As with any type of wireless connection (licensed or unlicensed), WiMAX is more susceptible to jitter, latency, packetloss, etc that can cause session based connections to behave badly. Web browsing, POP, SMTP, etc are all transactional in nature and more tolerant of latency.
If your session based connections are important to you, DSL is a far superior technology as there is no shared medium with the exception of the backhaul which in most cases these days is fiber and has plenty of capacity.
