The tip we got earlier this month about Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband was spot on. New mobile 3G packages are now available at the Sun Cellular website announcing attractive rates.
Sun Cellular will be offering flat rate plans, the only other unlimited 3G plans in the Philippines today (PLDT WeRoam postpaid plans also offer unlimited 3G services, though only for corporate accounts).
Sun 3G Plan 799
up to 400kbps
60 hours/month
Php799 MSF
Sun 3G Plan 999
up to 400kbps
unlimited
Php999 MSF
Sun 3G Plan 1999

unlimited
Php1,999 MSF
*The Sun Broadband Wireless service is initially available in the Metro Manila only.

Hi Abe,
may typo sa last plan… should have been “Plan 1999″ instead of “Plan 799″
@ferd – ty!
Can’t wait for this to be available in the Visayas/Mindanao area.
Mukang mas ok to. Need ko na lng ng review from others kung ok to keysa dun sa smart prepaid broadband. Buti na lang di pa ko nakabili nung smart bro prepaid.
I inquired about this but according to their cs, our area still has no 3g coverage..
Sayang kuha pa naman sana ko, konti palang ata ang may 3g na area sa sun…
dapat sinabi din sa site nila yung mga area lang na may 3g..
can anyone of you post which area has sun 3g coverage within the metro?
Same here, no 3G signal here. Lingayen, Pangasinan
hindi nga ma ayos ng smart at globe yung 3G nila, what do you expect with Sun na laging walang Signal
I think sun is much better than smart bro. .”SANA”

Ok to. Kaya lang baka pareho ng cellphone nila, kung may sun lang gumagana yung signal LOL.
Hi YUGA,
Ask ko lang ko merong USB type wireless router na puede ikabit sa 3G wireless broadband ng SUN.
Recently, SUN offered unlimited internet service for only 799.00 mas maganda n nagyun yung offer nila and it comes with 2mbps speed.
hi, nag pa demo ako sa sun broadband. umabot ung speed nang 400kbps download. upload is 300kbps. 6pm un saturday. tapos ung signal consistent. wala nung sinasabing spike tulad nung sa smart. ok na pang dota hehehehe
hi, i think the above plans were already changed, kasi nung kumuha ako sa sun shop sa robinsons pioneer they only offer 2 plans lang, 1st one is the 799 a month unlimited and the 2nd is same unlimited time and speed with the 1st plan pero bundled with a phone with 300 na monthly plan. weird pero as of today im ok with the internet service. i have my personal review here http://kndsmarcelino.com/blog/2008/sun-cellular-broadband/
knds
pede po ba khit female usb to male rj 45 adapter ikabit sa router???

BKET PO WEAK UNG SIGNAL D2 SKEN 2ND FLR. N PO NKALAGAY UNG USB?
MDALAS PO CIA MA DISCONNECT
umm this is my experience so far, ‘got this sun broadband nitong january ‘09 and nung simula ok naman 200kbps something speed and umaabot ang signal ko ng 3 bars or sometimes full (HSDPA connection lang ako).. ok na sana to sa akin, kaso every week bumababa na ngaun around 80-120kbps na lang..lalo n kapag around 7pm to 11pm sobrang baba na. pero kapag madaling araw 400kbps kaya p nya (speed test from http://www.2wire.com) and napansin ko ngaun n parang every hour bigla ma di-disconnect and you need to reconnect/reset your sun broadband again, before 1st month ko halos hindi nadi2sconnect ngaun n lang naging ganito, i cant download overnight na ng tuloy2.. even tho i payed 3000+ initialy for my plan (somewhere in alabang ang location ko)
I avail my sun broadband wireless unlimited this week lang Feb 18 2009, and so far so good naman ang speed nya, Alabang din ako, plan ko din share to sa isang PC ko kaso nga usb sya hmm pano ko kaya yun?,.
