Nawras WiMax speed

[mrjunaidali]

HI Friends,

just a quick question.

is Nawrus WiMax is committed to speed. I am planning to to get 5Mbps connection. let me know if we really get good speed.

Thanks

Wimax technology dependent on signals from base station so speed is not commited

like if it is in Green Zone??

I have wiimax, in my area I could only get the 3mb package. On torrents I get speeds up to 300k. Lag is still there, not so perfect for online gaming.

is ur area fall in green zone? so its good for web surfing? no gaming no torrents no download. I need fast web surfing to open website which is our web application at good speed...

[Scorpion419]

Oh ya, its more than sufficient for web surfing. I do live in the "green zone" but if I remember correctly there is a dark green and a light green, don't remember which one is better but I live in the zone that is 2nd best.

does'nt matter

junaid this medium is an alternative for where yuo are not able to use wired service . And if you still say wimax will give you 100 % satisfied speed why nawras and ISP's dont use it on their end to get connected with upstream provider ..

we subscribed to Nawras 5Mbps package as it is available here in our place at Rustaq, at first it was fast and then after 3weeks it gets slower and now I heard that they are limiting the usage to 100Mb. how sad, we have to go back to were we purchase our Nawras Wimax.

Soon they will bring out a wifi extender to boost signals, it links to your current modem. Also, the website lists a different kind of modem that looks like an upgrade from wimax.

I haven't seen it yet, but it will be a plug that goes into the wall alongside the modem


Ah, I was away for the weekend and missed this: http://nawras.om/about_nawras_media_...pr_12_31.shtml

I use Nawras WiMAX under the dark green zone. I use the 5mbps connection, and it's awesome. Weather-proof.
The maximum speed I've got outta it is around 600 KB/s

100mb? No way! I use it! It's unlimited... but with fair usage policy

[Nhoj Mak]

yep it is, coz my friend went to Nawras at Lulu Barka, and tried to complain about the slow speed of their wimax, the customer rep told them that the unlimited acces has been stopped and it is the 100Mb/month. just try to got to your nearest Nawras Store and check it out.

Maybe for new customers. Speed limits/download limits are same for existing customers/subscribers :P

That makes absolutely no sense. Either you/your friend misunderstood or the rep that mentioned this hasn't a clue what he/she is talking about. You cannot possibly have a 100mb cap on a broadband connection. That broadband connection can eat 100mb in a couple of minutes.

I clear out 400mb of temp files in 2 days. 100mb a month is impossible.

i'm sorry my mistake it's 100Gb/month max. usage.
