Smart Broadband, a subsidiary of Smart Communications, today launched SMART Bro Share It, a wireless router with HSDPA capability.
The device is basically a wifi router and 3G/HSDPA modem in one.
Smart Bro Share It is available with a Plan 999 monthly subscription, which comes with up to 90 hours of Internet access, at speeds of up to 2 mbps in key cities in the country. Usage in excess of 90 hours will be charged P.35 for every minute.
Initial cash-out for the 12-month subscription is Php3,499, which includes the one-time payment of Php2,500 for the device, plus the first month’s fee of Php999. The monthly subscription fee is Php999.
The device can share the 3G internet with up to 5 computers. Of course, if you have a laptop, you can just follow this short guide on how to share 3G internet over wifi.

Smartbro Share it sucks! Don’t subscribe to them, magsisisi lng kayo. Walang kwenta ang letseng Smartbro Share it na yan, maniwala kayo.
Walng araw na naging mabilis ito, matutulad kayo sa king na magiging keyboard smasher!
ok sana ang smartbro kung sa ok kaya lang naka lock cya sa city kung ano ang nakalagay sa application mo. Nakaisa naman ang smart!
gez wat i cancelled my application for smart bro share it.. *lol* i got some suggestions from some of my colleagues and they are suggesting this 4G broadband from wi-tribe. hmm… let’s see… gotta update y’all… cheers!!!
Lint@k na SMART SHARE IT yan! Wag na po kayo mag subscribe if you have any plan. Sayang lang ang pera nyo. They’re not worth it. :(
beautiful stranger,
yep me cable xa na pwede mo ikabit sa desktop mo just in case hindi wi-fi ready ang desktop mo. Either way, mabagal talaga. Lalo pa ngang bumagal ngayon. Dati pag off-peak hours medjo bumibilis, nkakapanuod ako ng videos. But now, kahit 2am na, super bagal pa din. Di na talaga ko mkpanuod ng videos. Would you believe, there are days na di ko nga mabukas email ko. Focker talaga. Pardon my words. Pero yung smartbro canopy na lang ng kapatid ko ginagamit ko kasi 1 hour na dipa ngbubukas email ko. Calling techsupport doesn’t help either. Pare-pareho lang papagawa sau, delete history, restart router, restart pc. SO bago kyo mg-apply, please check nyo muna if someone in your area has it and kung malakas signal.
just wanna ask, my desktop it not wi-fi ready. ung router ba may kabitan ng network cable sa likod para you know i could attach it to my desktop so i could use it. =p cheers!
@ frustrated with smartbro
the agent told me that Smart will soon be phasing out the canopy. they will be pushing this share-it and plug-it (plan and prepaid)

really? maybe because of the location… that’s why you are experiencing poor signal. =p omg… please guys post post post your experiences about smartbro share it. i actually signed an application but i told the agent to hold it first. coz i wanna be sure that the product im getting would give me satisfaction. don’t wanna be burried in 24 months paying P999 for bad service.
hi guys. I just want to rant. P***na smartbro shareit na yan. 1 month pa lang ako gumagamit pero from the first day pa lang pinagsisisihan ko na. Nk-lock pa man din. Gusto ko man papalit ng canopy, no choice kasi me contract. Kapatid ko na kapitbahay namin nk-canopy and super fast so I thought 2mbps promise ng shareit kya mas mabilis to kesa sa kanya. And I have to say, mas mabagal pa xa sa dial-up. Di nga ko mk-download ng maayos kya sa kapatid ko na lang ako nkikidownload. Now gs2 ko mnuod ng drama online, which is nkahati na yung drama by 9mins each link, di ko pa din mpnuod. DI na nga ako mk-you tube eh. Waaahhhh!!! Kainis. Kahit na sana yung plug-it na lng kung pwede papalitan.
Stay away from smartbro shareit , they have same probelms as in first year of smartbro canopy..they dont know how to keep it working…i had it three months and only first 3 weeks was any good monday they get it back..
I’m currently subscribed to shareit. Sometimes I’m getting more than 2mbps and most of the times it’s really freaking slow. I don’t know what else to do. It has something to do where I live. I’m only getting a 3G signal instead of HSPA. Does anyone know a device that can boost my signal?
Hi, I’m subscribed to SmartBro share it. I just bought a hi-power signal booster wireless AP L-9186 from cd-r king. Can anyone help me with the installation and configuration? I can detect the booster pero walang internet, local only.
oi moonlight ganyan din nangyari sa akin.. tapos talagang madaling araw ka lang makakapag internet na maayos. pero pag katapos nun whole day nanaman na mabagal talaga everyday…
i am planning to subscribe to Share-It. But reading the above negative comments, I am thinking twice already if I still want to.
What if I subscribe and it failed to live up to its promise, then I cannot do anything because there is a contract/lock-in period of 24-months.. That’s pathetic.
Somebody share CONS and PROS please so I can decide.
Otherwise, DSL would be the most appropriate service.
THanks!!
Speed depends on the proximity of their antenna tower. Am in Makati and hitting more than 1 mbps.
who told you na walang magagawa ng mga plan holders ng Smart Broadband?
it is true, there is a holding period of 24 months; but are we willing to sacrifice our P24,000 for a speed of 0.03 to 0.06 mbps (in my case – Smart Broadband Share It – but never was shared)? i will be happy if it reaches 0.5 to 1 mbps at most but it looks na walang pag-asa
haven’t heard about the consumer protection?
false advertising?
we have agencies where we can place our “reklamo” like NTC, DTI, and DOJ.
After reading the following comments, satisfied na ko sa Canopy ng smart bro. Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit mas mataas ang max speed, less hassle installation, free wifi router ang shareit kaysa Canopy for the same price. For a few days now, I was planning to ditch my Canopy+TP-Link340G fixed spot only for the share it which can be placed anywhere in the house.
I’d stick with the hassle of having two devices for the internet together with the cable hassle of the Canopy para nalang sa Stable speed; 1 device solution pero pangit naman Internet performance.
