Fastest Speeds Ever Seen on WiMax

Wow. I've never exceeded 16Mbps on WiMax. That is admirable.

Wowzers. I've never even seen over 4Mbps on my Clear hotspot.

I've never seen over 10.5Mbps on my EVO Shift.

Damn, never gotten higher than 8.

[nahum365]

Just pulled a nice 13.50 down and 3.76 up a Clear Voyager. Believe it or not, better then the 9.34 down and 1.47 up on my current Sprint LTE connection. Not bad. Ping is a bit high though- 80ms compared to 42 on LTE.

Wow...never could pull that with my Voyager when I had it, even though I had perfect signal with low load. Maybe Clear has throttled such devices in the past and is now removing those caps? I had no problem getting 12-plus Mbps with the Clear Hub in the same location.

It was plugged in via USB.

What is the max theoretical output of Sprint's Wimax? I thought I read somewhere that it was 18.5mbps with 10mhz channel but that obviously isn't true.

[lilotimz]

37/17 on 10mhz channels iirc. Problem is Clearwire never had the requisite backhaul for those kind of speeds and we've only been getting faster speeds because CW is prepping sites for TDD-LTE alongside decreases in wimax users.

I have plugged in the Voyager via USB and didn't get any higher speeds than on WiFi. Then again, maybe the Mac drivers are poorer than the Windows one?

So relatively close to the same as LTE? 10mhz is the same as 5x5?

I was actually using a Samsung Ultrabook. It wasn't mine, but the hotspot was.

20mhz TDD has the same total bandwidth as 10x10 FDD however that 20mhz can be divided up asymetrically with varying downlink and uplink bandwidths like 15 x 5 mhz (adds up to 20).

Not exactly. TDD stands for Time Division Duplex. The division between uplink and downlink is in time, not frequency. The entire carrier bandwidth is devoted to uplink, then downlink on an alternating basis.

I assume there is some limit on how much time can be allocated to a single pathway? As in only 90% of the time can ever be diverted to downlink to keep checking if traffic has become available for uplink? Am I way off on that one?

Yeah, the TDD allocation can be changed, though that is a configuration at the network level, as all TDD devices need to maintain a fairly precise synchronization to avoid transmitting while other TDD devices are receiving (and vice versa). If I recall correctly, the default TDD allocation that I have seen for WiMAX is roughly 40/60, uplink/downlink, not taking into the account the guard periods that must be inserted at each link transition.

I got 15 mbps in Atlanta.

 

Same in Honolulu. 15MB down was fastest I seen here

Fastest ive ever seen on my Evo 3D in Pittsburgh, PA was roughly 6-10 Mbps down

[MophoManners]

 

 

Otherwise 21-22 x1.5 mbps every day.. Those where the days...

HOW? Where?!

[MophoManners]

By running a speed test, in Minneapolis

Is this even possible? I read earlier that the max down speed for wimax is under 40.
