@jim ayson

Lelong ka ba?

Sun Rate is the cheapest.

Piso lang kada oras, ungas.

That’s 800php/month or 800php/720hrs

So 800/720 = 1.1

I tried using Globe tattoo but was sooo disappointed. My PLDT dsl at Plan 888 (PLDT’s lowest landline w/internet package launched) turned out to be faster. I’m located in Paranaque near SM Sucat but unfortunately Globe’s service is not good in here. Though I’ve been a loyal consumer of their prepaid mobile service, Globe tattoo really sucks big time.

I’m thinking of trying SUN since I read and heard good service from them. Maybe get a trial promo or something if they offer one. I’m just having 2nd thoughts since I’ll be using it in Calamba, Laguna and Muntinlupa areas as well.

Can you give me suggestions on what service provider to choose for these three areas (Paranaque, Laguna and Muntinlupa)?

Thanks vm…

Just go for Smart Bro… I’ve tried both Globe Tattoo and Sun Prepaid. The maximum speed I can get with Globe is 900 kbps. For Sun, it’s 500 kbps. Smart Bro, I can get 1.8 mbps. This was tested in SM Megamall.

For Smart Bro, the places that would be problematic would be Trinoma, Glorietta, and Robinson’s Pioneer. It’s hard to get even a GPRS signal in some areas of these malls. The key to using wireless broadband, is to have HSDPA signal – regardless of what network.

About the Smart prepaid promo rates –

Computation is off. Smart’s P100 for 12 hours is 8.33 per hour.

Plus this equates to P200 for 24 hours, which is lower than Sun’s P300 for 24 hours.

Sun’s P300 per 24 hours = P12.50/hr.

The bottom line is P100 is a lower cash out prepaid rate for the consumer which gives you the best deal.

Eastern Communications will be launching their wireless broadband Internet service. No need for additional plug-ins as long as you have a wifi ready laptop since it runs on a metrowide wireless network and not just 3G.

They will call it Eastern iWay.

i am using sun broadband for more than a month. and the signal strength in our area is almost always 92-100%. the only time i experienced a downtime was when there was a storm or heavy rain. i’m just confused at that time when my sun broadband shows 0% signal but my phone still shows that there’s a 3g signal from sun? are they not suppose to be related?

I have Globe Visibiliy as it is provided by my company but I find myself not using the Globe as the connection is very slow, when I say slow it is slower than Smart Bro DSL connection which already suck so the money paying globe is not worth it, I also have Sun broadband which for my personal use so far the Sun Broadband is the cheapest as the Chart suggest and also probably the best customer service and speed, I just wonder how long it will last as for smart the service has gone downhill i still have dsl smart bro and have used 3g connection over my phone the speed adn the price suck.

I’d say Smart has the best package. I challenged the free trial of Sun and Sun cannot even do an HQ Stream without freezing. Smart can do HD with minimal freezing IF you are using HSDPA (3.5G).

Try SM Megamall. You can get constant 180 kB/s or approx. 1.6 Mbps using BitTorrent. Use it in the Cyberzone area where the indoor cellsites are located. I’d say Smart’s indoor cellsites are more reliable for SmartBro than the outdoor cellsites – which they say are down.

SMART — Please ensure you indoor cellsites are not under the ceiling.
