Ayan naman pala eh 8 MBPS ang uncapped speed ng Wimax, eh di pinatunayan lang nila na ang total bandwidth na naka-allocate para sa Greenhills, San Juan ay around 8 MBPS or 10 MBPS at most! Isipin nyo na lang na merong 100 users ng Globe Wimax dyan sa Greenhills at sabay-sabay na nagdownload, eh di tig-80 KBPS na lang siguro sila, roughly the same speed as a dial up modem.

Kung magpoprovide sana ang globe ng ganitong service, siguraduhin nilang sufficient ang bandwidth na iaallocate nila per area, at least mga 50 MBPS man lang para kayanin ang maraming subscribers.

we have a wimax plan. it was slow at first on the 1st 2 weeks. then i think i reported it to globe and suddennly bumilis. pero the last few days bumagal ng sobrang bagal at nagkaka DNS Error pa kame. Check na namin lahat ng settings ng computer.Ganun pa ren. Tumawag ako sa Globe kanina, meron daw connection problem yata sa buong Luzon, at inaayos pa daw. Hays! Nakakainis kasi it severly affected my online jobs. Sana maayos na.

Subscriber of Globe Wi-max..Mine’s ok at first 3 weeks.. i get 1.02mbps on the speedtest but 3 days ago until now i only get half of it.. why? does this mean globe is capping my speed? it’s unfair.

I have my wimax test kit from witribe, actually i borrowed the test kit from a friend who is a witribe agent. So far, it has proven na worth a try itong offer nila. By the way, i’m in bulacan. I got at least 2 bars of signal strength. He said, once the base station near us is completed, the bar strength will be at full capacity. He also said na they want feedback from customers like us. Para mapagusapan raw nila from the higher up yun concerns ng mga users. By the way, they are implementing a 3 GB cap/month, once you hit that cap, it automatically throttles down to 512 kbps. offpeak naman daw from 1 to 7 am, you got the 1 mbps you paid for. They said its for the good of the ‘masa’ which means yung nakakarami. I said, my concern is pano kung heavy user ka, they said, its the one thing their going to discuss with the higher up. Siguro, if your willing to pay the PESOSES to get the broadband you like, you get what you paid for, right? They said right. Kaya, kung wala kang pera, tiyaga ka sa mabagal. Ganun lang siguro yun.

naka wimax ako plan ko 1mb pero ang speed lng skin half lng ng 1mb.. bkit ganun? pero ung sa kaibigan parehas kami plan pero 1mb sknya.. gara nga eh..

Hi to all!!!
Just wait for the upcomming if the real broadband is… The real 4G technology…

Thanks
jack

show-off lang ‘to..parang pina-narrow lang yung coverage ng BTS para mas mabilis yung throughput, tapos QC server pa ginamit?!

Here in Alabang, It’s terrible!

I have a 1mpbs connection. very good internet connection. laguna ako

That’s right WIMAX is not 4G. Supposedly WIMAX should dominate as far as “last mile” is concerned over 3G/HSDPA and DSL. Perhaps, Globe still not rolling-out enough infrastructure because it’s still new technology and still uncertain whether it is future proof technology considering 4G technology is on the horizon. Actually, 4G is available in some U.S. states.

dito nga sa balayan batangas, di makaabot yang wimax na yan. may 3g nga dito, unreliable naman, maddc ka lagi. may globelines broadband nga pero wala namang available na port para makabitan. 3 years nang walang available port dito sa amin, poblacion pa po ito.

Well whether it is tested or theoretical, capped or uncapped, Wimax right now is unrealiable here in Cebu. Besides, the fact that Speedtest.net can give that numbers does not mean that it will 8 Mbps EVERYTIME.

@RJ Wimax is not 4G. It is the same as what Smart did when they labeled their Fixed wireless internet Smart Wifi.In fact Wimax would be closer to Wifi than 3G.

In the end its like Globe is using a tool they hated a few moon cycles ago just because it makes them look good. If the numbers are so reliable why don’t they use the same test they use to counter Smart’s claim?

Called them a few months back and they said “stop selling” daw ang status ng wimax. Dont know the reason why they advertise and say its not available. According to their ad, Carmona is included in their servicable areas.

This sucks!!!!!

lagi naman nila sinasabi na nation widest coverage pero until now di pa din kami naabot ng signal dito sa indang, cavite. naku naman!

Sana may ganito samin.

remember the smart bro commercial?

How much is the 1mbps?

Funny they used speedtest.net to measure the speed. :P

is it available here in nueva ecija sir yuga?
