SmartBro Share It was first introduced last March, a 3G WiFi router that can share internet up to 5 devices.
The Share It subscription costs Php999 a month for only 90 hours of free 3G internet.
Smart has now upgraded that to unlimited with a 24-month 12-month lock-in contract, plus a Php2,500 one-time fee for the 3G router.
This is looking to be a good offer since it is possible to get that SIM card and put it in your phone for unlimited 3G. It’s also possible to use it with a 3G USB dongle so you can take it anywhere with you and hook it up on your laptop or netbook. That’s a cheaper option to the Php1,500 unlimited 3G subscription.

anyway again, *burst speeds are “burst” speeds. it most of the time just bursts… its not flat. it fluctuates. if you’re lucky, it would stay that way for a few hours, then back to lower speeds…
Just got my smartbro usb prepaid kit two days ago. After setting up the software, I went straight to speedtest.net. There it was, speed reaching upto 2.7mb! Great! Then i tried it on youtube,.. excellent! For my final test “Torrents”. Wow! 11kbps! Ang bagal. Give me a break! Furtunately, it was just given by a friend.
* Good for watching tubes
* Nada when it comes to torrents
(Something to do with NAT)
guys smartbro speed does depend on the signal on the area you are in.
now bumili na kayo ng smartbro plug it unlimited. mas maganda 999/month lng.
umaapaw pa sa 2mbps ang speed sa full signal ng hsdpa.
yung mga mahina ang signal wag na kayo magmura sa smart, magtanong kayo kng san malakas siganal para naman maexperience nyo ang experience ko.
galing ng smart.
youtube-continuous
browsing-split of second lng
torrents-100+kbps pero depends sa seeders. maglagay kayo tracker para mas mabilis.
I’ve been a smart subscriber for a long time. I used to have canopy for smart bro but recently migrated to share it for wife access.
For barely 2 months of share it use, I didn’t have much problems until recently. The connection is terrible. Aside from the fact that it’s very slow, you get disconnected most of the time. I called up customer service 3x but all they can say is that they’re going to make the report and forward this to the support group. It’s been 2 wks already and the problem remains the same.
I feel cheated. It’s not fair that I’m locked up for a two-year contract and not getting the service I paid for. I hope the company does something about this before the problem gets out of hand.
i’ve posted my own recent misfortunes with this service. please visit my blog. let me know ur comments about shareit. thanks!
medyo hindi lang maganda ang plan 999 ng smart unlimited…sabi ng samrt kaya nito ang 10pc…maganda sana ang connection kaso ang problema lagi nawawalan ng connection, kailangnang tanggalin sa saksakan ng kuryente ang plug ng smart every 30 minutes or i hour para bumalik sa dati ang connection na maganda…
ibig sabihin sa 7pc, ung iba nawawalan ng connection hanggang lahat mawalan na…disaster para sa mga onlime gamer lalo na sa dota boys…ganda sana ang speed kaso dahil nga sa wireless parang naliligaw ang signal,nawawala oras-oras…hay grabe sakit ng ulo para sa internet cafe…kung sa bahay lang sya okey naman kasi di naman for business purposes.
maganda nga ang speed ng smart dito sa lugar namin…kaso oras oras ng didisconect…bakit kea? sa signal? eh andito lang sa tabi namin ang cell site…
I remembered the first time we got our PLAN 999 UNLIMITED,August 2009, we cant use it for the first 3 days because it wasn’t activated yet by smart so there after waiting for that long we finally broke in to the webs and got it working. It was mentioned in the manual that to access my browser i need to log in first to smart portal to get the connection started but we never did this and can connect as soon as the computer is turned on and we never had a problem with this matter up to now. The speed was just mediocre, we anticipated this since the connection was wireless. base on speedtests we had it can reach as much as 1.6mbps but cant really feel it since the webpages load a bit crap. My connection was pretty stable even after ONDOY where in our globe broadband connection got broken, fun coz i can still surf.
Ping sucks, online gamers wont join my games and they kick me when I try to join them because of hi ping/latency. Not for gamers! I get good downloads sometimes. I sometimes get 2mbps at 3AM to 4AM in the morning, and less 50kbps the rest of the day. Weekends are worst. I could barely open facebook!

