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?
Globe wimax service needs a LOT of improvement. They should focus on providing quality service on paying subscribers.
Sir may mas mataas pa jan.. globe wimax din,, BM622 heres the link.. http://youtu.be/91cYSi73RuI
bro paano eh speed up yung internet connection sa globe wimax..?
plzz help me..?
to all BM622 user pag nawala connection nyo check nyo yung MAC address nyo sa Modem at sa Configuration kung magkatugma, minsan kasi parang may sumisira sa MAC address eh .. yung sakin parang nahack yung MAC address, nagtitis na nga ako ng mabagal na connection tapos nawala pa ng tuluyan hahahah. fuck.
hindi nga maganda status mo parekoy dito ako sa apalit reklamo din kmi diyan sa globe ang sabi ng globe malayo daw ang cellsite nila dito sa may tabuyok pa daw. maganda pa performance ng smart dito sa apalit.
dali lang nman e hack wimax hehhee…pag aralan nio para makabawi din kayo ^_^
Paano po ba mapa-uncap ang speed ng BM622 ng Globe? Interested po talaga ako kasi hindi ako satisfied sa service nila.
Subukan kaya natin paimbestigahan sa “BITAG”. Tayong lang magreklamo.

FUck you globe wimax! napaka ganda ng commercial niyo, pero serbisyo wala naman! ilang araw na akong walang connection! katapat lang ng bahay namin ang cell site ninyo! tapos ganyan! fuck you talga! nakaka pikon, pano ang trabaho ko?online pa naman!sana my magdemanda sa inyo!
Tama ang sabi ni nicktm. Dapat e upgrade nila ang server nila at huwag na nilang pahihirapan ang mga subscribers nila. Magbabayad naman tayo ng tama at hindi naman tayo aaboso kung hindi nila tayo bibigyan ng problema diba? Sobra naman ang pagka defensive nila.
Pandaraya lang yang bandwidth cap na yan para kahit papaano maibsan yung congestion ng network nila during peak hours. Ang dapat eh di subscriber ang pumasan niyan kasi kumikita naman sila.,Dapat upgrade nalang sila ng system nila for unlimited use gaya ng sinssbi sa add nila..At alisin na yang cap,cap na yan para masaya ang buhay net ng bayan.
For idiot people who does not have a clue what bandwidth cap is all about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_cap
lodan nyo lang ako ng 30 php.. at sa ngayon ang pwede ko lng e reconnect ulit ay ang mga moden na bm622, bm621, bm625… except bm622i kc mahaba talaga ang configuration nyan unlike sa ibang modem aabot lng ng 5 mins at tapos may internet kana… opps waa kalimutan lod ko kc… oras at tunay na serbisyo ang bigay ko… :D pm nyo lng ako sa number ko 090664*****… hanggang sa muli… okina?

Pwede nyo b ko matulungan kasi ang wimax status wala BSID number. Walang ring nakakaalam sa GLOBE. Kahit ang technical nila. Buti pa ang tech na nagpunta sa amin ang sabi kaya di ako makaconnect e dahil sa BSID na ito? Nga pala 15 days na ako wala internet connection! Ano ba talaga? di naman nila maipaliwag kung bakit di ako malagyan ng BSID o kung kelan magkakaroon. Balita, naglilinis ng system ang GLOBE dahil marami naghahack ng system at di nagbabayad.Kaya ANTAY B
Dati ang reklamo ko lang ang kabagalan nya ngayon ito. Wala ka namna makausap na toto sa 211. Kala ko nga ako lang ang nagrereklamo, marami pala.
BUYING Globe Broadband WiMAX disconnected..

Buying Disconnected Globe WiMAX
Putang inang globe yan. 5 days pa bago na activate ung account ko. tapos. ang Chat nila laging Nagddisconnect after few minutes.
pag ttawag ka ng hotline 211 putang ina mga scripted din ang sinasabi. eh wala naman sila mattulong lagi pa under maintenance. tpos nung na activate na ung account ko. putang inang bilis! 314kb/s bilis noh? is this the 1mb plan of them? nung first month ko dati. nasa 900kb – 1mb. pero nung 2nd plan ko na. putang ina wala kwenta. dapat i boycott tong mga to eh. mas mabuti pa connection ng ibang bansa. ang bbilis dito. putang ina. kundi mo pa paypayan di aandar ng mabilis ._.
pag ganyan ang serbisyo, dapat hinahack!!! try it
Pag malapit kayo sa cellsite kahit papano makakasagap kayo ng ok na signal, tsaka kung mgspeedtest kayo gamitin nyo ung server from the other country dun nyo malalaman kung gaano talaga ang speed ng Globe Wimax.
Globe Internet service is sucks, mas mabilis pa dial-up. note that I’m already subscribing 1 Mbps. Bad trip.
Try using Glasnost to check whether is shaping your traffic. Google Glasnost.
So far dito sa laguna, Walang problem. sa una lang talaga sobrang bagal, we have been using this for. 3 months, wala kaming problema, mabilis ang net. :)

thats not a “real world” speed at all. You are testing to a location on the same small ass island. Try testing that connection to a place somewhere else in the world that actually hosts the majority of internet content like the U.S., Europe, or even japan. I bet you can’t get passed 1mbit even “uncapped”. Philippine internet connections are a joke.
mag log on kayo sa speedtest .net . kunin ang speed test at ipost sa tweeter mag pa follow kayo sa globe , , tapos i post nyo rin ang result sa journalismo sa facebook para marami ang makaalam sa kapalpakan ng globe ,baka sakaling tablan ang makakapal nilang mukha
stupid wimax.. dont u dare to think in subscribing…
just now.. i experience slow.. connection.. if i want to use it.. kelangan gisin aq from 1 to 7… dun lang kc bumibilis yung speed q… i a;lways watch movies online…
nka lockin na aq kaya d na pde icancel…. this sucks..
slow connection kainis….