Same issue also, though I live in QC. The first months that I’ve used sun ok naman. Kaso, lately (around Feb), madalas nga siyang magdisconnect, almost every 1-2hrs disconnected or connected pa rin pero ayaw na gumana ng internet/downloads. I reported it to Sun but they just said they’ll look into it, pero as of now they haven’t found the root cause. If this persists, it might be better to go back to PLDT.
maganda ba ang Sun? balak ko kasi ipatanggal na ang pldt dsl namin dahil bumaba ang speed nila. Camanava area ako.
Same here.. I just got my sun broadband last 24th of this month, but I started using it yesterday. Ok nmn nung dinemo sken nung agent dito samin ung connection (Evanghelista, Makati) , actually I was very impressed about it. Then i noticed this morning na palagi ako na didisconnect, i have to re-connect thru their software, at first I thought na didisconnect sya automatically kapag inactive ung laptop ko, meaning there’s no activity or browsing going on… so I thought ok lang, baka ganun talaga, pero just an hour ago it is happening eventhough im doing work on my laptop. I actually bought sun sim pa just for me to check it with their techsupport, but I’ll just do it tomorrow ksi its late na, kaya eto, I end up pulling up this page ksi i’m trying to check whether there’s a quick fix for it or its a known issue.. anyway i hope they can do something about it soon..
i’m planning to buy the modem for 2500 for instant connection with monthly of 799, pero my question my signal kaya sa san mateo rizal and marikina… nag ask ask me a month ago sabi nila for san mateo wala pa pero sa marikina meron, but still ask ko sila, since very useful to for people on the go and g ood for people na palaging gising sa abi kasi mabilis ang connection.. hehehehe. diba associated sila with digitel . we are also using the dsl with phone with them, the 777 plan actually i’m not satisfied with the connection kasi starting 9.30 am super bagal ng internet connection but when the clock strikes 9pm evening dun lang ma experience ung speed that you are paying. hope the wireless is not same with wired hehehe. just hoping>>>
..hay.. ..kung mahina sa makati, paano pa sa parañaque..?!
..baka globe na lang..
I availed of the sun plan 799 last December at first it was really fast as promised you will get a 2Mbps speed. However since this February they adopted a fair usage policy which sucks! Meaning you will be limited to a certain amount of data for download. If you reached a certain amount of data per month your download will be limited to 5kbps I repeat 5kbps this is less than the speed of a dial-up connection!!! So if i were you i wont get their service unless 5kbps is ok for you!!! I will be disconnecting my account soon. One dissatisfied customer here. I am from QC btw
wonder when they will come up with a prepaid one. To be locked up for 1 year is kinda scary.
hi.. so if may fair usage policy… ilan ang alloted Gbytes download limit mo for a month bago mag limit to 5kbps speed?
also, anyone knows pano maconnect ung internet sa sun broadband, if balak ko mag LAN? may alam ba kayo pano i-connect sa WRT54 linksys wireless router?
which broadband internet service can you recommend for baguio city area?
hello sa inyong lahat!!! ahmmm may tanong lang ako… bka pwede nio masagot…
kasi may SBW ako… mga 2 weeks na xa saken…
hmmm…
I wonder lang kung bket ganun?
kasi pag nagdodownload ako ng malaking file, mabilis ang speed ng net ko… mga 175kbps average…
pero pag tumigil na ung download, biglang bababa ung bandwidth nya…
meron bang pwedeng solusyon toh?
kasi ambgal talga… hindi ako mkalaro ng online game… kahet mag surf lng ng web hindi makaya…
pero pag may download, mabilis naman… bket ganun?
sana mabigyan nio ako ng solusyon tungkol dito…
salamat!!!
you can e-mail me at paulo_327@yahoo.com
On Sun cellular’s fair usage policy, would anyone know exactly the download limit per month?
thanks.
i’ve read that sun has introduced a pre-paid wireless broadband. I’ve read from one article that the pre-paid one will be using a HUAWIE E160 which is smaller than the HUAWIE E220 (current modem for post paid). My questions are; what is the difference between these two modems? Are they giving the same performance? Does the E20 has 3.5G?
