has more support right now they LTE and way more networks up and running around the world then lte. In what way does the iphone 4 outperform the Evo? Evo went head to head with the iphone 4 on cnet and lost! Tmobile and att data networks are inferior to Sprints and the fact that neither have front facing camera phones working on 3g and the cost of those increase data speed bring about tiered data makes me wonder why people still pay more for less

You're trolling so unbelievable hard right now that I really don't think you're aware of what you just said!!!

Kind of ironic you started your paragraph off by calling someone else an idiot... ROFL!!!! 😛

I hate to admit it, I really do. I never thought I'd see the day where I sided with Blue on an issue. He may be a troll, Apple fanboy, etc. but he's right on this. I was very vocal about myself and I also thought Sprint was making a mistake from the very beginning. WiMAX was just the wrong way to go. Clear is in trouble with finances. Luckily though, I hear it's easy for them to convert to LTE.

We should all ask you the same thing Diamond. just because you say something doesn't mean it's the truth and quoting lines from movies isn't helping your case much 😳
