A Globe guy just came here in our place yesterday to offer testing for their WIMAX in our aread (Lapulapu City Cebu). They are processing my account for a free 3 week trial 1MBps connection for 995, no obligations to continue service. I told them that I wanted to test the reliability of their service compared to my current SMARTBRO 384kbps for 999.

If I end up a satisfied WIMAX user, Im not sure if i would still cancel my smartbro. It’s so hard to deal with CS and techs. I dont want any charges.

from mindanao…particularly zamboanga… had my connection for almost a week.. so far ok naman yung speed delivered as promised 512 kbps. sumosobra pa nga minsan e umaabot pa ng 600+ kbps. Kahit na dalawang bar lang signal ko consistent naman yung speed nya. although may minor glitches sa connection minsan nawalan ako ng signal for i think 20 minutes akala ko eto na yung mga nababasa ko sa mga blogs na mga problema sa globe. buti na lang bumalik ulet. tsaka napapasin ko minsan nag titimeout yung connection habang nag brobrowse ka. or kung iwan mong idle yung connection mo for a few minutes nawawala sya. baket kaya yan? Napansin ko rin hinde ko ma ping yung sariling ip address na assign sa akin palaging timeout.. kahit nag brobrowse ako…

It’s junk when companies use tech terms such as WiMax, but don’t actually offer of have the capability to offer WiMax speeds. The speed they are offering can be accomplished with 3G … 3G can offer 7 times faster speeds. Everyone get excited for WiMax that is slower than standard modern 3G on a decent network.

I think it’s possible as long as your built-in 3G/Wimax modem has the proper device drivers and dialer. All you will need is the settings.

Master YugaTech, I have a Dell Studio XPS 13 laptop and its WiMax enable (Mobile Broadband enabled and yes, it has a sim card slot), can I avail of the service without any required equipments (USB Modem) and with WiMAX can I use internet anywhere I go in the metro?

I have requested Wimax since 5/23. They stopped sales from the Tagaytay office and instead offer 3g. I told the guy that I wanted the 1mbps wimax.

Globe, please if you are not going to have any modems available… don’t do press releases saying it is now available.

I wonder kung meron ng forum na nagdi-discuss ng speed ng globe wimax.

Thanks Sir Abe for featuring this. I wish our area (Bukidnon) will be covered soon. I am a subscriber of Broadband Wireless, accdg to the marketer my connection is up to 512kbps at P995 per month. they provided me with the new 3g Router B933 + outdoor antenna. But I’ve got bad experience with this provider. No idea where to contact them. I know their website but hanvt checked it for contacts. My location is good, and I’ve got full signal and can achieve HSDPA connection,however connection is still intermittent. Many “request time-out” upon using the ping command. However I have downloaded DVD for one night from rapidshare using premium account. Connection and Downloading are better between 1-5am but during the day the connection is bad. I cant use the speedtest.net. It takes to long to open it, no way of determining the speed of my internet during the day. Thanks.

Can we convert our current Globe DSL line to WiMax?

I wish I could have GPON connection here in our location. By the way does Gumaca Quezon includes WiMax coverage?