Hi Yuga,
Am targetting to subscribe to one of the plan of sun broadand wireless plan which is up to 2Mbps, can anyone tell me what is its lowest speed? and can anyone vouch that broadband is easily accessible & dependable (in downlaoding) than DSL?
Regards,
@francis2009
Huawei e160 and e220 is essentially the same. However, the e160 is much smaller, doesnt have cable nor the card reader.
@Jireh56
Lowest speed could be a low as 0kbps.
Accessiblity and dependability cannot be guaranteed. Weather-weather lang.
My wife already tried using wireless service from both Globe and smart. Much to my disappointment Globe only used for a month then no more signal. While Smart slower than a snail’s pace. So dont get your hope’s up.
Very disappointed with mine. I live in Pasig City near C5.
Hi to all if you have concern or inquiries about Sun Broadband Wireless related to products or technical issues feel free to post a comment or send email at sbwteamleader.smnorthedsa@digitel.ph i will make reply as soon as i read it. >>>This is your techmaster from North Edsa Branch
Mga tol,
Bakit kaya ganun? nabili ko sya nun july 4 ok naman, speed nya is 3.6mbps but now! July 7 236.8 kbps na lng! bakit ganun ang sun, kol ako lagi sa hotline nila isang araw na walang sumasagot…
Ganito ba talaga ang sun. unlimited daw pero parang limited yata.
niloloko yata nl ang mga subscriber.
Im vey disappointed talaga
TECHMASTER question here…Im have SBW unlimited plan 799…Im fully aware that you guys implement FUP(FAIR USAGE POLICY)in your service…Just want to know whats the exact alloted Gigabytes that we are allowed to used within a month….CSR me sa T-mobile uk account, fair use policy samin is 3G..Plz paki verify naman po..tnx
Hi to all 3G wifi users:
I was looking for some info in the net regarding the set-up of the USB modem(Globe Visibility) so can accomodate all 3 networks, Globe ,Smart, Suncellular by just changing the SIM pack(Pre-paid).
Below summarizes my Testing, right now its working fine for all 3 networks:
USB modem: ZTE MF626
Default: Globe Visibility package
status: Locked to Globe
Inorder to Unlock ZTE MF626 to all networks you must download the software update on this website:
http://web.portal.globe.com.ph/visibility/MF626UpdateTool_GLOBE_PHV1.2.exe
its a globe file update so no need to worry about incompatibility i tried it and it works fine, just need atleast 25 mins to do the upgrade:
Steps:
1. Insert USB modem then wait for the modem to be detected, it will launch the Globe Visibility software, just exit the software.
2. Launch the exe file then press Update:
3. wait until update finishes, beware not to remove usb while in process, it may corrupt your USB modem.
Now you need to create each profile for each Network:
For Smart:
Dial Number: *99#
APN: internet or smartbro ( internet is faster )
For Globe:
Dial Number: *99***1#
APN: http.globe.com.ph
For SunCellular:
Dial Number: *99#
APN: minternet
if you can put your location whenever you give comments here, that would be a lot better.. im from makati kasi and im planning to buy sun broadband (649 plan). But Im still doing some research para hindi naman masayang yung pagbili ko. I was reading the reviews here kaya lang walang mga mga nagmention ng locations kaya hindi ko rin ma-assess..
-thanks!
Available na ba ito sa baguio city?
joy.. and to anyone there wanting to see a fair review.. well.. you’re doing the right thing now…
im here in las pinas… which is yeah..like the very part of metro manila… and how does a 4.0 mbps real fast surfing the net sound to you????
i got its little plug it thing..subscribed to its unlimited promo.. and to tell ya… ive never done such a right decision before. im throwing my smartbro.
mga sir mam alam nyo ba kung anu site ng tinitignan ng sun para sa 3g signal coverage nila just want to know kung sun may signal sunbroadban natin
ok naman yung speed ng sunbroadban unlimited 3.6 mbps kaso bat ganun minsan bumabaga yung download speed nya pag nagdodownoad ka di accurate
Sun Broadband is a crap! Basura! 0.00 kbps most of the time.
