But you must have a wimax enabled laptop or desktop computer in order to use this technology.

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

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.
