Looks like Smart Bro has upgraded the bandwidth allocation of their Plug-It broadband sticks and now offers up to 5Mbps.
I’ve been hearing about the upgrades for some time now but since the Smart website did not reflect the changes, we had to wait for the official release.
The update has just been posted recently, showing this table.

The Power Plug-It is now up to 5Mbps (postpaid). The Starter Plug-It is now up to 3.6Mbps (prepaid).
Of course, actual speeds will vary with time of day and location. It’s going to be pretty hard to validate this but if you get better speed results recently, do leave a comment and let us all know.

Nothing change! Really NO power at all!! just changed my old smartbro usb plug-it with this Power plug-It up to 5 MBPS kuno. still my daily connection is far way below 0.11 mbps esp from 10AM to 10 PM. Take note, i never ever experience to receive at least a maintained 0.30 mbps connection daily. Speed always go below that and and i haven’t seen my connection went up to at least more than 3 mbps kahit power burst speed na makita ko man lang yang 3 mbps na yan…WALA! and now they’re saying up to 5 mbps??!! ow common..false advertisement again..hope magkaron ng law abt this..kasi isa etong fraud or tuwirang panloloko sa mga subscribers! will not renew anymore, cannot tolerate the daily nightmares this poor connections have caused me. major major disappointment!!