BTW im from molo iloilo…
kainis…
i got a wimax 1mbps thinking that i can have a better down load speed and unlimited dowm load………not until globe put my account to what they call fare user policy….. globe can cut your speed if you exceed 21g of down load…..i called the hot line to complain about having expereinced a very slow speed on my internet…. upon checking my account the operator told me that my account was put to ” fare user policy ” becuase i exceed 21g of down load….. i said what the fuck….. i signed up with unlimited used and there is a limit pala? globe is full of shit….. i think this is unfare and illegal trading and marketing….coz when i signed the contract i did not see any thing that said until 21g of down load only….so mga pare if you are experiencing a slow on your internet….its not technical…. globe put you on a fare user policy….and i think this is illigal…..sorry for my barok english …..i just hate globe illigal practiced
kabad3p na nga ang globe..512 kbps n lng ung narerecib ko ngaun..nung una lng xa 1 mbps..bd3p mi capped pang nalalaman..globe sucks..
hayzzz….badtrip naman so deceiving unlimited internet daw ang GLOBE WIMAX sa advertisement pero naka capping pala, limited to 25gig lang ang 1mbps…naloloko ako…ang sad..you cant cancell it kasi naka contract ka for a year…lols…wawa naman me…
Hi Guys,
im planning to subscribe to a provider
globe wimax? smart broadband? pldt dsl?
pasig area greenwoods unavailable globe wired sa area at skybroadband unavailable din
stability wise? ayoko ng wi tribe kasi may bandwidth cap na 6gb per month kulang sa streaming and download
thanks
what happen if disconnected ka na sa plan ng wimax?
– can’t visit any site anymore? and globe website lng ba navivisit?
– or totally no connection at all.
@skip2mylou
pag ganan lage nanyari sau..itawag mu sa globe yan..at kc ung globe 3 days bago maactivate ung bago mung modem so wait for 3 days..then kung ganun pa din call mu ung globe at sabihin mu ung prob mu..
ung globe ko so far so good naman xa..nung 3rd wik ko lng nagkprobkea tinawag ko sa kanila tas inaus nila, aus nagloloko pa din nung una pero nung naka 1 month na ko ok na xa lage na 1mbps ung connection ko at 3 bars lage..right now mag 3 months na ko sa globe..
gud luck sa inyo.:)
@Walter D. De Vera
mabagal nga..ilang months ka na naka wimax?
@Walter D. De Vera
bro mabagal nga yan..ilang months na ba yan?super capped yan ah..
Just got an answer with them just now… They will REPLACE again my modem for a new MODEL not the BM622… SAna lang at umayos na un! haist…….
HASSLE………
Same WIMAX problem here guys,
Unang install nila BOOM 3bars ang signal and connect agad even no antenna attached. After 2 weeks ayun intermittent na… Always on “CONNECTING” status and kung mag connect man 1BAR lang. Then 1-2days nde na talaga ako nakaconnect thats the time to call their contact centre and send someone to check. After isolation/checking on my connection they told me that the problem is my “MODEM” WTF??? and one tech told me na something “may problem yung mga latest batch na nirelease ni globe” and they sched again for replacement of my modem. Day after they finally replaced my MODEM for a new one.
Soo syempre pagkainstall ng new modem BOOM 3bars and connect agad no antenna attached…
We observe and test OK na yung connection syempree medyo nabawasan na ko ng ines, connected na eh at 3bars pa eh.
Ayun, after 1-2hrs biglang nag down at intermittent ulet ung signal at balik connecting status na lng. pero nag connect naman sya ulet after 20mins but 1bar lang. after that “connecting status na lng ulet”. GRRR ayaw na!!!
Soo lagi na lang bang tatawag sa kanila un?!

papalit mo na lang ng 3g mas mura pa mas reliable pa, ganyan din problema ko dati kahit 100% signal mo dyan wala rin connection yan 6 months akong nagbabayad para lang mangunsumi sa kanila, alam na ng globe ang problemang yan makakapal lang talaga mukha nila
@n4gauge pgka2 alam ko hindi, nakaconfig un sa tower.
im using Globe Wimax and im having intermittent connection for more than 2 weeks now. Globe technicians are regularly visiting me coz im calling cust support almost everyday but alas! no changes in my connection up to now and what’s worst is that, im in the verge of losing my online job because of my internet connection. :(
tsong
is the a possible hack for this to uncapped the speed of a 1mbs plan i dont need anyone to tell me since u wont just want to know if there is
yes or no pls
On 512 kbps wimax plan for a week now. so far so good. i guess u just have to make sure that u don’t settle for less than a hundred percent signal during the installation because signal fluctuation is expected. I insisted for 100% and didn’t allow them to decide on their usual katamaran in fixing the signal output.
tama at first lng maganda ang wimax n yan after mo mag pay ng 1st bill bagal n agad.. kainis
@danny, akyatin mo nalng try mo e relocate ung receiver..
kainis talaga yang wimax na yan kakasura inayus na 1 bar parin ang signal then umambon lang la na signal,,,im from baguio sabi napakalapit namin sa tower nila pero d makasagap ng signal,,ayusin naman ninyo network at service ninyo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,we are pay for nothing,!!!!!!!!
mg setup kc ako ng wifi zone katulad ng globe.kailangan ko lang malaman kung saan makabili nun.ty
@ jopet aanhin mo ung modem, nakaregister kaka na nga sa globe di ka pa makakuha ng signal eh,

@ Globe ayusin mo naman ang inglis mo
The Globe now is on a maintanance just in 3 days.
