Poll: What’s your back-up internet like?

For some people, having a back-up internet plan is a must if they need to be connected to the net ask the time. Usually, back-up options are often cheaper, nomadic and portable.

If you’re one of those who carry some sort of back-up internet, go hit the comments and share with us what it’s like.

Mine’s pretty simple but more redundant — a Smart Bro Share-It (postpaid), a Globe MyFi (prepaid), and a Sun Cellular USB dongle (prepaid, with Sapido mobile router). Update: I forgot I also have that Bayan Broadband USB stick (postpaid) but it’s being used by my staff.

    My back-up internet is my celphone on Globe supersurf. I tried using Smartbro and even Sun just because it had a very cheap monthly-unli kaso lang it got so slooow that the web-pages would’nt load during peak hours which is also the time when I go online, pero considering its cheap appeal, ok ang Sun between 12 midnight up to 6 AM sa amin para sa mga magtyatyaga sa ganitong oras. Globe had the more reliable service in my area.

    i use a Globe Tattoo 3g Dongle, which is unlocked and openline.
    I first check the area where I will be using it, whichever has the best signal strenght sim, Globe, Smart or Sun i will use.

    My back up internet is my Globe Tattoo Broadband and my Smart Bro. Both of them are prepaid. My PLDT myDSL was upgraded from 1Mbps to 3Mbps and its been really reliable. I use my Smart Bro and Globe Tattoo Broadband everytime I leave home and there is no Wi-Fi around. I use them if ever I have to pay for a Wi-Fi connection. That’s why I’m a bit disappointed with some Starbucks branches were I have to pay Php 100 for an hour of internet. It sucks!

    Well, my back-up internet is my celphone. Been an iPhone with Supersurf subscriber under Globe. Now a Galaxy S2 with Supersurf. And I’m happy with it (except for Globe’s HSPA+ not reaching my expectations).
