completely agree with ichi and ico....although they claim same speed but i think wireless communication quality depends on weather condition also...atleast my landline broadband do not deteriorate in extreme weather conditions...
this is my assumption only...maybe wimax is not prone to weather conditions...

Tata Wimax provides CPE for free. Why bsnl is charging so much ? I remember when I booked Tata Wimax 2 years back, I didn't paid anything except the advance plan charges for 6 months.

It's not prone to weather conditions, just depends how close the tower is to get the best CINR and RSSI values.
