Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband: Unlimited for Php999!

Published by: yuga under: Telecoms.

posted: August 7th, 2008

Got a tip that the recently announced Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband service will be priced at Php999 per month with unlimited usage. Sun Cellular’s 3G will use a similar USB dongle. This is so far the cheapest and only unlimited 3G provider in the Philippines. However, since Sun Cellular has just started rolling out their HSDPA network, 3G coverage will be limited to several areas in Metro Manila.

USB dongle powered unlimited 3G-based internet. Interesting for people on the Go.

I love how Sun Cellular shakes up the industry with its “Unlimited” offerings.

This is competition working for the benefit of the end user.

Since they will not even provide the service, why not offer it at 888 a month … heck 777 a month is even better. I’d happily pay much more than 999 a month for an internet service provider who actually _provided_ service. (anyone from SmartBro reading this?).

A long time ago a rich but kind of shady car salesman buddy taught me this tactic …as long as you don’t actually have to _deliver_ you can sell for almost any price and make a nice profit. *sigh*

Here’s a picture of the Sun mobile broadband flat rate promo.

Will this rate also be applicable if you were to use your 3G/HSDPA phone instead of the usb dongle?

I hope you’re right, cause you know what, I just talked to the guys from Sun like less than two weeks ago and they told me they won’t push this service out any time soon.

If it’s 999 I’ll sign up tomorrow.

Looks interesting indeed. Unlimited for P999? It’s no surprise since it’s from Sun Mobile.

Nice product from SUN, I might as well try it.
mocs replied on Aug 8th, 2008 at 7:13 am (13)

i’ ll wait for it in the Visayas, and jump in a heart bet! This is what we need.
Erin replied on Aug 8th, 2008 at 8:03 am (14)

We are near a cell-site in nueva ecija which is up to now unreachable from landline telephones. smartbro doesnt service the area either. i think ill wait for this to be actually rolled out and service other parts of the country.

@katexter: thanks for the pic. they say they are waiving the usb modem? i hope that shakes the other telcos into following suit.

ciao!
BigBird replied on Aug 8th, 2008 at 8:34 am (15)

Can they offer a quality service for 999 or else its also a waste of money!?
bisoy replied on Aug 8th, 2008 at 10:36 am (16)

i bet sun’s network traffic would still worsen with this promo.

And now let’s pause for a break and think about at which time will the Sun Network cover 3G country-wide…
katexter replied on Aug 11th, 2008 at 3:07 am (19)

Sun’s corporate site now also has details for a 1.4Mbps unlimited plan for P1,999. I’m paying P1,699 for my BayanDSL with the same speed. I wonder if I can get the same speed with wireless?
scatterhaiku replied on Aug 12th, 2008 at 1:28 am (20)

this would seem like a great deal, if only i could trust sun to deliver on its promised service. don’t think i can right now though.

probably one of those services where i’ll wait a bit to see what the early adopters think, and if sun can provide the infrastructure necessary to make the service decent.

phriasne replied on Aug 21st, 2008 at 11:48 pm (24)

you know what the bottom line is? speed..service (bro!)

well, if sun could provide this.. well, maybe its a golden age for them…

(smart 3g is slower than dial up in areas.. poofff..)
Katz replied on Sep 5th, 2008 at 4:01 am (25)

Anyone who have tried this service already? SmartBro and Globelines S**K.
bernadeth replied on Sep 11th, 2008 at 6:43 pm (26)

all of you should first understand the terms and condition before signing in to this promo.. its unlimited hours but not unlimited data usage, this you should consider.. for those who loves bit torrent, sad to say but its allowed…

i recently signed up for this service. one thing i can say this is the best wireless broadband so far for me. i use to have smartbro prepaid the connection is very slow. used up my prepaid load so fast and can’t track it on their web connect subscriber site. also dealing with smart customer service rep is a pain in the butt.

adding to the speed of sun broadband, i can listen to last.fm internet radio broadcast without the signal being chopped up. you tube run smoothly. i could upload photos to my facebook account.

of which i can’t do with smartbro prepaid service that i had.

i like to commend to sun for this. cheers guys!

Sounds like a great one, however they will require the applicant to submit a proof of income. It also has a lock-in period of 2 years.
Hackerz replied on Nov 6th, 2008 at 9:53 am (31)

before you avail this seervice, verify first if your location is 100% full in this kind of service, sun have list of locations with there respective signal percentage.
