For Nemz.

Yuga, hope you don’t mind me replying to this.

If you are a hardcore gamer, getting a USB or Wireless internet is not a good idea. The DSL line connection is more stable. Wireless has other factors such as weather, line of site and all that. Signal fluctuates in a day, in an hour or a minute though it is consistent most of the time.

So if you are a gamer and you plan to use it for that particular purpose, you will only get disappointed. I am also sharing from what other gamer friends have experienced and switched back to the hardlines of DSL.

Hope this helps.

- B

“Sir Yuga, is this also available for Lan gaming? I mean sharing through lan? medyo newbie po ako when it comes to Smartbro 3G and yung isa pa na may modem. Thank you much po!”

Same question. Thanks!

I was suppose to subscribe for the unlimited 3G this morning at Smart Wireless Center, ATC branch and I was informed that it is currently on hold.

@Eduardo

Yes, I’m afraid. “Plan 1500 is on hold,” according to customer reps at Smart Wireless Centers in SM Megamall and Ayala Avenue.

On the other hand, Smart call center agents say the plan is still available. If it is indeed available, I will apply for the plan.

Wow! I hasn’t even been a month since it was launched, and now it’s on hold?

The 1500 package does sound very interesting. I inquired about this at Smart Wireless Centers. Unfortunately, customer care representatives said the plan is currently “on hold.”

So they’ve upgraded their speed? I see no change in the connectivity. In fact, it even got worse.

@ yuga

Seems to know more than SMART CS, I suggest to charge them double!

@Jay – I meant the new unlimited plan is nationwide. As for the network coverage itself, I still doubt it.

@yuga comment #10

“that this is nationwide and covers all areas.”

they wish! should upgrade all I mean ALL. Read: ALL their networks supporting 3G not repeaters.