My other frind’s connections from other networks are much much faster.
Sun Broadband is a crap!
hi sun broadband din ang gamit ko.. okay naman ang signal sa area namin, constant din ang connection and speedtest.net confirms it pero bakit kaya hindi nagtratranslate sa download speed sa bittorrent client ko? speedtest.net says that dl speed has up to 2 Mbps but the dl speed that my bittorrent client gets is only 10 kbps.. help naman..
sun broadband is a crap! first month ok yung service. sobrang mabilis syempre para di ka agad madissapoint, then another month came at ayun, palaging 0.00 kbps. at this moment walang signal as in green light di sya maka connect. i already called sun broadband and inconsistent yung sinasabi nila, yung isang csr sabi walang problema sa kanila, then i called again coz the first csr advised me to uninstall first the unit, then i-try ko daw ulit pagtawag ko syempre iba na yung csr sabi naman may problem. anu ba talaga..di naman pwedeng magbayad ng monthly pag palaging ganun yung service nila. kaya dun sa balak mag avail ng sun broadband think twice.. pag di pa rin ok signal the next 24 hrs ipapacancel ko na yung service at hindi ako magbabayad ng termination fee!
talk to my lawyer.
SBW prepaid ay mas mabilis compare sa SBW unlimited…nga lng…minsan nag ddown ung connection…ung prepaid umaabot 200kbp sa torrent and direct download ung unlimited..aw nde man lng umabot ng 50kbps sa torrent and direct download speedtest.net damn its half a 1mbps wahehehehe weirddddddddddd
Bkit ganun yung SBW. Fullbar yung HSDPA signal dito samin, peru pag naopen na ako ng site and download speed 0kb – 30kb lang ganun ba talaga?.. ang mahal pa naman ng modem.. hmmp…
ask ko lng bakit pag ngcoconect ako merong message n ngpop-up… error 619: a connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed.
anu kya problem.. can somebody help me.
Same error here! Kaninang morning lang ok pa tapos pagdating ng hapon ayun nageeror na! Check ko signal strong nman HELP PLS!!!
error 619: a connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed.
Good morning!
Paki-try nyo empty yung windows temp table:
1. Click Start, click Run, type %temp% in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the Edit menu, click Select All.
3. On the File menu, click Delete.
4. Click Yes when you receive the following message:
- Are you sure you want to send these items to the Recycle Bin?
5. Verify if this resolves the issue.
I just singed up for sun broadband postpaid last month. The USB modem is P1600 and they charge P800/month. I’m at the Makati waltermart area, and when I bought it the sales rep told me I was in an area with an okay signal.
Pros:
- no need for any paperwork to avail, just a valid ID
- did not see any disconnection issues
- consistent connection speed (unlike w/ Globe Visibility sometimes you browse fast and sometimes not at all)
- if you like to stop using their service, just apply for disconnectin and throw away the sim and get a prepaid Sun sim. Then if you want to use their postpaid service again just get a new sim
Cons:
- forget about torrent downloads unless you are VERY PATIENT
- consistently below average browsing speed, you may as well forget youtube or huge file downloads
- if you’re out of metro area you’re dead
Conclusion: if you want something fast for downloads get a DSL line account (like PLDT or Globe). If you want fast wifi and good coverage get Smart Bro’s USB modem (thought I know it’s only prepaid). I _have_ used Globe Tattoo for only a few hours and found it fast, but saw a lot of bad reviews online. But if you want a cheap “I always want to be online for facebook, YM and email” account that you can put in your smartphone and will be using in Metro Manila then Sun fits the bill.
