USMC-Retired 10,995 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I would assume it is 1Mb also. I have 2Mb up and down. Works ok Link to post Share on other sites
Cebudog 977 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Globe Wimax and 4.3 mbps fairly consistently except yesterday. : ) Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfpack 2,166 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) OP, your connection must be 1.0 Mb/s not 10.0 as you stated. Check your bill. when I look at "Local Area Connection"...in my PC...it says my connection is 10.0 Mbps Edited July 29, 2013 by Mr. Wonderful Link to post Share on other sites
JasonEcos 263 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 when I look at "Local Area Connection"...in my PC...it says my connection is 10.0 Mbps Mine says 100mbps. But when I do a speed test I am currently getting 1.1mbps. The figure stated in the connection menu isn't the actual speed. Try speedtest.net its free and takes 30seconds.

enoonmai 675 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 when I look at "Local Area Connection"...in my PC...it says my connection is 10.0 Mbps You're looking at the speed of your network card, you need to look at your bill or call smart to determine what your internet speed should be.

USMC-Retired 10,995 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Mr wondetful look at this, Pretend your computer is a Ferrari and the cable into your computer are the streets of Cebu City. Your shiney new car can go 225mph yet the streets just won't allow it. There you go. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

USMC-Retired 10,995 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Well that even goes more to the analogy. As the streets advertise 60kmh you can never reach that speed. That is unless its 3am. The congestion is always to great. Link to post Share on other sites
miles-high 3,917 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Let’s figure this out… PLDT owns Globe, Smart and Sun… Many locations they share antennas… At those higher frequencies, the beams are very directional and fan-shaped… Eash ISP “tunes” their antenna directions, fan-shapes and tilt angles to suit their customer bases and demands… Keep their high-rollers satisfied, so to speak… So, what can you do? Move your house but it’s not easy to find where those beams are concentrated… Besides, you don’t really want to be too close to their high-intensity radio field, not to mention it's expensive to move your house, room, etc… Move YOUR antenna? Could be simple enough but you may end up staying in your CR… You could buy a G3, G4, LTE booster (some are very expensive) but the signal strength or S/N is just one of the factors affecting your speed… So, I would say you should get a medium speed wired Internet if you could and add a WiFi to a load balancing router (or a computer which takes both wired and WiFi) for the most cost-effective solution… Edited July 29, 2013 by miles-high Link to post Share on other sites
Davaoeno 37,515 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 PLDT owns Globe well that will be a big surprise to Globe !! Especially since the single biggest common shareholder of Globe is Singapore Telecom Link to post Share on other sites
