There’s no information on which areas or cities (an agent says it will be initially available in selected areas in Metro Manila or NCR) SmartBro WiMax will be available and how it’s going to differentiate itself from its existing SmartBro Share-It or SmartBro Fixed Wireless packages (which offers up to 2Mbps).

    guys… lahat ng pinag-uusapan nyo ay wireless natural di ganun kaganda ang connection nyan… We are all connected around the world through submarine cable… —————– eto ang the best na gawin… kung makaka-connect ka directly sa SWITCH I assure you ang ganda ng connection nyo at no slow and intermittent… yun nga lang mga taga telco na techkie lang ang gumagawa nun pero di alam ng company nila…. hehehehehe

    Huwag nyo nang i-try tong walang kwentang produkto ng Smart. Ako nga, sabi ng agent malapit daw sa site nila pero ang bagal ng connection parang dial up! Ang masaklap, 24 months locked in period!

    Kelan pa kaya maaayos ang ganitong klaseng serbisyo ng mga ISP sa Pilipinas? Siguro tatanda nalang tayo, walang kwenta pa rin ang teknolohiyang gawa nila! Kaya tuloy, laging naiiwan ang Pinas!

    Yup sabi nila by October nga raw pero nang bumalik ang ate ko dun sa center nila wala na raw kasiguraduhan. Hindi ako naninira ng produkto kaya lang consumer tayo dapat maging sigurista hahaha, so everytime na pupunta kami ron palaging may nagsasauli ng Wimax hehehe :)

    Tsk..tsk..tsk!

    Your welcome…

    @Manila Talata,

    Salamat sa info. Talagang hindi na ako kukuha ng SBwimax dahil sa bad experience mo at ng iba pa.

    Isang friend ko who works at PLDT said, baka daw sa october mag reresume ang canopy type SB.

    Like you, I’ll wait for the canopy type.

    Thanks again..

    @http://www.ez-dollar-income.ws/

    Please do not ever get a SBWimax it will give you headaches and bad days! Based on our experience using this thingy grrr…

    Sa kanila na mismo galing na walang kinalaman ang CELL SITE kapag may SmartBroadband ka kasi through base station talaga ang pagkuha nito ng connection.

    Na try ko na kasi lahat ng SMART at Globe connections except PLDT and Wi-Tribe kasi wala pa sila dito sa taguig ng PLDT.

    We were waiting for canopy pero gaya nga ng sinabi ng iba “not sure” din. Kaya eto tiyaga kami sa Plann 999 na Plug-It Share-It.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi guys, I went to Smart the other day to supposedly get Smart Plan 999 with canopy kasi marami din akong positive feedback na naririnig from other users including my friend. But unfortunately on HOLD pa daw yon kasi naubusan daw sila ng canopy, totoo kaya yon or baka naman they just pushing the new products para mabenta?

    I ask the customer service, when they’re going to resume the fixed smartbro plan but walang definite answer.

    I was thinking of acquiring itong smart wimax kasi may malapit na Cell Site sa amin. Mga expert ok ba kumuha ng Smart Wimax na may malapit na Cell Site, gusto ko lang ma confirm bago ako mag acquire ng wimax plan?

    Thank you po sa lahat.

    Walang silbi eto, same crap with their smartbro usb/share it. been using their crappy service for almost 4 months. fortunately for me, may PLDT na sa area ko. Dont be fooled with their ads, puro lang yan marketing, sa totoo dili nila kaya ibigay yan.

    i’ve been a subscriber of smart canopy type yon sa bulacan year 2005 pa and yon sa quezon city ko naman year 2007 pa. never ako nagkaproblem sa connection laging hataw at naka router pa kami kasi gamit namin ito sa mga site office namin. pa check nyo lang mabuti sa mga subcontractors/technician na nag iinstall ng unit kc minsan minamadali nila pag set-up at pag hindi mo tinutukan at tinitignan habang sineset=up un pc bara bara nila gagawin yon kc marami pa silang ibang iinstall. the more na mainstall the more kita nila from smart. TIP ko lang isave nyo lahat un set-up nila thru print screen as jpeg para masundan nyo at pag alam ng technician na nakakaintindi kayo gagawin nila ng maayos.

    Hey guys I’m just sharing my SmartBro WiMAX experience.

    I’m monitoring my SmartBro WiMAX everyday and put the details or my experience on my blog here http://mysmartbrowimaxdiary.blogspot.com/

    I just noticed that everything is OK on my device.
    Signal: 2 to 3 bars
    Ping(google.com)Idle: 90 to 110ms – no request timed out
    Download speed: 125kBps max – using flashget or torrent
    Ping(google.com): 900 to 1100ms – a little bit request timed out

    but when I browse, most of the time I always get “The Connection has timed out”. It only means that their backbone system/base station/access point/etc.. is really the problem.

    Ito siguro ang reason kung bakit nakatambay ang van ng Smart sa base station sa labas ng village namin.

