NS4G WiMax speeds - Nexus S General

I just found a spot near my local Publix where I was getting 3 and 4 bars of signal with WiMax, which I rarely ever see in my city.
I speed tested and was consistently getting 16-18mbps down and around 3mbps up.
I'm curious to see how that compares with what everyone else is getting on Sprint's 4g network.

Sprint's 4g is pretty good here in Cincinnati. I get about 6-7mbs down and 1 up at my apartment with one bar, but when I go outside I get about 10-12mbs down and 2 up with 3-4 bars.

Here is a screenshot. I wasn't on wifi, I was in the middle of a parking lot.
I wasn't getting 3mbps up here, but I have before.

mine has definitely improved within about the last two weeks, as well! I'm getting about 15-20% stronger signal and speed

Not only that, even 3G improved in my area.

This is good to hear. Hopefully Sprint is staying good on their word and largely improving their 3G this year.
Especially looking forward to the Galaxy Nexus and LTE, even though I'm not in one of the cities getting it first.

No you haven't. Wimax used to be capped at 1mb now it is capped at 1.5mbps. Clearly your screen shot would have shown the 3mbps upload had it really occurred.

Not necessarily, wimax upload speeds were capped. No official word that it's been removed though or made higher above 1.5. Any of you claiming higher have a screenshot?

+10. Why would you say unlimited 4g? Then it turns into hspa+ then 2gb of "unlimited data" then slow me down to 1G.? Wtf? I went to simple mobile after that.....then I went to sprint - where customer service is a plus. If your phone gets messed up you can go to a repair center to get it fixed n replaced. AND YOU GET REAL UNLIMITED 4G........DATA THROTTLE DOESNT EXIST IN SPRINT......#IMJustSaying

1/4 of your normal speed? your normal speed must be very sloooow.. when i get throttled, my speed gets reduced to 56kbps. my unthrottled speed averages from 5-7mbps. i solved getting throttled by changing my plan to 10gb data before being throttled. whats your data plan? maybe you need to raise it. btw, im with tmobile.
I went thru the same thing as a Sprint customer but I called n complained & they did some type of refreshing n viola I was gOod

LTE means nothing if coverage is low. Matter of fact, Wimax is theoretically proven to be faster than LTE. Don't know why people think LTE is so great.

Yes. I've tested multiple times today. I've also tested it in various parts of the city the last few days. It's always above 10mbps. Most of the time it's above 15.
Edit: More results after mine that's even faster. Nice work T-mobile.
