The tip we got earlier this month about Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband was spot on. New mobile 3G packages are now available at the Sun Cellular website announcing attractive rates.
Sun Cellular will be offering flat rate plans, the only other unlimited 3G plans in the Philippines today (PLDT WeRoam postpaid plans also offer unlimited 3G services, though only for corporate accounts).
Sun 3G Plan 799
up to 400kbps
60 hours/month
Php799 MSF
Sun 3G Plan 999
up to 400kbps
unlimited
Php999 MSF
Sun 3G Plan 1999
up to 1.4Mbps
unlimited
Php1,999 MSF
*The Sun Broadband Wireless service is initially available in the Metro Manila only.
sun broadband is a crap! first month ok yung service. sobrang mabilis syempre para di ka agad madissapoint, then another month came at ayun, palaging 0.00 kbps. at this moment walang signal as in green light di sya maka connect. i already called sun broadband and inconsistent yung sinasabi nila, yung isang csr sabi walang problema sa kanila, then i called again coz the first csr advised me to uninstall first the unit, then i-try ko daw ulit pagtawag ko syempre iba na yung csr sabi naman may problem. anu ba talaga..di naman pwedeng magbayad ng monthly pag palaging ganun yung service nila. kaya dun sa balak mag avail ng sun broadband think twice.. pag di pa rin ok signal the next 24 hrs ipapacancel ko na yung service at hindi ako magbabayad ng termination fee!
talk to my lawyer.
SBW prepaid ay mas mabilis compare sa SBW unlimited…nga lng…minsan nag ddown ung connection…ung prepaid umaabot 200kbp sa torrent and direct download ung unlimited..aw nde man lng umabot ng 50kbps sa torrent and direct download speedtest.net damn its half a 1mbps wahehehehe weirddddddddddd
Bkit ganun yung SBW. Fullbar yung HSDPA signal dito samin, peru pag naopen na ako ng site and download speed 0kb – 30kb lang ganun ba talaga?.. ang mahal pa naman ng modem.. hmmp…
ask ko lng bakit pag ngcoconect ako merong message n ngpop-up… error 619: a connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed.

Paki-try nyo empty yung windows temp table:
1. Click Start, click Run, type %temp% in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the Edit menu, click Select All.
3. On the File menu, click Delete.
4. Click Yes when you receive the following message:
- Are you sure you want to send these items to the Recycle Bin?
5. Verify if this resolves the issue.
I just singed up for sun broadband postpaid last month. The USB modem is P1600 and they charge P800/month. I’m at the Makati waltermart area, and when I bought it the sales rep told me I was in an area with an okay signal.
Pros:
- no need for any paperwork to avail, just a valid ID
- did not see any disconnection issues
- consistent connection speed (unlike w/ Globe Visibility sometimes you browse fast and sometimes not at all)
- if you like to stop using their service, just apply for disconnectin and throw away the sim and get a prepaid Sun sim. Then if you want to use their postpaid service again just get a new sim
Cons:
- forget about torrent downloads unless you are VERY PATIENT
- consistently below average browsing speed, you may as well forget youtube or huge file downloads
- if you’re out of metro area you’re dead
Conclusion: if you want something fast for downloads get a DSL line account (like PLDT or Globe). If you want fast wifi and good coverage get Smart Bro’s USB modem (thought I know it’s only prepaid). I _have_ used Globe Tattoo for only a few hours and found it fast, but saw a lot of bad reviews online. But if you want a cheap “I always want to be online for facebook, YM and email” account that you can put in your smartphone and will be using in Metro Manila then Sun fits the bill.
Nagsubscribe ako sa sun 799 Unlimited. I paid the router also. nung first days ng subscription OK naman. I only have 1 laptop and 1 desktop sharing sa WIFI. nakalock ang wifi so that means ako lang nakakagamit. Pero after a week of usage, madalas magdrop ang download speed ko sa 10kbps. Tapos ang bagal magsurf ng mga sites. Even my blog takes 3 to 5 minutes.
i have Windows XP Professional in my desktop and Ubuntu in my Laptop. I am located sa MegaPlaza Ortigas Center.
