Here’s some good news for people looking into budget 3G internet. Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband has upgraded its network to 3.5G (HSDPA) and dropped its unlimited monthly subscription fees to Sun subscribers.
Sun Cellular has upgraded it’s 3G to speeds up to 2Mbps. There are new subscription plans offering as low as Php799 a month:
Easy Broadband Plan 799
Unlimited Use
up to 2Mbps
Php799 MSF
One time charge of Php2,500
No lock-in period
Plan 799
Unlimited Use
up to 2Mbps
Php799 MSF
No initial fee
24 month lock-in period
Plan 999 2-in-1 Deal
Unlimited Use
up to 2Mbps
Php999 MSF
No initial fee
Free Plan 350 with handset
Lock-in period of 24 to 36 months depending on handset model
The Plan 999 looks like a good deal since you also get a free phone with a Plan 350 subscription. That practically makes your 3G internet fee just Php649 a month.
Existing Sun Postpaid Subscribers can also avail of the Wireless Broadband plan for an additional Php649 on their MSF.
Note: 3.5G speeds on Quezon City, Makati, Mandaluyong, Las Pinas, Paranaque, Bicutan, Pasay, Pasig, San Juan, Marikina, Valenzuela, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Cainta and Antipolo.

I tried un easy broadband plan 799 dito sa mandaluyong. First day pa lang na ginamit ko di na ako kontento kc sobrang bagal. I called to complain ay bumalik na rin ako sa sun office sa robinsons pioneer pero wla sila magawa na paraan at di nila ma explain. After one week may dumating na taga sun na technician. He foung out na ang problem is AREA PENETRATION. Di makapasok signal sa lugar namin kahit na maluluwag ang bahay, kalye, at mga lote dito. I went back to the sun office sa pioneer and sad to say na ang pwede lang daw nila ibalik e yun bayad na 799 for the plan. Yun 1595.00 payment for the usb modem di na raw pwede ibalik. Ask ko sila WHAT DO I DO WITH THE USB MODEM NILA E PALPAK SERVICE NILA? Ganoon daw ang policy nila.
BEWARE OF SUN BROADBAND. SINUNGALING NA MAGNANAKAW PA. P***** I** NILA. MALIWANAG NA HIGHWAY ROBBERY GINAGAWA NILA. MAGBEBENTA NG DI MO NAMAN MAGAMIT.
first of all :) di ka pinilit ng sun 2nd di ka nag survey sa location nyo 3rd and pinaka malala.. pagging ignorante mo..
sana nag check ka sa place nyo kung me cgnal b tlga or where is the nearest cell site haha… ang sun broadband ko plan 799 1.7mbps :) araw araw gs2 mo ng proof? papakita ko pa sayo thru cam 2 cam :)
ok naman sun broadband wireless dito sa UP yung nga lang minsan mabagal pero at least nakakakuha ako ng 700kbps sa torrent(private tracker) sa browsing ok naman walang problema. Online games medyo lag pag maraming tao sa iisang mapa(baka siguro server side narin ito) all in all mas prefer ko siya kumpara sa ibang wirelss providers
Mga Guys lahat ng USB dongle using 3G networks are good only for Downloading and surfing. But not good on ONLINE gaming And VOIP. Why?…. Because kahit ang Bandwidth speed mo ay 12mbps pa pero ang Latency mo naman ay more 400 millisicond wala ring kwenta you can still get slowdown… lag in online games… chappy audio in voice chat and VOIP..
Dont Pay attention too much on speed pay attention also to latency..
A 512 kbps with 50 millisecond of latency is better than … a 3Mbps with a 700 milisicond of latency… it is the high latency that causes the online games to lag less than 250 millisecond is ideal. Hope this helps
Wala pa akong alam na wireless service provider na nag o offer ng low latency connection sa pinas.
There are only Three most important Criteria for a good internet connection. this apply to Landline, Wireless,Sattellite. and Cable.
These are:
1. High Bandwidth
2. Low Latency not more than 300 milisecond below 250 millisecond is ideal specially to online gamers and VOIP user
3. High SNR -more than 6db Signal to noise ratio(for landline)High RSSI, low echo (for wireless)
Those are the basics for good internet connection
paki inform naman ako kung my internet connection sila sa lugar namin. H. bautista st., concepcion uno, marikina city
bumili ako ng sun broadband dito sa sm cebu para gamitin sa lappy ko, pagdating at pag test sa bahay, ang taas ng signal abot ng 97percent 3.5G pero pag gamit ko abot lang siya ng 30kbps, ang bagal hindi ako makapanood ng youtube kailangan mag antay ng matagal para mapanood, disappointed ako sa sun cellular, dito me nakatira sa lapu-lapu city ang connection nya ay hsdpa pero bagal talaga, wag kayo bumili para di masayang ang pera nyo,,,,,,,,,,,,

