Fastest Speeds Ever Seen on WiMax

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have seen WiMAX at 75 mph. Does that count?

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.

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.

This would be a great article.

Signal Propagation: WiMAX vs. the wet-paper bag(pt. 1) :tu:

From my experience increasing wetness increases penetration.

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...

Whats AAV backhaul and how will i know if my area has clear AAV backhaul

Alternative access vendors (AAVs) such as cable MSOs, CLECs, pure-play backhaul providers and even utilities.

 

...or, as I like to think of it, AAV is (in my best Transylvanian accent) "Almost Anybody Vut" the Baby Bells.

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.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
