According to my neighbor, nasa Php1200 daw ang monthly payment ng Globe but for Smart, I have to pay it for Php999 only....

So far, wala namang problem ang connection ko kanina sa bahay....

[Justin]

Ahh ok, thanks for the info ysNoi.

Welcome po siR JustiN.....

[renren]

ok din smart bro pag mag download peak hours mabagal lang din  pero try q rin pldt my dsl baka mabilis s kanila

[Thunder]

Ok naman po ISP na SmartBro pero ang problem is yong signal at yong lugar mo. Dapat malapit at malakas rin yong signal para hindi magdidisconnect yong internet connection.

[whitehat]

yahh thunder was right. tanung ko lang sang ba nangagaling ang signal ng globe broadband at smart bro? sa cell sites ba? kung ganun mas marami ang cell sites ng smart kesa sa globe kaya i think mabilis ng konti ang smart...

wireless connection: monthly service fee
Dasma, Cavite
 *globe (512kbps) - P995
 *smartbro (384kbps) - P999

sa cellsite daw sabi nung nag-iinstall (smartbro)

[yengph]

just a friendly suggestion, do not apply for smartbrokeband, i tell you it's not good, it's the worst isp that i have experienced. pldt mydsl is ok, about globebroadband wireless? well i think it is better than smart even smart has the largest number of cellsites you still get a 11.80 kbps that i am experiencing right now for about 2 weeks na, been calling their hotline but they also have the worst service also,ask help from the installers? no way, they will just waste your time from refreshing your PCs desktop...

so, before planning to apply for broadband? don't think about smart, think of other ISPs...

i tried, pldt mydsl 90% ok bayantel(quezon city) 98% ok, globe visibility 85% ok smartbrokeband 10% ok, why 10% because i still have connection but that is 7 times slower than dial up..

My plan is PLDT DSL sad to say meron dito sa amin but wala pa silang DSL... telephone lang.

Second choice is Globe Broadband but the broadband connection here is full.
may quota sila kung ilan lang ang kakabitan nila. Then I ask for Globe wireless
kasi sa 990 pesos 512Kbps ang speed compare sa smartbro na 999 pesos sa
384Kbps. but sad to say hanggang Lima Batangas pa lang ang wireless.
bakit kaya??? e may cell site naman ang globe dito sa Sto. Tomas.

So I choose Smartbro mas ok ito kesa sa modem na cellphone. One day lang ang application ko kinabit agad.
kahit isang nayon lang ang layo ng cell site sa bahay namin itinaas pa rin sa bubong ( 2 storey ang bahay namin)
para walang makaharang. hehehe.. naniguro lang ako pati sila na may magandang signal.

my ISP is Smartbro. Aminado rin ako na medyo mabagal din ang connection ko dito sa bahay.
Well, medo lang hehehe (ang gulo). Napapansin ko kapag nanonood ako ng mga videos sa
Youtube, kailangan ko pang mag-antay ng 30-60 seconds para hindi paputol putol yung
video na pinanonood ko. Kase kung mga 15-20 seconds lang ang inintay ko paputol-putol yung video
I nagba-buff yung video.

About naman sa download speed, ako naman, satisfied naman ako. Ang average download speed siguro
ay mga 38KB/s (estimated) hindi lang ako sure kung ganito nga ang speed nito O kulang pa. Depende rin kasi sa oras eh, may mga oras na pumapalo ng 55KB/s yung download speed ko.

[whitehat]

^oo nga bro.. i think mga madaling-araw mabilis ang connection.. sa kin mabagal ang connection kung mga peak days like weekends pero ayus lang naman..

bout doon sa availability ng ISP di rin naman kasi lahat ng lugar sa pilipinas e abot ng PLDT kaya umaasa na lang sa wireless broadband.. (at kung malayo-layu ka pa sa cellsite mamalasin ka)..

[malakaayo]

kung ginawa lang sana ng pldt ang kanilang tungkilin bilang telecom provider, i di sana wired na tayong lahat...

nad-discover na ang 2g, 3g, 3.5g technologies...kaso wala pa ring pldt telephone line sa lugar namin...

i am located in a small town, about 72 km from cagayan de oro city, along the highway, yet pldt did not, could not deliver its business (and franchise) mandate to connect all people...gingoog city which is more than 100km from cagayan de oro city has pldt lines...we who are located in between do not have any...

the advent of cellphone technology makes life easier for us, smalltown folks...but i really believe that pldt and smart, globe, and bayantel are all remiss in their duties in providing real communications to all filipinos...

imagine: smart broadband available only in selected towns and cities; globe visibility si available where there is a globe signal but the actual download speed is soooooo dial-up that only text-format internet contents can be done...no youtube...no iyotube gma7's bubble gang...

dapat talaga na-approve na yung National Broadban Network deal...may corruption o wala...ehh... ano bang construction projects ng pilipinas ang walang corruption?
farm to market roads? seawall? airports? seaport? schoolbuildings? highways and bridges? hehehe... the NBN project is worth every ounce for us "taga-bukid" / "promdi" and it should be pushed thru... then after NBN is inaugurated, we hang the corrupts and the corruptors...

hmmm...
pero dito saamin sa Makati...
mas mabilis ang globe broadband, maybe mas malawak yung naabot nung cellcite ng globe compared sa smart..

i've tried smart bro...actually firs internet connection ko was from smart bro...yup we paid 999.00 a moth, pero nung nabalitaan namin na mas maganda daw ang globe, we try it and...hanngang ngayon globe broadband kami...995.00 a month kasama pa ang landline..pareho unlimited service...

kaya i think mas mura at practical ang globebroadband...

wala pa naman ako nagiging problema sa connection with globe..unlike dati madalas nawawala ang connection sa smartbro...especially pag cloudy! ewan ko kung bakit....

^^

[keng_113]

^from makati ka pala hehehee..... san sa Makati?
Mandaluyong lang ako eh, tatawid ka lang
sa ilog eh, Makati na.

medyo mas praktikal nga ata ang Globe, pinag-iisipan ko na
nga rin kung magpapalit na kame ng ISP eh, siguro kapag tapos na ang
1 year lock in period ko sa Smart lilipat na ako