So please shut down all your computer in 11 a.m.
After all the comments here, considering that this site is one of the most viewed blogs, may nagawa na ba ang Globe sa concerns natin?
Meron kaya sa atin maglakas ng loob na magpledge ng small amount until the amount for a full page ad sa major newspaper ay mareach at ilagay natin dun yung reklamo natin. May gagawin na kaya ang Globe?
I’ve tried their wireless, then 3g, at iba pa… Lahat walang kwenta! Yung handyphone lang yata ang m atino sa kanila eh.
Naku! Tama kayo sa mga sinabi nyo na sa una lang talaga magaling ang Globe Wimax, mag 1month narin akong nakasubscribe sa Wimax okey naman siya nung una pero now grabe sobrang hina na, feeling ko nga para akong walang internet connection dito sa bahay. puro na lang offline games nilalaro ko.,
WAG NA PO KAYONG MAGSUBSCRIBE SA GLOBE WIMAX, SA UNA LANG SILA OKEY PERO PAGKABAYAD MO NG 1st MONTH Eh HIHINAAN NA NILA :'(
DAPAT TLGA E REPORT NA TO, PWD KAYA TO KAY TULFO? O DI KAYA SA XXX TSKA IMBESTIGADOR,. KAKABADTRIP KASI!!!
wala ppa namang internet connection d2 sa pinas,, dapat kpag 1 mbps ung subscription mo eh dapat 1mbps din ung download speed mo… kso s 1 mbps eh 100kbps lang.. anu ba yun? kalokohan diba?
sakin nga eh 6 na account ang diko binayaran dyan sa lintik na yan eh…. gnagamit ko lang hanggang sa maexpired ug account.. tas pakabit na ulit… hehehehe,,, naghhintay lang ako na maexpire ung account.. then pkabit na ulit ako,,, kung ilgal sila.. ilegal din ako. hehehehhe
kaya pala umiiyak yung babae sa commercial nila na nag subscribe sa wimax ano?
@ Medz
“”
ano? copper wire with optical signal? What the..
@ Medz
anu silbi ng Gigabit LAN kung 1Mbps lang connection mo?
kahit Core i7, ATI 5790, and 12GB RAM gamit mo. kung unreliable and unstable connection mo. bale wala din yan!
(i’m talking about the internet connection)
Guys wag na kayong mangarap, any Broadband Wired or Wireless, DSL, etc. they are all shared, usually they have a contention ratio of 1:10, so yung advertised 1Mbps speed is not guaranteed bandwidth but the maximum burst. You can only have a guaranteed 1Mbps if you have a leased-line (1:1 unity contention). A 1Mbps leased-line Internet is different from 1Mbps DSL, Wireless Broadband (kahit maging 5G pa yan). I’m using a 4Mbps Leased-line on my company and it cost Php 70,000/month, that’s is totally different from a 4Mbps DSL or Cable or 4G.
lol Medz. Freelance tech ka nga ba talaga?
my WiMax Modem is currently connected to my LinkSys :-))
Mga Brod, The Best Talaga ang services & connections ng wired kasi DSL yon, constant ang signal na dumadaloy sa wired which is fiber optic, unlike sa broadband or wireless, maraming mga bagay or factors ang nakakapagpahina ng signal nito at maging sa computer mo, mga interferences gaya ng linya ng kuryente, radio (icom or motorolla)at iba pa at syempre ang specifications ng computer unit mo. Kailangan mag-match or compatible ang mga hardwares and internet packages nito. Suggestions lang kung gusto mo kahit papano maging maganda at mabilis ang pagsusurf, online games or video streaming mo, set-up ka ng unit na mabilis, Quad or Six Core, lagyan mo nang mataas na RAM (4GB)at lagyan mo rin ng high-end na video card (PCI-E DDR3 OR DDR5), then kailangan ang LAN connection ng motherboard mo ay Gigabit kasi 1000Mpbs ang transfer rate nun design for video streaming, downloading, file sharing at online games. Since ang Globe Wimax hindi pwede malagyan ng Router unlike sa Smart Bro with Antenna, lagyan mo ng Switch port na Gigabit then yong UTP cable mo kailangan T568A ang gamitin mong conding. Tested and Proven kona ito mga Brod, matagal narin akong nag Fe-Freelance Tech.
grabe. alang kwenta na na ata ang mga providers ngayun. tanging wired-plans lang ang reliable ngaun. di sya pede sa aking yang globe nayan he pala online games ako eh. ala pa kasing phone line ang area natem dito sa bacoor eh kaya ala akong choice kundi magtiis ng walang internet kesa manakawan lang ako
don’t subscribe to globe wimax.. bandwidth and connection is not stable.. you can’t play online games :-(
to those who are experiencing low connection try to change the direction of your antenna (globe wimax) or change your base station..ive just tried it and it worked on me..mag observe pa din ako kung naka capped talaga ang globe wimax..kc mahilig ako mag DL..gudluck..:)
@Medz
ok no problem..:))
Maraming Salamat Bro, actually nag apply na ako 1Mb package with phone then papalagyan ko ng outdoor antenna para mas maganda nag signal. Dito ako Iloilo City. Thanks Again bro athan.
