Comparison Sprint WiMax V.S. Verizon EV-DO

A team from Laptop magazine went to Baltimore, the fist city chosen by Sprint to debuts its first commercial 4G WiMax network.  The tests were conducted using the Sprint XOHM ExpressCard adapter and the Kyocera EV-DO card on Verizon Wireless’ network.

The results are shown below. XOHM seems to deliver from 50 to 300% faster in speed.

Beside the coverage of XOHM is still in its infancy compared to Verizon EV-DO. For people who can have both networks presence. The choice is clear when you have a closer look of the pricing:

• XOHM costs $10 for a day pass, or $25 per month for Home Internet service and a $30 monthly On-the-go service no contract. There’s also the option of a $50 “Pick 2 for Life” monthly service plan. clocking in at 3.05 Mbps downstream and 2.4 Mbps upstream.
• EV-DO on Verizon Wireless, by comparison, costs a sky high $39.99 for just 50MB of data usage or $59.99 for 5GB of data. Additionally, you need to have a 2-year contract. 1.43 Mbps downstream and 0.54 Mbps upstream
