A tip from a reader shares that Liberty Telecoms is gearing up to be introduced commercially this November providing WiMax connectivity to cities of Mandaluyong, San Juan, Makati and Quezon City.
An announcement from this website says the telco is giving out free 2-month trials starting this month.
If you are from Mandaluyong, San Juan, Makati and Quezon City please leave your name, wireline and mobile number to: gobeyond3g@gmail.com or call us @ (02) 346.0921 and 0922.853.4880.
We already have 3G, WiFi and fixed DSL in Metro manila so introducing WiMax as an alternative is a welcomed idea. I am not really sure how true this trial service is but you can always call that number above to verify. Thanks to Arvee for the tip.

I’ll definitely look into this! Thanks for the tip Sir Yuga!

ciao!
sayang wala sa rizal

Its the next big thing in broadband industry!
SUN conquered the mobile industry. I guess it’s high time for Liberty to become the next big thing. after all, it’s a SAN MIGUEL CORP. hehe rock on!

San Mig Tel!
They should’ve got a real website, though…
Baka kasama naman ang Ortigas. Kasi some area of Ortigas is part of Quezon City and borderline ito ng Mandaluyong and Pasig. So baka makasagap pa rin ang Ortigas center ng Liberty.
Nakikita ko na kung panu nila gagawan ng promo ito…
Get a chance to win 1 hour free internet on your WiMax prepaid account! Just a buy any san miguel beer product at tingnan under the tansan for the free top-up/loading pin number!

their main page… http://gobeyond3g.webs.com/
says they are looking for dealers. but they discriminate – only 35 years old and below ?!
Don’t get all excited on all “free trials” of the world. Don’t hold your breath, it is WiMax only.
Even Americans seem to let WiMax go and start focusing on LTE and everything else in real 4G.
This technology is passe, even though the two large ones are working on same technology. The last little one, well, its not part of this competition anyway.
Good luck!
Ah almost forgot:
“We are looking for Netizens, internet savvy or computer geek individuals [35 years old and below]”
And then they do not have proper web site and use Gmail address!!!!? How internet savvy or professional is that?
35 years old and below? And only they are supposed to be seasoned business men as well as internet savvy computer geeks? In USA they would face massive law suits for the age discrimination. Also they seem not to understand internet or business at all.
Again, good luck.
Another one to rant about.
I don’t get it. Miguel was right. Why get a free webs.com account instead of a real website? We’re talking about BILLIONS of Philippine Peso-investment of SMC and here are their “supposed” marketing people, cutting cost on promotions. I just really don’t get it.
Something is wrong in the picture. Or MAYBE that the owner of the webs.com is NOT connected with SMC at all. Just my two cents though.
How ’bout this for some interesting reading, from their site http://gobeyond3g.webs.com/news.htm

(quotes, supplied)
“The company said it will primarily focus on providing fixed broadband internet and voice service to premium households and small-and-medium enterprises and complement it with a mobile broadband offering.
In particular, Liberty Telecoms is hoping to provide high bandwidth for upper and middle class households, SMEs and high-end mobile users.”
Actually, I find this snobbish pitch a turnoff.
I have a clarification on my earlier post. I was pertaining to the owner of the free webs.com site (www.gobeyond3g.webs.com) and NOT the owner(s) of Webs.com. :p
Hey hey calm down.
First of all, this page ISN’T SMC nor Liberty’s official website. This is maintained by a Sales Agent (I’m not sure though if this agent came from a contractor).
And yes, WiMax isn’t new to the US in fact they already have 4G and is starting to develop LTE Advanced technology which would deliver upto 100Mbps wireless data transfer. But this is Philippines, everything is delayed, especially in terms of wireless connections. From crappy HSDPA providers to limited WiMax capability (Globe WiMax offers only upto 1Mbps download speed while in the US, they can offer upto 40Mbps).
Let’s just hope this new service provider manages to bring us such speeds and reliability and top off all other telco’s limits and capabilities.
Why don’t they try it out in the provinces? Like here in Cavite. It will be a good alternative to the hit-and-miss mobile internet services currently in offer.
[...] the rollout of Liberty Telecom’s (San Mig Telecom?) free WiMax Trial at my place. Thanks to a post from Yuga, I might get 2 months worth of FREE & FAST Internet service (wishful thinking). I was able to [...]
I’m hoping this new ISP would set new standards on broadband technology, especially on reliability and customer service. If not, kawawa naman ang Pilipinas, “Choose your own poison” nalang talaga.
Naku naman hirap ng wireless technology sa pinas, they’re all premature (broadband, HSDPA, 3G, WiMax) Wired DSL padin FTW
