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.
