imagine u have a big ass tap in your house (30cm in diameter) but if the pipeline connecting your house to the water company is only half inch indiameter, do you expect water to be gushing through your big ass 30cm dia. tap? it will only trickle.
yes the wimax protocol and specification indeed can go up to speeds of 30Mbps. but it is only from the base transmission station (BTS) to the user.
if the link or pipeline from the BTS to its hubsite or mothership is small do not ever imagine for it to hit speeds of 30Mbps.
as for mr stringfellow case, i bet the link from the indoor BTS to P1 hub is super duper large to get 8Mbps real time.
bugs P1 to increase their link capacity and then only you can see 30Mbps my frens.
but i still have to congrutulate P1 for such a fast roll out. do u know technical works for BTS only started in late 2007 and they launched in the middle of 2008? since then i already know that their best speed was going to be in the range of 1Mbps to 3Mbps.
i'm not from p1, but i'm just a lowly contractor doing all the low end job way back in 2007 for them.
