I just noticed a funny typo on the Xohm site at: »www.xohm.com/xohm_learn_technology.html
"WiMAX technology will deliver true high speed broadband. With expected speeds of 2-4 megabytes per second for downloads and 1-3 megabytes per second for uploads" Typo in bold. lol |

San Gabriel, CA | 1.5mbps would be nice.
that's about as fast of DSL I can get. (11.5K ft. from CO)
with overhead it's like 1.25mbps (~150 KB/sec) |

What was meant by this was that if it were megabytes per second, we would be seeing 16mbps download and 8mbps upload. Although this is a major typo on Sprint/Xohm's part, and should be fixed. I would be immensely happy with the speeds if I could get them over WiMAX |

While it is indeed a typo, 8-15Mbps on WiMAX is technically possible, but Sprint won't be building the infrastructure for it (at first). There is an 802.16m WiMAX spec in the works that will theoretically go to 1Gbps. We won't see that but it might be used for backhaul down the road. |

People, the truth is out, or you all have been blind by the PR. NO TECHNOLOGY ever operates at advertised speed. The 70Mbps they claim, well, thats if there is 1 and only 1 user on the tower using the entire pool of bandwidth. The only place thats happening is in a lab room or convention hall. |

You should be able to get 3Mbps at that range if you have a decent signal. I'm on 3008/512kbps and I'm at 12,000' from the CO. I'm hitting ~2.5Mbps.

I agree... even the advertised speed is typically the physical data rate. Eg. How many people with 100Mbps ethernet actually obtain 100Mbps throughput. Answer: NONE.

Who is debating you on this? I don't understand who you are trying to point this towards. |
