Default [Q] Streak 7 / Plex.apk / T-Mobile 4G Issue

Hey guys.. I read a LOT on here and I can't find anything in particular about the problem i'm experiencing. This is sort of a 2 part question..

I'm new to 4G and how network packets are routed, but maybe this is just a flaw in the application. Plex is an application you can install on your IOS or Android device that lets you stream media from your home. When I have my Streak 7 connected to wifi it works GREAT. If I turn wifi off and have it on 4G it wont load.. it's as if Plex doesn't even have a connection (in the application.. the rest of the device works great). If I go out to a 3G area the application works great again.

What gives? Does the development of an application need to accept different speed networks, or once the device is connected to the net (like any typical PC) the connection performance only works as good as your speed?

This really bugs me.. I was planning on using this application to stream movies while I'm out of town on business.

Thanks in advance!

- Joe

The application doesn't support hspa+ if I had to make an educated guess. Similar things happen to my evo on wimax using other applications
