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.

Globe Wimax Review Second Look

I made a review on globe wimax recently, check it here. I was doing my usual task, and decided to test my bandwidth, out of the blue and noticed an improvement.

The thing is, my house is under renovation, that needed me to relocate my stuff. So I setup my globe wimax modem outside the house in our nipa hut at the backyard, grabbed my antenna from the roof and just put the antenna pole on the side of the nipa hut roof with no strings attached. It is a temporary location. I have less signal in this location but higher link quality signal, two bars on the blender (globe wimax modem).
Signal strength at 49%, Link Quality(CINR Reuse1) at 19% and Link Quality(CINR Reuse3) at 29%




Got this bandwidth. Hooray! Finally after three weeks of constant calls to customer support. It finally got what i subscribed for.

Better than having this from my previous speedtest.

Here is a video of another speedtest using Globe Wimax using wi-tribe speed test tool and speedtest.net using Globe Mandaluyong server.

Another unhappy day of fast internet by Globe wimax technology.
