Re: lol
said by whiteyonenh  :said by ydoucare :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 I'd be ok with those speeds, although I know it's just a typo, would sure give the other services a run for their money if it were true. 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. |

Valencia, CA | 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.
