Paynefanbro Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I for one have recieved speeds of 16mbps by my home. Robert explained it as the tower that I was connected to probably had few people on it along with AAV backhaul. That was the highest ever. Before I got my new EVO though, on average I would get anywhere from 10 to 13 Mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I pulled 12megs down at LaGuardia aiport about 2 years ago using my og evo at the time and right before I sold my evo 3d I pulled 12megs down right here in atlanta. For the most part though my experience with wimax was pretty decent. I averaged about 6 to 10 megs where ever I actually got a signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT516 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 When I could find a signal in RI about 6-10 was the norm depending on time of day. When I'm down in Hollywood FL the average is 3-4Mbps at the condo which isn't bad considering I get a decent signal inside the unit and it's one of those older 12" thick cement type structures.

rayluis1988 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I used to have a wimax phone and always got between 8 and 10 mbps here in Los Angeles and now my aunt still have a wimax device and its getting close to 14 maybe because the number of wimax users is less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansltx Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I have seen 17 Mbps in Austin, via a home modem set up in a car on a tower that pretty much only served a section of 360. With perfect signal. Normal speeds are half to two-thirds of that, but it's fun seeing WiMAX go faster than CricKet LTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 How about 100 mph? No, the max speed limit here is 75 mph. Any higher would be unauthorized speeding, a violation of the Ts and Cs. AJ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 He didn't necessarily reach that speed in a car. Well, then, he must be wearing Superman tights because supposedly WiMAX 2600 cannot penetrate even a wet paper bag. AJ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irev210 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 When wimax was first released, I signed up for clear with an at home wimax modem. I had probably the best signal possible (-30dbm or so, if I recall correctly). I tested the max stream (multiple connections) at 16mbit in Boston. I never saw anything higher. Some people reported higher speeds elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahal Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Luckily I get a great WiMax signal at home even though my area is just a WiMax protection site. Even indoors I pull about 8-10 mbps which is great for a backup Internet source if my Comcast goes out like it frequently does. Sent from my rooted LTEVO running CM10.
