   Hi guys, I just want to ask about Sun Broadband Wireless. Bumili kasi ako ng Compaq laptop model CQ40-517TU, may bundle na Windows 7 at Sun BroadBand Wireless na free for 3 months. Ang problema after installation, tapos in-open ko yung program ng Sun, laging ‘the device is disconnected’, naka-insert naman nang maayos yung sim. Ano kaya ang problema?

   i been using sbw for a year now and i can say that this piece of shit is only good for using as browsing and email other that that you is iba talaga pag wired ,,,, i tried smartbro.. here in manila.. globelines sa makati.. and sbw here in quezon city… and all fail sa talagang speedtest. lalo na ang sun .. if you can see sa program interface nya eh me statistics.. after ng connection tab dun pa lang makikita mo na kung ilang KBPS ,,, TAKE NOTE!!! KBPS… lang ang kaya nya i download,, thats why you can hardly use it on picture heavy sites like facebook… youtube… now nag shift ako sa eastern … with landline and to tell you kahit mamatay man si gloria at ampatuan dito lang talaga ako natuwa… 1.5 mb ang promise nila including landline is truly mabilis talaga … kasi youtube lang naman ang pang testing at mabilis ang loading walang buffering… kaya if you like to try this shit… bahala kayo… iinit lang ulo nyo

   Ha’ay grabeng bagal ng Sun Broadband Wireless! Inabot ng 5++ minutes just to download google.com and 15++ minutes for this yugatech.com page. FYI Sun Broadband Wireless ang ginamit ko to post this reply… hehehe. Dito ako sa Dasma Cavite, 2G/Egde lang available, super bagal… AS IN! Samantalang sabi sa promotion nila 3G daw! Ha’ay naku…

   bottomline is

   Actual internet speed will depend on multiple factors like time of the day, number of simultaneous users, web page accessed, INCL. DOWNLOADERS.. ETC..

   Ako naman I just got the Sun Usb Internet. Mura naman kasi talaga at 799 per month at walang lock in period. Kailangan mo lang bayaran ng 2 months advance and yung usb modem. It’s also unlimited. Tama naman yung sinabi nung sales rep na umaabot ng 2mbps pero di naman siya lagi ganun. Unlike Globe tattoo na walang unlimited which is more expensive, yung Smartbro naman eh may 24 month lock in period. Pang surfing tolerable naman siya at paminsan mabilis naman, madalas nasa 200kbps plus lang ako, medyo masmabilis lang pag sa umaga or madaling araw. Definitely not for huge file downloading. I live in E. Rodriguez by the way, ok naman yung 3G signal, lagi naman meron. Don’t expect na kasing bilis nito ang DSL, dahil malabo talaga yun. Iba pa din talaga ang wired connection kasi mas consistent and stable.

Thanks to Kuya John who came here all the way from Ortigas… Grabe mas magaling talaga xa kesa sa unang nagsite visit kaxe inayos nya talaga yung settings ng swb ko. i’ve tried speed test and happy with the results. sana maging stable na tong connection ko at sana di ningas kugon ang good connection ng sun. kung magiging maganda ang service nila for a very long time d na ko magpapalit ng service provider. buti nalang c kuya john patient and magaling xa talaga magtroubleshoot take note! bago lang daw xa sa company pero naayos nya ung connection na dapat talaga na nakukuha ko since napakalakas nmn ng signal ko :):)

    buti n lng nagbigay ako ng ultimatum sa sun to resolve this slow connection issue in 1 week. and napatunayan nmn nila na okay sila….

    pwede ko nang ipanglaban yung speed ng connection ko sa smartbro hehe! kaxe ako pa lang ata ang user d2 sa village namin kaya nkakakuha ako ng 3.6 n speed sa speedtest hehehe :):

    4th day ngaun. and I’m so satisfied na. sana wag n mawala ung good connection. pati online games ko okay na. I play Dekaron nga pala. pinatest ko dun sa nagsite visit and mabilis nmn wlang lag :):)

    ganda daw kaxe ng specs ng pc ko and taas ng signal n nasasagap ko :):)

    @Problematic

    kaya lumalabas na “the device is disconnected”, baka hindi usb 2.0 gamit mo, delayed mabasa ng usb yung modem…kaya pag click mo ng sun dialog box, yan lumalabas…