    About damn time!!! Sana open for more upgrades ang WiMax kesa 3G (which I believe has already reached its limit).

    Question: Pwede ba matanggal ang speed cap ng Smart WiMax?

    Hi 2 all most especially sa SMART hahaha! Well I’m a subscriber of Smart Bro Antenna (tama? hehe) last 2009,for first 3mos.the con.was good afterthen the connection started to hassle us, as they say “once in a bluemoon” ito nangyayari haha so after 1yr the SBro-Ant connection turned worst from 12nn to 7pm limited connection kami, itawag mo man o hindi sa CS wala rin silang nagawa haha so in short naka-1yr. and 4mos. kami sa SMART then switch kami sa GlobeWiMax “kuno” 1st hours of GWiMax sablay na agad parang yung nag-install lang ang pinakitaang gilas eh hehe, tinesting ko sa FB and YTube anak ng ang bagal magload ng page pati ng video sa YTube haha disappointed ako siyempre,..pero no choice eh!

    Sa commercial ang lakas ng Globe sa personal thumbs down! and according to the Globe Sales Agent it’s a free installation we only have to down 500persos anak ng pating pagkatanggap ko ng 1st bill ko sa GWiMax 1,800+ ang babayaran minus the DPayment lalo kong nabadtrip.

    So nag-decide akong ipa-cut 1mo.to be exact tutal naman sa kanila na galing na kapag di ka satisfied sa performance ng kanilang device este GWiMax eh may refund ka pa but when I went to GCenter de fungi nalaman ko na icha-charge ako ng x2 monthly bill for termination kung gusto ko raw ipa-disconnect kasi wala raw akong pinirmahan for 30 day trial!

    T***na nung agent sabi niya anytime, pwede ipa-cut pero wala siyang binanggit bout sa pipirmahan 30day trial nor offering the said paper thou many times siyang tinanong ng kapatid ko about other payments. Sobra na toh at sa sobrang asar ko ipina-terminate ko na, tado yung Globe Sales Agent mas lalong lumaki bill ko H****! bale 3k+ ang binayaran ko.

    Today, first 2 nights pa lang ng SmartBroWiMax ko pero once in a blue moon maging 2 bars yung signal, slow it’s like a plug it, nawawala-wala yung signal kainis pero kung comparison lang naman eh 1 bar lang katapat ng GWiMax na 3 bars na pero slow parin haha! Hindi ako biased because of my experienced I’m just saying the truth.Elib nga ko sa Globe kasi sa tawagan humahataw sa linaw ng linya eh.Nung i-demo samin itong SBWiMax before pickin’ up the kit the day after tomorrow, it shows 3 bars and the demo device was so fast but when I got my own SBWiMax device sakit din pala sa ulo! haha!

    So ito medyo mahal na toh pagpina-terminate hahaha! maibebenta ko bahay namin hahaha!

    Ask ko lang pwede ba ito papalitan ng ibang products nila same plan parin naman. Gamit ko SmartBroWiMax up to 2mbps plan 999 kasi slow eh!

    Sa Manila ko kaya imposibleng mahirapan ako sa connection.

    I’m using Smartbro Wimax ngayon, hirap ako sa signal kaya sa labas ng bahay ko nalang nilagay. nasa 2nd floor ako & meron building na katabi. mas gusto ko ang connection nito kaysa sa plugit kasi ang plugit ko ang download speed is less than 50kBps lang and ang ping is 300+ms maya maya meron pang Request timed out.
    ang ping ng Wimax ko is only 94 to 119ms & 2000+ ms kapag nag upload ako pero Ok naman connection walang putol kahit 2 bars lang nakukuha kong signal. download speed is 126.8kBps Max.

    Mas gusto ko din ang WiMax kasi ito na ang mas advance ngayon and sigurado sa susunod magiging 3mbps din ito.

    i have try globe wi-max. fair enough ang speed nya for 800 plans ata yun. the customer service okay din, magalang. ang problem ko lang is the connection after the typoon basyang. on the typoon day itself may connection pako plus after 2 days pa ng typhoon meron pa din. but on the 3rd day wala hinde nako maka connect. i keep on follow up my problem…we try to solve using the phone. they cant restore my connection, even 3 technicians on site na pumunta sa bahay they cant restore my internet. funny i have neighbor same globe wimax pero may connection sya. I cant really understand sa sya meron ako wala. they said na puno na yun slot to have a connection. i said panu yun slot ko dati. sira daw kaya hinde ako maka connect sa globe itself…the modem and connection sa tower is okay but the connection in the internet is not. so i tell the tech guy what should i do, they tell me wait wait lang makakaroon din yan. i have enough i tell them 10days nako naghihintay walang connection and your telling me to wait lang makakaroon din yan…eto im going to bring back their modem. and im not gonna pay them for the time na i didnt used. hope nakatulong sa inyo.

    How come there is already an announcement ad and press release but the details are hidden? Why not full disclosure of area coverage, bandwith cap and other restrictions? this telco, they give advertising a bad name!
