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.

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…

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.

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.

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!

I am talking about Smart Bro ShareIt!

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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

hi. just want to add that this is my normal average speed on day time. (dont know if the photo will upload…) it varies from 600kbps to 1+mbps

anyway, not bad for a monday noon…

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 want to give my 2 cents on smartbro share it plan…

im a new subscriber, one month pa lang ako… but i believe what smart said in their ads (about 2 mbps *max burst speed) is true. it is also true na may times and places na mabagal.

in my experience, (im residing @ baguio) ok ang hsdpa signal dito un nga lang may times na mabagal ang traffic kaya mabagal ang speed. pero sa gabi towards madaling araw… nakakapag dl ako movie (700mb) for less than 60mins. (tina-timingan ko dati kasi ako smartbro prepaid user so sulit ang load).

at good days, nakakapag download ako gamit ang bittorrent client about 240kBps (that’s a little bit more sa 2mbps/200kBps max burst speed they promised)

at bad days, minsan about 10kBps lang. bummer.

but kung madiskarte ka, sa madaling araw ka mag download para sulit.

again this is to balance claims, (in my own personal experience/also based sa location and time) totoo ang advertised speed ng bro, whether prepaid or postpaid.

but the only problem i think im getting is the wifi router itself. kasi parang hindi sya pang long range… i have to check it on smart.

bottomline is, depende talaga sa location, and time.

same problem goes for me as well…been using smartbro shareit for a couple of months and im very very disappointed with the service!i switched from globe wired broadband to shareit because it has a wifi feature which is usefull for our laptops.The max bandwidth i got ever since was only 400+ kbps(very low to what they’re saying that it can go to 2 Mbps)and since then it barely reached 100 kbps!At and mas nakakabwesit pa,kaylangan ko pang mag-tiis ng 2 yrs para ma disconnect ko na ang subscription ko!

I just wished someone would report this issue to NTC or better yet,sue them(hahayyy..if only I have the resources to do that!x_x).Tayo lng subscribers niloloko nito e.
Anyways,just telling you my experience. thnks…

my problem is that the router stops giving internet connection every 3hrs or so, I need to reset it to get back on browsing. Is there a way to fix this? cuz its really annoying to reset the router over and over again to have internet access.

Yup. i have been calling hotline every week just to report a very slow connection or a “disconnecting/rebooting” router. I went to wireless center last saturday to report my issue. I even took a video of my router losing its signal. the guy at the wireless center told me that there is a signal fluctuation. and that he will ask somebody in smart to look at my place and check for the signal. its almost 4days has passed and i did not hear any thing from smart. and every time i have a slow connection it will take me a minimum of 30minutes just to get through their hotline and talk to somebody. and when i am able to talk to someone, they will tell me that the connection is slow because they’re doing some adjustments and enahncements. i once asked them why can’t they send an advisory txt when they’re doing something that would result to a slow or intermitent connection. They are very religious and very fast when sending spam text but when sending connection advisory, they will look for alibis.

hi share ko lang experience ng family ko sa smartbro! (smartBROKEN)
ngsubrscribe po kami last april 2009, month of aprril,june, and july ok and service. evrytime i ping a website there’s a reply.. kumbaga walang request time out dumating ang month of aug,sept and present naging inconsistent ang signal.
We subrscribe to 312kbps plan (canopy), 1st week pa lang ng aug. napansin ko na kagad na 11am-11pm sobrang bagal ng connection at halos request time out ang nakukuha ko.of course the usual thing i reported it to their TSR over the *1888 hotline.
Ang sabi base station daw,so i waited 24hrs as instructed by the agent i called again and nireport na ganon pa din sabi ni agent “system enhancement po kasi sa base station,pasensya na sa abala” 24hrs ulet… Halos tinamad nako at 2months n nakalipas bago ako nakatawag ulet.I reported same problem and they told me same reason na base station daw,halos nagfreak out ako nung narinig ko yun kasi 2months na nakalipas un ganon pa din ung reason meaning to say within 2months di nila nasolusyunan o WALA SILANG GINAWA to solve my issue.
-i spoke to a supervisor na sabi iuupdate ako before matapos ang araw baka daw gabi n sya tumawag pero wala akonng nareceive na call
-may pumunta na 2 technician sa bahay at pinindot pindot ang pc ko halos 3mins alng yata sila nagstay they told me BASE STATION ANG SIRA!then alis na daw sila, fine!

-guys, i have nothing against smart company thankful p nga ako kasi nagkakainternet kami sa subd. kasi di pa available yung dsl samin.
Ang point ko lang sana as customer na matino naman nagbabayad ng rate/month makuha ko man lang yung 60% na speed binabayaran ko. guys evry 11am-11pm nagcoconduct ako speedtest ang nakukuha ko lang minimum of 19kbps max of 60kbps. At sabi nila upgraded na nga ang plan 312kbps to 1m but we cant see the difference! guys maybe you’re wondering bakit my timeframe? di ko din alam basta ngtrtry din ako mag speedtest mga 12am -3am kasi yun mejo ok ang conection ko nakukuha ko lang is 130-260kbps. kala ko b upgraded??!
Anyways sana mapansin ng smart na di lang ako ang nakakaexperience ng problema sa connection nila.
Definitely once makapsok ang DSL samin ay mgswiswitch kami dun im also aware na sister company ang pldt and smart but were still hoping na mas ok un
Thanks!