    In case you read it well — it said “Fair Use Policy” and that included “downloading” and “torrent” files. Look it up under the contract you signed up for. If you want a broadband internet for downloading, go for PLDT MyDSL instead of Sun Broadband. If you want mobility and travel the country a lot, go for SmartBro. And if you just live in Makati area, Globe Tattoo will do. Other than that, for those still wanting to use to download movies and such — best time is from 3am to 6am. And please read more on how to manage torrents. The more seeds the better option to use in downloading. Seems like most people still don’t know that.

    hay nako! kung ningas kugon talaga ang sun ewan ko lang kung magrerenew pa ko ng contract!!! kung pwede nga lang n ipaterminate agad before 3 months ggawin ko n ora mismo e!!!

    will call sun again today re: their very poor service. sana maging stable nmn ang connection nyo. mukhang minamagic nyo lang ang connection pag may sun tech n pu2nta d2 sa location nmn e. and sana kung may problem sa servers s location inform the users by messaging them di ba kaya nmn makarcv ng messages ng swb?!

    Hi, pwede ba ireklamo natin to sa dti or sa ntc dahil sa service nila na hindi naibibigay? nagpakabit ako ng sbw 799 last dec 9, 2009, tapos ever since, lagi ko na sila kinukulit regarding sa slow connection. Alam ko naman na di nila maibibigay ung 2mbps connection, pero ni kalahati nun wala ako naexperience. laging 256kbps and below, kahit off-peak hours ganto ng ganto. lagi ako nagco-complain, pero sabi wala daw problem sa network, pero pag madami daw users expect na bababa ang speed. Ok lng sakin sana kung nakaka-browse pa rin ako, kaso lalong lumala, ngaun, 0kbps to 10kbps ang speed at kahit google, ang tagal mag-open. Wala na ako magawa dahil sa sobrang bagal.
    Tagal ko na nirereklamo kaso lagi lang nila ako ginagawan ng resolution at binibigyan ng reference number, last tawag ko naasar na ko inaway ko na rep, humingi ako ng supervisor kaso wala daw available that time. di na lang daw ako icha-charge dun sa time na nag-complain ako ng slow connection and sabi papapuntahin technician nila sakin para ma-check ung problem. pero hanggang ngaun wala pa rin pinapadala. I want to bring this to a government body or if not the media, para mapansin nila ito.

    Yesterday nagpunta ako sa sun shop nila sa boni, Mandaluyong. take note this is just walking distance from where I live. Sabi ng nakausap ko, di daw nila sure kung bakit di ako maka-internet sa bahay since malapit lng naman sa kanila. magpapadala daw ng technician sa house at pina-fill out ako ng written report to be submitted sa main office nila. sabi ko nag-file na rin ako ng report sa customer service nila sa phone last week pero wala naman dumating na technician. Sabi sakin ng kausap ko definitely this week magpapadala daw sila ng tao. I’m giving them until friday to fix this or else…

    as far as the connection goes, yung swb post paid ko okay na sya ngayon, nung mga first to two weeks ko ang worst, hindi makapg bukas ng email, hindi makapag open ng facebook, 3 hours na hindi ko p din ma open inbox ko, almost everyday na nga ako nag cocomplain sa sun csr, but then recently i got good connection na, kasi nilipat ko ng pwesto yung pc ko, i got up to 900kbps, pero unstable pa din ang connection..usb stick lang kasi,pero okay na din sya at least hindi na madalas mag 0, as inZERO bytes.. ngayon umaabot na ng 300-500 kbps. okay na din,ewan ko kung dahil ba sa every day ako nag cocomplain kaya na ayos o dahil lang sa nilipat ko ng pwesto yung pc ko..
    pero the best talaga ang smart dito sa area namin, taguig area ako dati din akong smartbro user, unlike sa sun sa smartbro nakakapag multi task talaga.. Go for smartbro kung taga taguig kayo.

    This is to inform sun cellular broadband that I am no longer satisfied with the speed of their internet, it deteriorates everyday, like for example today, i checked its speed by using speednet test on the web and the result was it only has a 38.9kbps.. no wonder i cannot even open my emails.
