So here’s a unique way how Sun Broadband guarantees that you won’t get that “bill shock” at the end of every payment period with your telco. Start will a low and affordable price then charge a minimal add-on cost for every excess hours of usage and then put a ceiling fee to it.
The proposition looks enticing, especially for those who are on a budget.
Here’s how they’re doing it:
1) Subscribe to Sun Broadband Plan 350. That’s 35 hours per month for Php350.
2) When you exceed the allocated 35 hours, you get charged Php10 per additional hours.
3) Once you exceed the additional 55 hours, your bill stops at Php900.
Technically, once you reach 90 hours Sun will automatically switch you to an Unlimited Plan for Php900. The following month, you go back to paying Php350 again, unless of course you exceed the time allocation.
Sounds good right? I hope Globe and Smart follows the same billing principle for postpaid plans, especially when you use their Php10/30mins or Php5/15mins charging rate.
@abe Umalis ako sa Pilipinas ng end of March 2012 to get a job here in SG,my mistake,forgot to cancel my 350 lite broadband,,ngaun,pinapunta ko ung sis ko sa sun shop para ipa-cut na ung plan,ang sabi klangan ko daw byaran ung from march-july,khit d ko ngamit..tama ba un??? My habol ba cla kung d ko byaran?
Went to sun shop today and they said that this is no longer being offered. Smart is definitely starting to control the market….
@Sir Abe – Sun now made another Anti-Bill Shock take on unlimited SMS to other networks which will cost no more than P499/month. check this out:

@chocnutaddict—Thanks for the link!
Comparing this with My Super Txt All of Globe at P599, I would say that this add-on 199 is a better choice. Aside from being cheaper (unlimited text to all network at P499 only), Sun Add-on 199 is also dependent on the usage of its subscribers. So, if I only texted 1000 or less, I have to pay an additional P199 only! This is really an amazing offer for me! Good job Sun! I will definitely avail this product! ïŠ
Can anybody confirm if this would work on an iPad 2? Went to a Sun Shop earlier and the rep told me that the sim isn’t activated for iPad devices. I know it sounds absurd but I couldn’t risk getting a plan that I wouldn’t be able to use.
@Sabana – i know there’s a broadband micro-sim version that they can provision especially for you. Just ask for it.
Or you can always have your sim cut in greenhills :) But otherwise, I don’t see any way why it wouldn’t work on an IOS
i applied last october 8. until now, october 13, i stil cannot connect.
This is a good broadband plan from sun. Although we haven’t tried to use their service, we looking at a possibility that we’re going to get their broadband services soon.
Diniscourage ako ng agent ng sun mismo tungkol dito. Mas maganda pa din daw yun Plan 350 Lite kasi per minute ang charging at updated ka sa remaining minutes ng account mo. Unlike yung anti-bill shock plan na hindi ka makakatanggap ng update. Kailangan mo pang tumawag sa hotline nila para malaman yung consumption mo. So baka kahit 900 lang ang maximum bill mo baka ma-shock ka pa din.
Kung ako sainyo, bumili na lang kayo ng 3days unli P100 card nila. 24/7 for P1033/month lang. Magsipag lang mag-scratch ng card :)
I think 30 min blocks ang pag charge sa 35 hours. Kung tama nga ako, then I think flawed din tong plan na to. What if you connect 3 times a day na iba ibang oras pero tig-5 mins lang? Ubos agad yung 35 hours mo. I like Sun though, sun broadband unli gamit ko eh. Sana consumable yung lahat ng 35 hours tapos implement nila to sa mobile phones :D
haha medyo mali pala computation ko, that’s actually 23 days I think kung ganun. I mean panu pag multiple times ka magconnect sa isang araw, pero tig 5 mins lang. :D
Gano ba kabilis ang sun compare to smart at globe?
I agree! OK to actually.
maganda to kung per minute/continous lang yung 35 hours.ok to sa mga occasional internet users/downloaders.the best dito yung walang bandwidth cap.
brilliant indeed. mukhang okay to ha… any idea kung papano ang block nito? per minute ba or per 30 mins? or 30 minutes to be used within 2 hours?
I very much like this idea.. This benefits those who have erratic monthly usage.. meaning your usage fluctuates every month.. hmm.. whoever thought of it within Sun is one hell of genius. I am thinking of switching from Globe..
