Smart has reduced it’s SmartBro Plug-It Postpaid plans to just Php999 a month of unlimited 3G internet; down from Php1,500 a month in October 2008. There’s a catch though.
According to Smart Customer Support (*1888), the new Unlimited Plan 999 for Plug-It is limited to speeds of up to 384Kbps. There’s a 24-month lock-in period as well.
Compare that to the earlier unlimited speed of up to 2MBps, that seems a bit slow. I was thinking if they had to cap the speed (like what Sun Cellular does with their tiered unlimited plans), it shouldn’t be anywhere below 1Mbps.
Update: Reports coming in that it’ still 2Mbps. It may not have been capped after all. Curious though why that pre-recorded voice on *1888 says it’s 384kbps.
Update 2: SmartBro website has been updated to confirm the up to 2Mbps bandwidth.
Speed : Up to 1mbps (fixed wireless connection) and up to 2mbps (Plug-it modem)
No. of Hours use : Unlimited
Requirements : Subscriber Application Form, Proof of Identification.
Total Initial Payment : Php 999.00
Lock-in Period : 24 months
“People, you don’t get it. Specially you Fred. Abe already inserted ‘updates’ to address the issues raised. There’s no need to edit the whole article.
Professional online writers keep their mistakes in an already published work to keep the balance and rely on updates inserted from time to time if a change is needed or to stand an info corrected.”
An ‘update’ is an ‘update’. Look it up on the dictionary. ‘Editing’ and making ‘corrections’ is very different from an update.
And I never said, or am forcing anyone to edit anything. I merely posted my observations that blogposts here usually don’t get ‘edited’.
And your last statement saying there is no need for ‘editing’ pretty much vindicates what I am observing.
This is still a ‘blog’. Admins can edit their posts anytime, if they want it.
Besides, how do you know if my post was posted before he inserted his ‘updates’ ?? The only dates are on commentator’s posts not on his blogposts.
Not here to argue. Just posting my observation and since I am a commentator here I am entitled to my opinion just like everyone else is.
