Launched just yesterday, Smart WiFi is a new broadband internet service which allows users to get connected wirelessly thru Smart’s cell sites. The only thing you need is an outdoor antenna to serve as transceiver on any of Smart’s hundreds of cell sites nationwide.
Maximum bandwidth is up to around 128kbps and promo price starts at Php788/month. It’s an easy and affordable alternative if you don’t have phone lines in the neighborhood. This is gonna be a big hit once they find a way to bring access down to handhelds and portable devices (read: Tungsten T5 & Life Drive).

SMARTTTTBROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Goodday to all SmartBRO subscribers. I have created a step-by-step procedure on how you can DO-IT-YOURSELF your canopy. Whenever you’re disconnected, you can point your canopy to other base station nearby. I have screenshots how to do it. It’s just simple. Just go to the url where the meridian guys always go to.
For complete details please see my article here: http://www.pinoyservant.com/YaBB.pl?num=1173350780
I hope this one will help a lot of smartbro subscribers. I believe this will lessen your calls to the scamming smartbro people.
Maraming salamat po. Kung may question po kayo sa isang step, just reply lang po sa board na yan. Let’s help each other. You may want to share the link to other smartbro subscribers.
God bless us all.
I am really fed up with Smart. Ang malas ko lang walang ibang internet provider na available sa area ko.
Akalain mo, isa pang palpak sa system nila, yung billing ng accounting naka-tie up sa connectivity natin.
Last March 8, nag-crash yung accounting software nila. Kaya kahit active pa yung account mo na-disconnect. Grabe. At dahil sa kapalpakan nila at nawalan ako ng connection, nawalan ako ng isang kliyente. Sumulat na naman ako to air my disgust. Copy furnished NTC, DOTC, as always. Ayun, kontodo apologize na naman ang mga peste.
Today I wrote another letter informing them that I am collecting all the times and details that they have let me down. And informed them that I will decide later on what I will do with the information that I will collect and already have in my possession.
Abangan….

My dear Co-Bloggers,
So musta na Kayo lahat?, “long time no write” nako dito eh, ehe since awa ng Dios eh naayos ng NTC ang problema ko sa SMART Microwave internet na yan!
Guys, I hope you will really heed my advice na sulatan ang NTC (ntc@ntc.gov.ph) at sabihin ang lahat ng details nyo, be as honest and detailed as possible ha kasi isesend nila ung letter nyo mismo sa SMART eh at titignan kung totoo.
pagkatapos nun magsulat kayo ng letter of termination & request to waive the lock-in fees. idetalye nio po lahat ng paghihirap niyo at iadress nio sa manager ng smart wireless center. kakausapin kayo nun at pagdasal niong pagbigyan kayo tulad ko po ehe
Good luck at God bless sa inyo na magpapadala palang ng letter sa NTC.
Sya nga po pala, bukod sa hindi nako pinagbayad ng termination fee eh natanggap ko narin ung full refund ko na P1,988 from the SMARt wireless center. Basta ba isuli nyo ng kumpleto ung antenna or equipments nyo eh. Mismong manager pa ng SMART ang nag-assist sa problem ko at prinioritize dahil nga sinulatan ko NTC at sinabon sila.
Awa ng Dios eh masaya na ang aking Bagong taon, at naibalik pa ung pera ko. hayy. sana lang eh makahanap naman ako ng stable pero mura na broadband ayaw ko na ng PLDT o SMART me phobia nako jan. Sayang di available Globelines dito sa Soldiers Hills, Alabang eh. baka Cable Internet nalang. ok kaya un?
Dibale mag-research muna ako para hindi na ako maperwisyo at maloko ng tulad ng SMART Microwave nayan ehe.
God bless us all, balitaan nyo ko sa pag-email nyo sa NTC ha. tyak akong headlines yan ehe.
Happy New Year to all
as always,
I’m your friend —- Fabian Santos (soldiers hills, alabang. muntinlupa)