@Medz
globe wimax bro..maganda ung speed nia naabot ng 1.4 mbps..tas sa direct DL nag 200kbps pag naka DAP..sa torrent mga 100-130 kbps..sa silang cavite ung location ko..depende na din sa location mo
Naku po, ganyan pala ang performance ng Globe Wimax, meron pa naman sana akong balak magpakabit, siguro mas mabilis naman ang Wimax kumpara mo sa PLDT LL+ parang patay na uod. Advise naman dyan saan ang magandang kunin ang Globe Wimax or Smart Bro Wimax? Pareho lang din sila 1Mb. Hindi na kasi nag oofer ng canopy ang Smart Bro ngayon. Thanks
as of now im contented on my connection on globe wimax..naabot ang DL sa bandwidth monitor ng 1.4 mbps..:)..sana maging stable..:)
walang kwenta wi tribe sa Riza. Akala ko ma mabilis sa Smart yun pala pagong. Pa 4g 4g pa eh di mo naman maramdaman. Mabilis pa modem ang celphone sa Smart. Wi Tribe sucks. Pang tribu lang talaga yan.
walang kwenta wi tribe sa Baras. Akala ko ma mabilis sa Smart yun pala pagong. Pa 4g 4g pa eh di mo naman maramdaman. Mabilis pa modem ang celphone sa Smart. Wi Tribe sucks. Pang tribu lang talaga yan.
tama iparating to sa congress..dinadaya tau nito..d nila natutupad ung serbiyo na dapat sa atin nabibigay..naka capped pa amp..dapat maimbistgahan to talaga..
sayang lang binabayad ko. 1mbps pa naman ung plan ko.
di bale makakaabot ito sa congress o sa senado para maimbetigahan ang globe sa ginagawa nya.
naku sa unang buwan napakalakas ng net ko. after kung magbayad ng first bill simula na ng pagkupad ng signal ko. dati nakakaabot ako ng 1.7mbps down load and 500kbps upload nagyon 167kbps download and 68kbps upload. palpak talaga ang globe. isusumbong ko sa congress ito dapat naka contract ka na bumababa na ung service ng globe
wat the..ang globe eh..napakabagal..2 wiks pa lng ako naka globe wimax eh..ambagal na..0.3 mbps lng speed..ung 1st wik eh nasa 1mbps..pero ngaun..0.3mbpss lng..amp..
Tae ang WIMAX! Im just 3 blocks away from their tower. signal is all 100% but im only getting 400kbps or 500. tae ang globe! Sabi nila up to 1mbps. 100% signal ko so I supposed to get 1mbps! wala cla kwenta. mga Bobo pa csr nila! They are not giving to us the speed that we are paying! TAE!
@donzel : sa pangasinan din ako(lingayen).magkakawifi na kme this sat. Or mon. Ito pinakbt ko ksi natry ko sa clasmate ko.btw,san ka magbabayad ng m0nthly?tsaka magkano yng cdr king wifi router?tnx

correct ka jan!!!
if you have any alternative network in your area , get out of globe, globe is only good in getting our money, they are robbers
get connected and get frustrated..that’s all i can say.. >.<
yes! ksi pnalagyan ko ng pole para mataas yung signal yun lng tas ang sabi ng technician sa globe daw my diperinsya kc 512kbps lng yung bnibigay na signal sakin dman 1mbps yun lng punta daw aq sa pnagaplayan ko kc wala man daw cla magagawa.kc sa site my dperinxa. yes! ang babait nla 3 at naka uneform cla ng white my tatak na globe. minsan maganda tas minsan nawawala lalo pag gabi wala nkung signal.mga 4to10 kya minsan nagnternet ako mga 12 na,khit magreklamo ka ng magreklamo la man cla gnagawa puro lng ok3x aayusin po namin hai!!!!!!!!puro promiz lng cla!hnihintay lng nlaq pagbyaran na!pagnkpagchat ka naman sa knila phihintayin ka ng matagal tas bigla nla puputulin ang line maiinis kalang>
tanong ko lang po kung may nagpunta ng technician sa inyo kanina?
;meron na
magalang po ba sila , naka uniforme?
; oo,
naayos na po ba ang internet connection ninyo?
hindi, ni hindi na nga nila tiningnan ang computer ko kasi alam nila wala naman silang magagawa,
Can I put you on hold for 4 minutes? Thank you. What is the name of the account holder? How are you related to them? What is your birthday? Are you at the installation address? Where is your computer? I am sorry for that. We will “escalate” your “concerns” to our “support group”. THREE WEEKS I HAVE ZERO SIGNAL, WALA INTERNET, STOP ALL THIS ESCALATING AND TURN ON MY INTERNET. Is there anything else I can help you with today? Yeah my internet!!! Oh, I’ll personally make a note of that. Do I have to pay for days with no connection> Globe has automatic rebates for the days you had no service. THEN WHY DID MY BILL GO FROM 995 TO 1161 LAST MONTH. Oh I’m sorry to hear that, is there anything else I may assist you with today? When will my internet be fixed? I have made a note of that in your record and your concerns are being escalated to our support group. Why does my neighbor have service and I do not? We are experiencing a network problem in your area. NO DUMBASS, MY NEIGHBORS ANTENNA IS ON A POLE ON HIS ROOF, AND MY ANTENNA IS ON THE GROUND. oH, Well our engineers have to fix the network problem before they can fix your antenna. WTF.
