Globe WiMax tops at 8Mbps uncapped

While the fastest option/plan currently available on Globe WiMax is only up to 1Mbps, the network can actually deliver real-world speeds of up to 8Mbps. We did the test yesterday with an uncapped WiMax connection at GreenHills, San Juan.

SpeedTest detected a maximum connection speed of 8.27Mbps download and 2.58Mbps upload. But again, this is the uncapped connection. You’ll get between 384Kbps to 1Mbps when you’re on a regular WiMax plan.

I’m still pretty curious with WiMax so I’ve applied for a regular 1Mbps subscription to see how it fares here in my area in Makati. Anybody else out there who have tried Globe WiMax? What’s your experience so far?

@wha – yes, it’s available in Nueva Ecija.

@RJ – that specific account was uncapped by Engineers from Globe. If you’re a regular sub, you are capped to your plan.

@JM @dan – I was the one (not Globe) who used SpeedTest for my sample shots. I thought it’s the most familiar tool to everyone.
