im here in bulacan i can get hsdpa signal.
grabe super bilis

minodify ko lng ung setting kaya nakakuha ako ng signal.
ito ung steps.

1.ung sa smart bro application nyo, click nyo ung tools, tapos option,.
2 then select nyo ung network
3 select nyo ung band. piliin nyo ung wcdma 850.
4. tpos apply nyo na. makikita nyo mawawala ung signal nyo. dahil hsdpa na ung hahanapin na signal nyan
5. lastly itabi nyo ung modem nyo sa landline nyo
(pldt ung gamit ko).
6.magkakaroon uli yan ng signal.
7connect nyo na

yan po.
effective po yan sana matry nyo.

[...] tip from Lawrence got me all curious about this alleged new HSDPA modem from Globe. A wireless landline plus broadband service has been reported as early as last [...]

Yuga is correct, Smart not yet on HSDPA. We may be from Smart but my boss and I are using Globe’s HSDPA at home. Funny but true.

Last time I talked with the Smart Execs about upgrading to HSDPA, they said they’re still assessing the demand so I guess no, they haven’t upgraded yet.

But Smart already has HSDPA, right? You just need an HSDPA enabled device/phone to actually reach the HSDPA speeds. And with the way mobile phone companies are releasing their phones there should’t be a shortage of HSDPA phones, unless you’re a die-hard Nokia fan.

@ dHoy

We spent the night at that Bliss Drive-Inn near the Welcome Mabalacat sign.

@ Rick

Yeash, mejo lugi pa kase there are very few HSDPA coverage outside MM.

@ Dave

Wasn’t able to try the upload speeds but when I’m mobile (practically on the car), I don’t usually do uploads.

@ Gurbi

Smart 3G can only reach somewhere around 300++ kilobits per second. HSDPA can run up to 1.4 Megabits per second.

[...] pretty impressive and a good alternative to Globe’s HSDPA service. Although for heavy users, Smart’s 10 Pesos per 30 minutes will set up back around PHP [...]

Oh speaking of Smart 3G.. I will also use it with the Sony Ericsson mobile networking to share my experience in a small rural area in Nueva Ecija..

How is your upload speed? I hear the upload has been much slower lately with globe visibility (around 58kbps). Perhaps they’re capping it.

You’re blogging on mobile? Oh, that’s cool!

I wish I had the money to do so, too.