greetings to all cavite ,laguna , pampanga etc etc etc. globe broadband subscribers , you may be experiencing difficulty in tour internet connection
etc. etc. etc……………………………………….
really dapat you tell them im your customer i didnt complain if your company give me a nice signal.pagnagcomplain ka sa globe 1 lng naman ang sinsabi ongoing signal prob.in your area.pasinsya na inaayos na ng ticnician namin LOL thats a joke!!
kung sa san fernando pampanga ka pa , pag nagcompalin ka sa customer service sa innove sm branch ikaw pa masisigawan nung reyna ng customer service,
dati smartbro ako tas lagi walang signal then i dicided to change in globe wimax becouse i think thats nice morethan the smart 1rst/2wek its verynice the signal and i like it and 3rdwek i cant open anything always server not found.f#$@@K!in everyday i complain 3xaday.akala ko mababa lng yung lugar namin kaya sabi sa 211 magpadala nlang dito ng tauhan nla kc ipapalagay ko nlang sa pole ung antena kc wla talaga akong signal.ng maayos na yung antenna ang ganda ng signal ang bilis na tas 2days plang heto na naman wala na naman haYYYY!i go to globe again to complain sabi ng enstoller kc diman 1mbps yung binibigay na signal ng globe sakin 512kbps lng hi naku i pay this month 1,161ph. my plan is 995 for 1mbps but they give me 512kbps f#$@$%/
globes company policy is, ‘”LET THEM COMPLAIN THEY WILL PAY ANYWAY”
ms ok pa ata ang globe tatto.

been seeing all the threads some says good and some dont well ill see for my own self if it works here in makati
@jezie, brod huwag mo nang subukan magsisisi ka lang, kahit saan walang magandang servisyo ang globe magaling lang sila sa billing,
I am a witribe user and plan ko sana lumipat sa wimax I really wanna know who performs better kasi ang experience ko sa wi-tribe sasabihin nila na unlimited tapos 6 gig lang pala pag lumagpas ka sa 6 gig na dl mo from 1 MBPS baba ng 252 kbps ang speed mo nakaka baliw ang balita ko mas malaki daw ang dl space na binibigay ng globe?? and maganda ba ang performance here sa makati?? meron din bang signal sa San Pedro laguna since every weekend nandun ako please enlighten me with this thanks thanks!!
kung lahat na lang ng kinabitan nila na hindi satisfied magpapadisconnect, paano yung binayaran mo na connection fee at advanced payment, di parang ninanakaw lang ng ganid na globe ung pera namin, e di benta na lang sila ng benta para sa connection fee at advnced payment at wag magbigay ng good service para lahat magpadisconnect, dapat panagutin ang mga suwapang na yan, pinag hihirapan natin ang ibinabayad natin sa kanila we deserve the best,

ipa DC nyu nlng kasi, switch nlng kau sa ibang ISP.,
expect nyo kasi lagi na may bagong medium/service sila, may mga problems na hindi lumilitaw, so mga in middle, lalabas un at kayo rin ang mapeperwisyo. mas ok pa DSL dhil ayun subok na, alam na ung mga nagiging problem kaya na resolve na.
Parang tama nga kayo sa una lang magaling ang Globe Wimax nayan, before I’m using PLDT MyDSL sarap sa downloading as in wala ako ma-say sa service nila, then nakita ko yang Globe Wimax ni try ko baka kako mas mabilis pa ito sa PLDT MyDSL, nung 200kbps ok na sakin yun then next week nag 1mbps tapos ngayon Grabe mas better pa ang Dial-up kainis simpleng blog di ako makabukas gapang!
It “SUCKS” 3 WEEKS OK PA ANG SIGNAL THEN AFTER YOU PAY YOUR 1ST MONTHLY BILL DOON KA NA MAG START NG PROBLEMA…1 MBPS 3 WEEKS THEN 3MBPS ANG I ALLOCATE SAYO… TAMA SILA GINAGATASAN LNG TAYO NG GLOBE..
una lng yan maganda. after a few months, i-limit nila by 30% or 50% ang bandwidth mo. my plan is 1mbps and i’m only getting from 200-500kbps. am paying for the plan 1mbps and not .3mbps or .5mbps GLOBE!! shitty service!!! they’re just milking us. offering a service which is not something they can fully offer to you. they entice us with those great promos and ads.
i hope there are others networks who can offer the filipinos with good internet services.
Pwd ba magtanong?? dati kac nagpakabit aq ng plan 795… ok ang speed nia amblis ng DL.. sa torrent download kac dati ndi manlang aq nkakaabot ng 100kBps sa downspeed ng torrent pero nung nagpapalit aq, mas mataas.. almost 150 k-200kBps sa downspeed ng torrent..nung nagtry aq magspeed test, mtaas naman ang result… di q lang matandaan… pero nagpapalit ulit aq ng mas “bago” daw na modem.. (dati kac ung white na square na maliit modem q) ung bago daw nila e ung parang basong nakabaliktad.. ung malaki.. pero mas bumagal connection q, halos kalahati lang ng speed nung dating modem q.. T_T
ganun pala dapat di muna ninyo ibinenta ang wimax sa area na wala pang matinong connection, perhuwisyo lang binigay nyo sa mga tao, puru kaswapangan lang ang alam ng GLOBE
may area kc na wala pang site ang wimax ng globe.. pero d2 sa manila area ok na ang wimax d2 malakas. kya ung mga gustong komuha ng wimax free installation kme ngaun.. kabit agad..
plan 512kbps 795 data only
plan 1mbps 995 data only
call or txt 092787*****..doy
Putik ang globe wimax ko dito sa imus cavite. maganda lang talaga sa umpisa, ngayon lagi ng drop yung connection. lagi ko monitor yung connection thru ping. mas marami pag ang request time out at connection unreachable kaysa reply. kaya wag na kayo mag globe, try niyo other provider. basta ako i will not pay na my globe, bahala na sila disconnect line ko.
