We were the first to break the news last week about the new Smart Bro Rocket 12Mbps so we followed it up with Smart today.
It’s now official and you can get the prepaid SmartBro Rocket for Php3,995 (no lock-in period but is locked to the Smart network).
You should also see this poster in stores where it’s available.
Internet rates starts at Php10 per 30 minutes and you can just use the normal loading system. The Smart Bro Rocket will be available for sale at Smart Business Centers starting Monday. Remember though, there are only about 154 HSPA+ sites across the country (Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, etc) so don’t expect it to reach 12Mbps anywhere else.
Note: You can check the complete list of Smart HSPA+ sites here.
I’ve been using this everyday since August, and i’m getting consistent speeds between 2mbps to a high of 6mbps on a good day. Unlisurf still works for me (50 pesos whole day, 200 pesos 5 days). On the status, it connects as HSPA, but there were a few times when I saw it connect as HSPA+. DL speeds are fast, skype is really good. Sites known for heavy bandwidth consumption are throttled down unfortunately (eg youtube, torrent). Hope the unlisurf sticks para sulit.
Tanga lang ang bibili nito. 12MBPS tapos Walang unlisurf ? Mabilis nga net mo, mabilis rin load mo.. SMART, Wag niyong gawin tanga mga tao
how much is this? I want to buy can you give me the cheapest but sulit in terms of speed? thanks
Sir Yuga ayos ba speed nito sa baclaran,parañaque city??
I recently bought SmartBro Rocket Plug-it and I’m happy to say that VPN would work with your rocket plugit! HOWEVER, when you follow your VPN provider’s information on connecting to the network you will get the speed of normal smart plug it. see… because the original profile of smartbro for rocket plug it has an APN of “smartbro” versus the APN suggested of VPN providers which is “internet”. The access point is different and probably the reason why surfing on APN-internet is slower compared to the default Rocket-APN
it sucks i got one super bagal naman.. kahit na may site sa lugar namin ng HSPA super bagal padin.. i hope soon maayos ng SMART to para di naman medyo nakakahiya sa mga subcribers.
Does SmartBro Rocket work on Mac Lion?
sobrang slow at mahal ng internet dito sa Pinas…sa Korea I have 100mbps tapos I’m only paying around P600 per month…unlimited pa yun meaning I can download GBs of movies and etc…na-miss ko tuloy ang Korea
And I bet peer to peer will be throttled down to 120kbps
