In practical terms, WiMAX would operate similar to WiFi but at higher speeds, over greater distances and for a greater number of users.
March 27th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
WIMAX is better than WIFI..
like sows says…
peo prang late n ata tau pra sa WIMAX? i heard about 3years ago mei gnyan na..

March 28th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
ah yun ba yun!!!! akala ko bagong sinehan.
March 28th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
^^^ wla kayong idea how philippines is very much advance in IT technology and way much cheaper there than here were iam now… mahirap pa mag apply ng connection… this is a supposed to be one of the richest country in the whole wide world…pero technology dito barat…
March 28th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
mejo obsolete na nga ang technology-ng ito para sa pinas.
March 29th, 2009 at 1:23 am
Obsolete kau dyan, eh nauna pa nga kau minsan eh, tulad dito sa UAE wla pang WiMax… wifi pa rin gamit dito, yun nga lang yung wifi dito parang mas mabilis pa sa WiMax ng Globe hehehe. Saka mura ang broadband nyo dyan.
Tulad ng iPhone3G mas nauna pa ang globe nag launching samanatala dito sa UAE last month lang.
Pero sa bahay namin dyan PLDT DSL… makalipat nga sa GLOBE hehehe

March 30th, 2009 at 11:31 am
OK ba yan wimax na yan may nkatry nba? ano msa2bi nyo?
March 30th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Nagpakabit lang kami ng ganito sa amin… so far humahanga ako sa performance niya. k2lad na lang ng pag view mo sa youtube. hindi na masyo nagbubuffer at ang download speed nya is superior if we were to compare it to its competitors…. and to think medyo malayo and cell site ng globe d2 sa amin… I would highly recommend this new technology although hindi na ito ang latest wireless technology sa mundo….try nyo lng mei money back guarantee naman eh…
March 30th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
TALAGA ganun kabilis…. cge try ko rin next year kc naka contract pa ko sa PLDT eh

April 4th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
WiMax daw ba…much better yan kesa wifi in terms of speed ang range…bakit sa nort luzon muna ang inuna…Globe guys unahin nyo na kaya central luzon
April 5th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
inu una lang nila ang area ng mga kapuso kasi yun lang ang may kaya.. sa kapamilya daw kasi puro delay ang bayad sa wifi so bakit pa raw cla i upgrade sa wimax dapat lang daw dial up sa kanila….hahah ang poor
April 6th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
so ganun pala yun..ang kapuso reach! kaya pala may pambayad sila sa survey para lagi top rating mga programs nila…hik hik hik hik

April 13th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
bro san ka sa cavite? cavite din ako galing ako sa Globe Last week hindi pa nila alam tong wimax
may i know kung san ka nag inquire nito????
April 14th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Mabilis sana ang wimax ng globe kaso,,lagi bigla nalng mag freeze and hindi maka browse,,my time rin ang bagal mag browse,,,I think problema ng backbone nila eto.,,,ang kalabasan wala rin kwente ang new tech na wimax nato.
April 18th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
yan ang tinatawag na overloaded, kasi x3 nila ang capasity ng isang base station at pa hinaan ang subscription per user kay ganyan mabagal ang connection nyo….yan ang uso sa philippinas… mga mandurugas kasi ang mga ISP at telecom company dyan…..
April 28th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Anyone here from Antipolo?
gusto ko sana malaman if available na ang WiMax dito.
I’m sure there’s a lot more room for improvement sa WiMax ng globe like increase in bandwidth. Bago pa lang to and if gusto ng Globe ipagyabang sa competition nila itong wireless solution nila, surely tatapatan nila ang kalaban kahit anong habol pa gawin nila.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Mga bro, ang signal ng globe wimax ay nagdedepende ba sa globe celfon signals? Dito kasi ako sa leyte at walng landline dito globe transmitter lang. malakas naman ang signal dito sa globe visibility pero gprs lang makukunan ng signal para makabrows ako sa internet.
June 3rd, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Pede Po ba yan kahit nasa bundok ka? May pc kami pero dito sa bundok. Panu nayuun. O_o
June 25th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
yung mga nagbabalak na magpakabit ng globe wimax wag nyo ng ituloy kc masasayang lang ang pera nyo…512kbps nga sya pero ang bagal naman..3G pa naman ang signal nito..
June 27th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Anu bayan wala nabang mabilis dito sa Pilipinas?

waw bilis po ng wimax globe! kaya lang nga gaya po ng nabanggit ni Frozen me problema nga siguro sa backbone, or something else, 2 bar lng signal ko pero di nawawala, @ 1mbps . but im keeping my o’l reliable smartbro, kasi kahit medyo mabagal seldom ako nagkaproblem sa connection. di rin nagagamitan ng router yung wimax, kaya problema ko pano ko i link yung dalawang isp sa isang network, mga gurus patulong please…..
July 12th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
thanx
July 17th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
some info on WiMax…
a. wireless broadband internet access.
b. it’s a different network from mobile phone (3G).
c. throughput is around 2-3Mbit/s.
Ingat kayo sa offer ng GLOBE na 512Mbit/s, hindi dapat ganyan kabagal yan.
Throughput dapat ay 2Mbps!
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:26 pm
to Smartbro turning to globe
zup.. im a smart bro user here in cavite… now its available in our place… yeah..

Kumusta ung Globe wimax mu?
August 4th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
taga bulacan kami, nagpunta dito kahapon para mag install ng wimax ang globe,nilabas ang huawei modem, akala ko walang atenna na ikakabit kaso meron pala, naghanap sila ng signal sa bubong kahit na malapit lang kami sa cellsite ng globe siguro mga 2-3 km lang, kaso 2 signal lang ang kanilang nakuha, ang sabi: “sir, may nakaharang ng building”, ang sabi ko , akala ko ba wimax ito, hindi na kailangan ng line of sight? ang sabi ng technician, sir, para kasi syang smartbro, sabi ko ang smartbro wifi hindi wimax.tapos sinabi nila hindi pwedeng ikabit kasi mahina signal, pinapirma ako, sabay alis na sila, ang tanong ko wimax ba ito???
August 6th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
hmmmmmmmmm……………..broadband technician ako….huawei technologies kasi newfacilities na gamit nila ngayun ehh…sa tingin ko palpak kz di pa nila napeferfect kz bago lang ang huawei ehhhh….
August 18th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
just got installed last aug 13 kinuha namin 1mbps, sabi ng contractor sa una daw 512 kbps muna then eventually magiging 1mbps. At first it was very impressive, sa youtube di nagba-buffer then simula na ng kalbaryo…intermittent, slow and minsan no connection at all! kahit pa puno yung signal bars! I’ve tried to contact their hotline at nakakainis pa mga TSR’s nila parang walang masyadong alam. May major cable cut daw because of the earthquake in Japan so ok lang, sa Aug 17 daw ok na so understandable kumbaga. Then came aug 17, walang pinagbago, super bagal talaga…wala nako magagawa may lock in period sila na 1 yr and i have to pay 2.5k for the termination fee! I’m hoping/praying na maayos pa sana, wala naman silang globelines dito sa north caloocan (senate village) para sa wired internet. Sayang!

I’m using my cellphone with a smart gold prepaid sim to connect to the internet. I activated its 3G capability. I’m downloading a 100MB file on rapidshare which took me an hour to complete. My download speed is usually 50 Kbps and sometimes 70 to 80 Kbps. Variable speeds. Is this the norm? Is my connection slow?
