The latest HSDPA 3G modem from Smart Bro and Globe Visibility were manufactured by ZTE in China. The Smart Bro model is MF622 and the Globe Visibility is MF626, making the latter the much newer model. Incidentally, the newer device drivers from ZTE would not work with the older model used by Smart Bro. In fact, Globe Visibility takes over the Smart Bro installation folder in the Program Files. In order for the Smart Bro HSDPA modem to work, one has to un-install the Globe Visibility software/drivers first. A new poster ad from Smart Bro promotes their broadband speed to be up to 2Mbps. I fired up several internet bandwidth meters, hooked up my Smart Bro Prepaid account and positioned my laptop to get an HSDPA signal. This could be a response to the SmartBro 3G Price Cuts on the prepaid kits (Php3,800).