Anyone who can give me tips to have a faster connection? i am not a Youtube fun or any online streaming things. I am a web designer and all i do is code, surf and upload my projects.
Note: first 2 weeks, I always have wcdma but after that, all I have is HSDPA and that connection gives me 40kbps maximum.
have the same problem few mnths ago the solution is you can bought a usb extention for your broadban and it should be 2.0 mas maganda kung mga 3 meters or 6 ang bilhin mo sa cdrking pangkatapos mas maganda kung ilalagay mo ang sun mo sa malapit sa bintana at mataas na lugar mas llakas ang signal nyan or pag mabagal pa rin pumunta k n sa sun center
Sana magtuloy-tuloy pa yung magandang serbisyou ng Sun Super bilis ng Connection umaabot sya ng 3.6mbbps
astig sana punuan nila ng 3g site sa buong metro manila para maka-avail din yung mga friends ko ng murang internet at bilis more power sa inyo Love you all
Globe at Smart samin Bulok
sa lahat nang nka globe at smart bayan tell pldt na internet lumipat na kayo sa Sun Broadband P1000 ang monthly nya internet at Landline phone astig!!!!!!!!
3.6Mbps pala tawag dun
is anyone experiencing connection dropouts every 5 seconds with sun broadband ngayon?
every now and then kinokonek ko yung broadband ko kasi wala pang 5 seconds dc na agad! nakakabwisit.. ok naman sya since a month ago. yesterday lang siya ngkaganito. ano po kaya ang problema? wala naman naiba sa lahat ng settings ng pc.
I’m having problems with running Sun on my Macbook. It works ok with my PC laptop (which is what I’m using now), but when I tried to use it on my Macbook, I couldn’t get a connection.
Has anyone experienced the same problems? Any tips or help will be appreciated.
ang bagal naman isa lang pinapanood ko narutowire lang inabot ako ng 4hrs for 29min of video. ano ba naman yan.
kelangan mo i pa postpaid para hinde magdidisconnect bro
ano ba naman to……… 0.00 kbps lagi. sobrang bagal…….
Kamusta naman ang DL speeds dito?
Being a former Digihell subscriber, who experienced Download Capping/Upload Capping(P2P, youtube, veoh), high latency in games,
Always disconnected Dsl, curious ako if nagbago na ang Digitel/Sun.
Wag po yung Speedtest results since companies are not stupid enough to cap those. I’d be more interested in DL/UL speeds with Http/FTP/P2P and others. Currently using Smart Bro Canopy and satisfied pero need ko ng isa pa.
my maintenance ba lagi ang swb? bkit habang tumatagal bumabagal ang connection ko.. 4 wiks ko plang nagagamit..
napapasukan ba ng virus ang SWB USB? kasi pag sinasalang ko ang usb tapos nag hu hung ang pc ko then auto shutdown na sya … ilang ulit ko na reformat ang pc ko pero ganun pa rin … nag pa try ako sa cust service ng sun pero ok naman sya … meron po bang ganito din and prob? please share … bukas papatingin ko sa tech
tang inang globe yan scammer sila sinisingil nila ako sa monthly ng globe eh matagal ko nang pinaputol yun Nobyembre pa ng 2009. tapos tatawagan ako sa bahay may bill daw kaming aabot sa 3k wala man lang padalang sulat samin amputa, ibang klase din pala kayo mang scam ng costumer nyo tapos my hidden charge pa kayo, eh hinde ko naman napakinabangan yung internet ninyo, eh lahat ng browser ko hinde ko mabuksan
SBW prepaid user here. how come nasasayang yun load ko kakakonek sa sun and i’m always getting 0.00 kbps??? when i bought the device nung december with 180 free hours, satisfied naman ako sa performance. ayos pa yun connection ko kahit ilan beses na kong nagload ng 1-day unli.pero the past two week na nagloload ako ng 1-day unli, hirap na hirap na kong makaconnect. kelangan pang gumising ng madaling araw para magamit yun “24 hours” internet daw. kasi by 6am mawawala na naman yun connection at buong araw na yun na intermittent. sana naman ayusin ng Sun dahil nakakaloko yun promo nila.
