Ah, thats why they pay me the good money ;)

Hehe :)

Was just interested to know, have done quite a bit of work on Wimax throughout Africa and we often run into partners over subscribing their base stations.

To start with we are using 2.5 TDD which is more efficient than 3.5 FDD Wimax. On a 3.5 Mhz channel you can actually only use 8 Meg per sector and not 13 Meg.

You have also ignored a contention ratio, which you have to establish from practical experience, which does not affect your clients performance. Note my post says "not overcontend"

Telkom for instance use a contention ratio of 32:1.
Before I continue I would be interested in hearing what contention ration you use on your network as well as a reply to Slivers post above....

This thread got side tracked to Technical Avenue very quickly :) Not that I understand half of the technical terms mention here, but contention ratio is important. You mentioned Telkom uses 32:1 - care to share Screamer's typical contention ratio? Or am I taking a chance...

Quite possibly both. Last night it ran like a dream. Having some trouble tonight though.

I seemed to get hit at the spawnpoint a lot last night, isn't that illegal?:D

Yeah shame dude, there are some people in the game who only rape the spawns.
Its like they head to a flag and dont even try to cap it, they just rape the spawners.

It will get better, just remeber to squad up whenever you can, that normally helps a bit. If you see me on then join my squad and we can run around and shoot stuff!

Well you can believe it.

I had lots of s#%$t at the start but since then its been smooth sailing all the way. I do sometimes get problems but usually thats solved without me even calling to report the problem.

I am connecting using a mikrotik and a 27db antenna. I am about 10Km away from the tower.:D