795 lang ang bayad , kung papalitan na lang at valid naman ang claim mo na hindi maayos ang wimax bat ka pa magbabayad ng installation fee e nagbayad ka na dati, kung may lap top ka directa na sa modem pati psp. sa kin kasi ung wimax hindi talaga uubra matagal na 2 days na ok tapos wala na naman
mr adorfranco, katulad din po ba ng Wimax yung 3g na monthly bayad, may plan 795 din ba yan?? saka may bayad po ba installation nyan??
saka ibig sabihin po na hndi na kelangan ng wifi router..? yung modem nya may wifi na??
mas eliable ang 3g ng globe mura pa, kapapalit ko lang kahapon from wimax, wala talaga wimax ginago lang ako ng globe. since december matagal na ung 3 days na connected ka tapos tatawag ka na naman . buti pa itong 3g mabilis pa mag reboot ang modem, , mr virus mg pa migrate ka na lang sa 3g wi fi ready pa ang modem ng 3g,
yuga anu ibig sabihin ng pangyayaring 512 speed nya den after 3weeks ala na nasa up to 256 nlng sya bakit ganun… sabi ng globe kelangan dw ng exeternal antenna eh nasa 80% pataas naman signal namin.. pls advice naman po..
ayun na!!! 4days ko ng napansin nagbabuffer ng madalas sa youtube na hndi naman dating ganun… hanep lumabas na rin tunay na kulay ng wimax hahahaha….
dito sa may sta. mesa area, walang problema ang speed, buong buong 1 mbps ang nakukuha naming speed,nakaconnect man ang antenna o hindi.:) Globe Wimax is very reliable!
I have Wi-tribe wimax service & it is really good… wag ka lang umabot sa cap nya hehehe… pro at least pag ka abot mo sa cap nya d naman cya gumagapang like other networks na ayaw aminin na may cap cla…
I got the 1mbps plan, now nasa 256 nalang ako kasi lumabgpas nako sa 2nd cap hehehe, pro ok pa din
I had the same problem as yours and I confirmed na hindi nyo talaga maasahan ang technical support ng globe. I just want to share yong ginawa ko to speed-up my connection, http://www.jcmiras.net/surge/p239.htm. I hope Yuga wont tag this as a spam.
managers na mismo ng mga technicians ang nagpunta kahapon dito sa akin, kagabi lang umabot ng 1mbps ang speed NG WiMAX , pwede kung gagawin nila but still very unstable ngayon lang 0.30 na naman ang speed or should we say ang bagal nya,, tsaka dapat 6 months ka munang magcocomplain to be heard,
biro mo after six months ng intermittent connections kahapon lang nalaman na hindi pala naka configure ang unit ko into 1mbps, i was paying the 1mbps price for six months of their 0.512 intermittent connections ,
very irresponsible company,
worst ang customer service officer nila sa sm san fernando suplada, siya pa ang naninigaw sa kin nung nagcocomplain ako nung june 8 2010.
PINAGHIHIRAPAN NATIN ANG PERANG IBINABAYAD NATIN SA KANILA I THINK WE DESERVE THE MOST OUT OF IT!
Nueva Ecija location ko…
Kaso hndi pa yata commercial sa tv tong WIMAX ng globe???
Ayos sakin ang globe Wimax 512 plan ko, pero pag sinukat ko sa speedtest.net umaabot sya ng 0.83mbps diba astig……
amf ang globe wiimax. pti ung dns nag eerror. nung dsl kme nde nmn gnun. haaays kakaasar sya kasi hnde stable ang conection nila. kaya apektado lahat. kahit ung mga mmorpg ko dto afected kasi nag ddc pa kahit ung garena. sna gawing stable ang conection para di nag ddc o kaya iimprove ung signal site nila.
magsisisi lang kayo sa globe wimax the system dont work . globe is horrible kahapon nandito sa min ung technicians nila sabi wala na raw silang magagawa sa connection ko since globe is not doing anything about it ; every other day complain ako ng complain sa services nila (211) since december ginagawa daw pero hanggang ngayon ganun pa rin, pra bang sinasabi sige magcomplain ka , MAGBABAYAD KARIN NAMAN! SOBRA KASUAPANGAN!
globe wimax dont work here in pampanga its frustrating , the actual download speed if you are lucky enough to get their very rare connection is only up to .50mbps but that is very seldom. all you get is request timed out and destination unreachable in the latency test. i hope globe should consider in giving the most of our hard earned money . and not only their profit,
ask lang for suggestion which broadband can i avail for stronger and stable signal my location is carmona cavite here in barangay maduya ive tried smart so weak!
sayang dapat nag globe wimax nalang aq
kesa wi-tribe
mas maganda to kesa sa wi-tribe
wlang capping.
