Just wanted to update about how i felt for wimax
Worst Case Scenario taken from pingtest.net
This is the best i ever got from it
Notice the difference
The Line is bad when tested to KL
however when i did a test metro manila.. the line quality is even better!
*figures*
Anyway here's the pro's and con's of what i can summarize from the one day trial period
Pro's:
1.Surfing is great just for websites
2.Major Sites are easily accessible faster in terms of speed and loading (e.g. cnn.com, malaysianinsider, and so on
Con's:
1. Heavy Media sites are a no-no for wimax. (Sites like youtube, flickr, facebook) they're slow loading
2. Did a test on youtube took like 30Sec to load a Wang lee Hom 480 resolution video on youtube. and a 45 sec for lady gaga paparazi 480 resolution. Decided to try 720p trailer . Time recorded was 1 min 40 sec for it to load. (*all this time was taken when the play button was clicked)
3. it took 5 minutes to load 2 images of 300+kb in size to blogger. That's How bad it was in terms of uploading.Flickr was horrendous. 1 image took forever. i gave up! i switched to streamyx, uploaded the pic in about 5 sec. Ditto
4. Tried Downloading files off rapidshare. I didn't not expect this but in this instance where
my download was timed out twice where i had to manually re download . Trust me it ain't fun
The Best case scenario to KL
The Worst case scenario to Manila
The Speedtest.net that was done in the morning for Streamyx.
So anyway this just a personal opinion of mine
There is the factor which decided the outcome of these
1. My area of population could be highly concentrated in wimax
2.Ruled out Line Coverage Issue
I doubt i had any line of Sight Issues as wimax mention that the communication tower is just across the field and i got a full green bar always!
3. i'm pitting a wimax 199 package which is a 2.4mbps against a 1.0mbps Streamyx
4. streamyx 2-0 wimax (had tested a 1.0mbps early last year)
5. And they supposedly said they upgraded their networks. Well it doesn't seem so
Anyway i made a call back to the friendly operator
which i passed on comments that they need to do something as i do not experience a upgrade in terms of speed at all despite the upgrade of their infrastructure.
