Sprint 4G latency

I’m currently using a wireless (fixed, not mobile) ISP. The latency I get using the Motorola Canopy equipment is 22 ms. My download speeds are 1818 kbps.

With Sprint’s 4G WiMax, the latency is 106 ms. The download speed is 2.9 Mbps.

What has me concerned is that I use this connection to VNC into a computer at work. Sure, the upload/download speeds are great, but I wonder if the latency is hurting me. I also wonder if the latency improves when the signal conditions get better. (On the Clear connection utility, I have 6 green dots out of 10.)