Sofar, in
Talisay City, Cebu, wala pa na man akong naeexperience na problema sa Wimax ko. Hindi na man bumababa sa 450Mbps yung speed… So I therefore Im getting what im paying to Globe..
satisfied ako sa globe wimax ko, hindi sya bumababa ng 1Mbps ang download speed, same din sa torrent. nag pakabit pa ako ng antenna kc mababa ang signal samin ng wimax…
DO NOT TRY ANYMORE! kagaguhan lang advertisement ng globe, tried that fucking wimax sa una lang MAHUSAY, AFTER SEVERAL CALLS SA PESTENG GLOBE CUSTOMER SERVICE, ALL THEY SAY EH MAINTENANCE DAW SILA…. FOR 1 MONTH GANUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m dumping this piece of crap and i’m gonna try something else. sa inyo, wag nyo na itry!!!!!!!1

lol meron 8 frequencies ang network nila for wimax kda lugar, so hindi lhat ng traffic ay under ng isang base station.
Ayan naman pala eh 8 MBPS ang uncapped speed ng Wimax, eh di pinatunayan lang nila na ang total bandwidth na naka-allocate para sa Greenhills, San Juan ay around 8 MBPS or 10 MBPS at most! Isipin nyo na lang na merong 100 users ng Globe Wimax dyan sa Greenhills at sabay-sabay na nagdownload, eh di tig-80 KBPS na lang siguro sila, roughly the same speed as a dial up modem.
Kung magpoprovide sana ang globe ng ganitong service, siguraduhin nilang sufficient ang bandwidth na iaallocate nila per area, at least mga 50 MBPS man lang para kayanin ang maraming subscribers.
we have a wimax plan. it was slow at first on the 1st 2 weeks. then i think i reported it to globe and suddennly bumilis. pero the last few days bumagal ng sobrang bagal at nagkaka DNS Error pa kame. Check na namin lahat ng settings ng computer.Ganun pa ren. Tumawag ako sa Globe kanina, meron daw connection problem yata sa buong Luzon, at inaayos pa daw. Hays! Nakakainis kasi it severely affected my online jobs. Sana maayos na.

kakakabit lang samin ng Globe Wimax, tingin ko naman ok siya compared dun sa current provider namin na as in super slow, but with the same price as dun sa globbe wimx. HOwever , 1/2 lang ung nakukuha naming bandwidth 512 kbps lang. nung una nga kala ko mabagal. Konting ayos lang ung antenna niya habang may nagoobserve dun sa signal strength,. hanggang maging 100% sya., kelangan kasi sa antenna ay nakatutok mismo dun sa cell site ng globe, sabi nung nagkabit na technician.
Subscriber of Globe Wi-max..Mine’s ok at first 3 weeks.. i get 1.02mbps on the speedtest but 3 days ago until now i only get half of it.. why? does this mean globe is capping my speed? it’s unfair.
d2 sa pulilan bulacan problema lang bigay ng globe lagi ddc inet.wala kwenta.
I have my wimax test kit from witribe, actually i borrowed the test kit from a friend who is a witribe agent. So far, it has proven na worth a try itong offer nila. By the way, i’m in bulacan. I got at least 2 bars of signal strength. He said, once the base station near us is completed, the bar strength will be at full capacity. He also said na they want feedback from customers like us. Para mapagusapan raw nila from the higher up yun concerns ng mga users. By the way, they are implementing a 3 GB cap/month, once you hit that cap, it automatically throttles down to 512 kbps. offpeak naman daw from 1 to 7 am, you got the 1 mbps you paid for. They said its for the good of the ‘masa’ which means yung nakakarami. I said, my concern is pano kung heavy user ka, they said, its the one thing their going to discuss with the higher up. Siguro, if your willing to pay the PESOSES to get the broadband you like, you get what you paid for, right? They said right. Kaya, kung wala kang pera, tiyaga ka sa mabagal. Ganun lang siguro yun.
For now that 4G is not yet available…I’ll stick with my openline Huawei E1550 prepaid
Area: Zabarte Rd., Caloocan City
Ranking the three telcos:
#1: Sun Broadband Wireless
5 bars signal; reaching 1.68mbps (12mn)
200-600kbps (10am-6pm)
Problem: 6pm to 12mn (0.00 to 11kbps) sucks!
As of this time: 78kbps
Naka-20x report na yata ako sa hotline but still no improvement pag gabi…dami sigurong gumagamit
Tipid: 50php/1 day unlimited or 25php for 3 hrs. (i25 package)
#2: SmartBro Prepaid
1 to 2 bars (Morning)
Deadspot at night (I have no idea what causes this thing)
Speed: 100kbps-400kbps
Mahal 10php for 30 minutes (may per minute prepaid plan na sila ngayon)
#3 Globe Broadband Prepaid
Walang signal…sumusulpot-sulpot lang then mamaya deadspot na ulet…
Mabilis ang nag-aappear sa dashboard but watching Youtube…naku maiinis ka kasi lag lagi
Mahal 5php/15 minutes
Sun is the 3.5G winner…
Hoping for a better telco to offer broadband services…
Sana makapagroll-out agad ang Globe at Liberty Telecom ng WIMAX…
naka wimax ako plan ko 1mb pero ang speed lng skin half lng ng 1mb.. bkit ganun? pero ung sa kaibigan parehas kami plan pero 1mb sknya.. gara nga eh..
sucks! yeah my friend has 4g already. sana nagwait muna ako. badtrip
Hi to all!!!
