WiMax stable enough for Xbox Live gaming??

Is WiMax stable enough for Xbox Live gaming?

Latency with WiMax be too much to overcome, or is it stable?

Looking for people who has had first hand experience with above scenario, but welcome to all comments!

What WiMAx provider claims:
7m down
512k up
Ping always within 60-90ms(I presume to their servers)
Contention ratio 4:1

Hi.
Thanks for the info.
I don't think it will be able to withstand any level of satisfactory gaming, especially when I was chatting to another one of their techs and confirmed the area i'm in, is on the limit for indoor box and can't give a guarantee on the outdoor box until tested by an onsite engineer.
Funnily enough, another tech of theirs said the opposite regarding the distance(tends to be the case with call support!), but some of the modems arrived today, checked out a neighbour's and a no go! External box is their next step for them.

The offer seems good on paper but I'll stick to the hard line!
Thanks!
