We've just swapped from Wimax online to Aplinfo because as you'll find, internet providers will say "up to", which is about as vague as anyone can get.
Partner has become very dissolusioned with Wimax especially over the last 3 months or so whereby download speeds have rarely exceeded 15 and upload speeds rarely gone over .9 this in spite of her paying for 30 mbs !! Suffering buffering, blocking, loss of picture etc....

A recent 5 hour phone call had all kinds of "leave it with me and I'll get back with you promises" which in the main never happened, various people sharing partners service picture and assuring her that where they were there were no problems at all lol.
The first responder gives good if expensive advice, as I'm sure you'll get others, check out if you can get a minimum monthly contract vs a fixed 12 or even 18 month contract, check out if possible neighbours and friends as to who theyre with and what they pay for what they get and most of all how reliable the set up is.
Finally cancel your BBC payments, you can get tons of programming here with IPTV boxes, mag boxes, even Amazon firestick, sky sports everything once youve bought whichever box app or add-on, theres nowt to pay on top.
Hi, many thanks for taking the trouble to give me the benefit of your experience, but unfortunately I had received a recommendation for Wimax and signed up with them a couple of weeks ago or so, yes I am having buffering and other issues so it is a bit of a learning curve. However, we are supposed to be getting fibre optic so I will put up with less than best service until I can sign up to that possibly next year. Again thanks for your help, Polly
