Broadband Forum

Hi Karthik,

I have taken an apartment in Marathahalli and my PC is placed in a room with no wires for the telephone. So wired broadband seems to be out of consideration.
Do you think I can use Reliance WiMax as an alternative? Are the speeds good?

Regards

As for wimax connection you will still need to connect your PC with the Wimax device if there is a way to lay a cable between the wimax device on top of your roof and your PC inside your room i don't think there will be any problems.

Hi Fido
I think most probly, you may need a static ip for your wimax stn...you can check with Reliance guys about this...In this kind of config, a dhcp may not be an ideal scenario
anyways, what you can try out is, try assigning a static ip for your wireless wifi router lan in your laptop along the same series...192.168.1.x...and then see if you are able to browse...just a hunch

@ To All Internet Users.....
Broadband is known as Digital subscriber line (DSL).means the bandwidth is been shared between the users who are using at a same time.
People say that the browsing speed does not remain constant as they get speed in office connection.
Let me tell you something Corporate are having Dedicated line or can be said Leased line. Which gives almost accurate speed, and comes with much more higher price then broadband. The cost is something which is not affordable for Individuals or can say not for common people.
No service Provider can clam that the Broadband connection they are providing will give the full speed.
WIMAX has been launched to reduce the usage of Wire, which comes through digging Road side, hanging on walls, hanging near to the Electricity polls, and many more places which are too dangers for you as well as for your system.
About Reliance Wi Max- Reliance is the only service Provider in Bangalore, which does not have Fair usage Policy.
What ever you do, your bill will never increase.
But in terms of other service provider they follow fair usage policy. So be careful, one fine day you can have a bill which can have a amount, which you never dream of.
If you are not a Reliance Wi Max Customer, then talk to your ISP Customer-care to know the limit which is there…..