Guys, ok ba talga ung share-it? smartbro user din ako
ung canopy type for almost 4 years.. kaso ung canopy ko hndi na maka-kuha ng connection kc my naka-harang na sa LOS nito.. hndi na rin maka-change ng LOS Base sabi ng Smart tech support na bumisita sa bahay namin… like you guys, online games din hilig ko, at
sa canopy connection ko i frequently experience DC,DC,DC,DC..madalas na DC tlga. now nagpapasalamat ako kc permanently discon na ako sa CANOPY ko dahil sa unavailable source na pwede ako ma-connect.
Prob ko now is meju interested ako sa Smartbro Share-it na up to 2mbps max bursts speed. ngayon nga sana ako mag-apply kaso sarado wireless centers ng smart. and base sa mga comment nyo dito dami negative pero meron din positive.
location ko within the city kc. ung smartbro plug-it ok naman ang cgnal sabi ng pinsan ko na katabi ng bahay namin.
tanong ko po ano kaya maganda na internet connection? pwede kaya static IP sa Share-it? para solo ko ang bandwith.. pls. help..
maganda naman share it connection sa amin, depende lang talaga sa area yan, and also sa activity mo sa internet.
hello,
wag nyo itry kasi ang bagal ng connection. Strength ng signal ko is excellent pero when i tried to perform speedtest result is equivalent to dial up connections. I recommend using the wired connection.
smart bro share-it, oh my….. very disappointing.
sayang lng ibinabayad namin. 3 months lng nagamit then the modem router malfunction at need pa ipadala sa manila for repair. at un mga csr nila very inconsistent mga sinasabi paiba-iba ng statement di sila pare pareho ng sinasabi pag nagreklamo na bakit wala internet connection. ang alam nila sabihin ay gagawan ng report or observe ng 24 hours. pauli ulit lng ng sinasabi. nakaka praning sila kausap. need yata ipadala sa training mga csr ng smartbro pra may update sa knowledge nila. grabe n talaga to. syang lng pera namin dito.
sa mag smarbroshareit user n disconnected. i need only 1 unit for replace my defect unit… ok naman signal d2 depende sa location… sana my mg reply sa skin. incilaruel26@yahoo.com PM me..
[...] of the moment, they do not have an unlimited plan, probably because this will compete with the SmartBro Share-It Unlimited Plan. However, unlike the SmartBro Share-It that is restricted to your area/city, the [...]
I also been using smartbro share it and plug it prepaid and postpaid since Dec 2009 at the start i got a little bit slow connection and disconnection I got only better speed starting feb of 2010 maybe until june of 2010 but starting july 2010 it started very slow connection and disconnection until now. In general i suggest not to get this suck thing, you will waste your money.
Total waste of money… Dito sa Binangonan Rizal grabe bagal ng connection ko. First 2 months napakaganda ng connection. 1.5Mbps!!! 3rd month naglaro nalang around 50Kbps… 5th, no connection for 3 weeks. Full bar signals based on UI indicator, and i also tried 3g/hsdpa using smart sim, mas mabilis pa umabot ako ng 1Mbps 6th until 8th month (October 2010) nag tyaga ako sa 30Kbps maka pag bukas lang ng Email masaya na ko. NOVEMBER!!! LESS 1KBPS!!!!???? From NOVEMBER 10, 2010 up to NOVEMBER 23, 2010. DI MANLANG MAKA RETRIEVE NG EMAIL AT DI DIN MAKA CONNECT NG YM. Tonight mukang meron naman basta matyaga kang mag refresh dahil madalas timeout…
Nakakahiya ang SMART… GARAPALANG PAG NANAKAW…
I’ve been expecting that this smart brodband are realy good connection.. specialy in online games….
but why every time ive play online game i experience dc.
ive been playing many games… and all of them are the same result… always DC….
and in 5pm to midnight… the network are toooooo… slow.. Like DIAL UP??
what happen to your advertisement that youve said that this is a 300+mbps??
is that a lie? or is there anything problem with your network……….?
Ive been expcting that your have to fix this problem ASP.
kung mag 999 kyo sa smart. mag 1500 nalang kayo sa destiny cable, internet and tv cable na. i used to use globe broadband but galit na galit ako sa kanila. and like smart kung half of the month wla kang connection di naman half lang ang bbyaran mo e. I got sun wireless broadband later pero limited padin e pero di nawawalan ng net yun. then since I switched to cable internet immortal na tlga ang speed ko. never dies. always strong. and they say cable is even faster than DSL. sabi daw mas strong pa ang skycable kaso mas mahal. but other says naman na dsl is depending rin sa location pero mas higher risk ma DC dsl than cable.