Just wait for the upcomming if the real broadband is… The real 4G technology…
Thanks
jack
correction to some: WIMAX is 4G.. There’s two competing technology for 4G today.. which is WIMAX n LTE ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GPP_long_term_evolution
btw.. Smart LTE recent test is not “officially 4G” yet. they called it 3.9G coz it doesn’t meet the 4G LTE stndard yet.. maybe by the time they implement it soon, it will be officially 4G.
the question arise is why Globe WIMAX is so unreliable?? Are their equipment is “wimax certified”??? my opinion is they hastily installed the Wimax towers too few and causes customer saturation as usual with too small capacities….this could be the reason why they capped the speed at pathetic 1mpbs..
I think this question goes back also to 3G/3.5G HSDPA.. —->>> why Globe, Smart, Suncell 3G/3.5G unreliable??? Answer is saturated customer with not enough bandwidth capacities. I noticed that this unreliablity is only happening here in the Philippines (don’t know about other 3rd world countries) when compared to other Western Countries…
now what we consumers should ask with these fat 3 companies are 80/80 Quality of Service. Meaning getting 80% of published speed at 80% of the time. ie. 80% of 2.0 is 1.6mbps.. our speed should be atleast 80% of that speed all the time continously when we needed it..
hope this help…
Yurs Truly
Bong2
show-off lang ‘to..parang pina-narrow lang yung coverage ng BTS para mas mabilis yung throughput, tapos QC server pa ginamit?!
If globe doesnt improve, it will be overrrun by smart LTE
AFAIK LTE/3.9g is more attractive to telcos because of commnality in the hardware. So its easy to do a minor upgrade to a cellsite so it becomes LTE/3.9g.
Here in Alabang, It’s terrible!
Yung 3G signal nga ng globe sa amin sa malanday, valenzuela, kpag nsa labas ng bahay may signal, pagpasok sa loob nwawala ang signal, kaya hindi p din reliable. Mas lalo siguro ang signal ng WiMax nila. Kailan kaya ilalabas ang San Miguel Wimax??? Nagkaron na cla ng trial sa ortigas, dito ko din nabasa yun, pero kailan kaya yun availability nya pra sa lahat? Sana meron din sa valenzuela yun.
I have a 1mpbs connection. very good internet connection. laguna ako
Although mataas ang connection speed ng wireless, hindi yan stable unlike sa mga wired options. If you are considering a broadband connection and a wired option is available sa area nyo mas ok pa din yun kesa wireless.
Another thing to consider is that wireless connections have high latency values.
That’s right WIMAX is not 4G. Supposedly WIMAX should dominate as far as “last mile” is concerned over 3G/HSDPA and DSL. Perhaps, Globe still not rolling-out enough infrastructure because it’s still new technology and still uncertain whether it is future proof technology considering 4G technology is on the horizon. Actually, 4G is available in some U.S. states.
hindi stable ung connection nia. lalo pag gabe, maasar ka lang. minsan naman mabilis… kaasar lang, kahit full bar ang access ko bagal ng bandwith…
dito nga sa balayan batangas, di makaabot yang wimax na yan. may 3g nga dito, unreliable naman, maddc ka lagi. may globelines broadband nga pero wala namang available na port para makabitan. 3 years nang walang available port dito sa amin, poblacion pa po ito.
@RJ I just want to make it clear that the Customer Rep gave the wrong info, not you. peace
Well whether it is tested or theoretical, capped or uncapped, Wimax right now is unrealiable here in Cebu. Besides, the fact that Speedtest.net can give that numbers does not mean that it will 8 Mbps EVERYTIME.
@RJ Wimax is not 4G. It is the same as what Smart did when they labeled their Fixed wireless internet Smart Wifi.In fact Wimax would be closer to Wifi than 3G.
In the end its like Globe is using a tool they hated a few moon cycles ago just because it makes them look good. If the numbers are so reliable why don’t they use the same test they use to counter Smart’s claim?
@Andrew: according to what I gather from the rep in the nearest Globe center, WiMax is different because it is 4G. So I think it is much better compared to 3G.
Called them a few months back and they said “stop selling” daw ang status ng wimax. Dont know the reason why they advertise and say its not available. According to their ad, Carmona is included in their servicable areas.
sobrang bagal nyan dito sa bulacan.
This sucks!!!!!
Is wimax available in Meycauayan, Bulacan?
lagi naman nila sinasabi na nation widest coverage pero until now di pa din kami naabot ng signal dito sa indang, cavite. naku naman!
@Abe Well, that’s true. But the general context is just a tad bit too humorous and ironic to escape the discerning eye ;)
@Nonoy see Smart v. Globe dispute over speed claims ;)
Sana may ganito samin.
Sir Yuga, what are the advantages of WIMAX over 3G/HSDPA? Is it more practical? what about the WIMAX Converage? Thanks for great topics always.
^
remember the smart bro commercial?
Why, whats wrong with speedtest.net?
@noelperlas @neis
Php795 for 512Kbps
Php995 for 1Mbps
Php1,295 for 1Mbps + Landline
how much the wimax plans of globe?
@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.
@JM
Yeah. Took a giggle when I saw that speedtest was used.
How much is the 1mbps?
OLATS to! palagi kami wla net, kung meron man ma-ddc k lagi
Funny they used speedtest.net to measure the speed. :P
Uncapped?? Paanu yun?? May resource link ba kayo jan para mag-uncap?? I’m using Globe WiMax 1Mbps. So far wala nman akong problem.. pero mas maganda sana kung ma-uncap ko yung speed ko. :)
is it available here in nueva ecija sir yuga?
