Globe Wimax Review Final Take

I have been newly subscribed with Globe Wimax, so I can give my take with this 4G infrastructure Globe is boasting about consistent and stable broadband wireless internet. What I notice about this is that, when you first subscribed the installers will bring the blender (Globe Wimax Modem), and an aerial antenna. When you subscribed for 1mbps, you will only get 512 kbps bandwidth. The technician/installers said it will take a few days to get your blender MAC address configured on the datanet server so it will give you your subscribed speed. You can speed it up by making a call to support but one call is not enough, However the representatives is not very helpful and delude you that the problem is with the subscriber setup, like computer hardware, antenna, everything that they can think of to get you to stop whining.

I got my subscribed speed after three weeks, I've been loosing hope with this provider and about to consider getting rid of it and looking for another who offer a better service. From my experience, so those of you who will be interested to avail Globe Wimax this will help you, a forum poster in tipidpc.com named domsaint made a checklist if you are a first time subscriber, I highly recommend you reading this Globe Wimax 101 Tips and Tricks.

Now, what I hate about Globe is their response time to cater the needs of the subscriber. They are so slow and some added frustration their Customer Support sucks. I will not even dare go into details.

The juicy part of this review is that I am now satisfied with my service from Globe Wimax 4G technology. I can say they deliver their advertised speeds, consistency and stable wireless broadband. After you got what you subscribed, because you will not get it right away, this is for 1mbps package only. But with the ones who subscribed for 512 kbps package, I have no idea if they will get the same experience.

Another point about Wimax, is when I move to another location such as another house around town, I just bring my blender (modem) and I can still get online without the antenna. What you will notice is that even if your signal and link quality is below 50% you will still get your bandwidth. So your speed is not dependent on your signal. But if its lower than 10% you will experience a big impact on the performance. I suggest you find a good reception by placing the blender anywhere it gets good signal, rotating it or placing at high places near windows.

Below is a video of my speed test on three speed test sites.
