MANILA, Philippines--Months since it announced deployment of a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) service, Ayala-owned Globe Telecom finally announced the commercial availability of its own service this month.
Globe Telecom said WiMAX would complement existing DSL and 3G services being offered under its broadband services.
The enhanced wireless broadband service would be available in South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, Globe said in a statement.
WiMAX uses the 802.16 standard developed by the WiMAX Forum. Currently, it has a maximum bandwidth speed of up to 70 megabits per second, providing bigger bandwidth for data-hungry applications like streaming video.
Globe said that subscribers would get a maximum bandwidth of up to 512 kilobits per second at P795 per month under its WiMAX-powered Globe Broadband service.
“We challenge anyone with a competitive wireless subscription to try out our WiMAX-backed plans. We are so confident with our service that we challenge you try out our connection, risk-free. Should you be unhappy with the connection within one month from installation, we’ll give you your money-back, no questions asked,” according to Globe Telecom Consumer Broadband Business Group Head Menchi Orlina.

I also researched on this globe wimax + called globe, problem is limited pa yung area availability ng wimax ng globe hindi pa available sa taytay rizal.

sayang kasi the speed of globe's wimax 1mbps is far better than the smartbro 384kbs for the same monthly rate 995php and hindi na siya device na tinututok sa cellsite na kapag na block wala ka nang signal, it's an indoor device.

Availed the wimax here in taytay rizal, The service is very very bad here in rizal. Hindi ma meet yung 1mbps and the uttorent download speed is very slow sobrang dissapointed ako.

1mbps yung plan ko and around 100+kbps dapat ang download speed sa ******* and currently it's just 20kbps average naka cap pa din ang ******* download ng globe which is ridiculous since doon mo lang masusulit yung internet connection mo, buti pa smart walang cap sa ******* speed.

Ipapa cancel na namin yung globe wimax connections namin though susulitin lang namin yung 1 month kasi meron silang promo na kung hindi maganda service pwede mo pa cancel within the month without the charge.

update naman kung ok na ang Globe Wimax. nakita ko sa ibang site...meron limit monthly ang pwede mong i donwload sa P2P.

[testament11]

globe wimax user here. kelan ko lang siya pinakabit. ang masasabi ko lang, erratic last week kasi sa gabi, walang signal. pag madaling araw hanggang umaga. meron naman.

about downloading speed, pumapalo ng 140Kbps max sa direct donwloads at sa *******, highest ko is around 130Kbps.

regarding sa section na yan ng contract, masasabi ko lang eh parang ok lang sa akin ang 25 gigs na download via p2p. eh hindi naman ako madalas magdownload ng malalaki, so ok lang yan