I’ve been using Sun Broadband Wireless plan 799
here in Quezon City. I’m expecting for a fast and reliable internet browsing because my location seems to be in the middle of Sun Cell Towers,
but things are not in the way it supposed to be,
my connection is always lower than the average,
resulting to a major major disappointment.

I’m taking this opportunity to vent a bit. I subscribed to Sun Cellular Postpaid Broadband since the store agent gave an assurance that it will give me a fast and reliable internet connection in Muntinlupa. Unang araw na ginamit ko ang product, hnd umaabot ng 100kbps ang signal. Tumawag ako sa customer service, they said magsusubmit sila ng ticket to resolve my issue. They promised na within 24 hours magbibigay cla ng feedback. Naghintay ako pero wala. The next day tumawag ako, on the process pa daw ang concern ko. I asked for a supervisor, the agent transferred me to Miss Alphie, Officer in charge daw sa floor. Sabi nya, ifoforward daw nya ulit ang concern ko and she promised to give me a call back within the day. Guess what? Wala akong nareceive na tawag. Third day, tumawag ako ulit sa kanila, tinanong ko ang agent na nakasagot kung bakit walang callback si Miss Alphie after nyang mag promise. Sabi sakin ng agent after 10 minutes siguro sa call na yun, nakausap daw nya si Miss Alphie at sinabi daw ni Miss Alphie na tumawag sya sa number ko, babae daw ang nakasagot at naliligo ako. E wala naman. Ginawa pa akong sinungaling. I asked to be transferred to Miss Alphie, nung kausap ko na sya, sabi nya ibang customer daw pala yun na tulad lang sa name ko. I then asked for a supervisor, sabi ni Miss Alphie engaged pa daw sa call ang supervisor pero tatawagan daw ako within the day ni Jay Dulap, supervisor nila. Same thing happened; I did not receive a call back from the supervisor. The next day, tumawag ako ulit. Nakausap ko ang isa pang supervisor, sa araw din nay un, I received a callback from a manager. Sabi nya, makakareceive daw ako ng call the next day from a technician for troubleshooting. WALA NA NAMAN AKONG NARECEIVE NA CALL. Fifth day na ngayon at wala pa ring resolution sa concern ko. Ngayon may kausap akong CS agent, 1hr and 33 minutes na kame sa call habang sinusulat ko to dahil hnd pa rin daw available ang supervisor nya.They keep on saying na naforward na ang concern ko sa proper department at maghintay lang daw ako ng callback within the day. Sino pang maniniwala????? In my opinion, Sun Cellular has a very poor customer service. What a shame.

-Typical call center brush off strategy.. hahaha.. ganyan talaga ang mga agents pag alam nila na their company sucks! Pusta Marc hindi talaga supervisor ang kausap mu. parang POC/OIC lang yun. it means that sya ang incharge pag wala si bosing pero agent parin yan.. hehehe.
Been also thinking of switching to sun broadband hoping to get the pocket wifi thingy. but when I read this blog.. Damn ill keep my mydsl na lang. hehehe.. uhm can anyone suggest a more bearable internet connection? I really like to download music, movies and videos (not using torrent though) im getting my movies at pspiso.com and music from limewire (have to be careful though, daming virus) hehehe.
mlakas po ba ung signal sa paranaque???i switch sna sa sun pero ok ba ung sun na yan…ksi nabasa ko sa mga comment nio …ayyy ewan…my negative at my positive….pero mas mrami ata sa _____…ewan…
3 mos. on Sun 799 on my Samsung Galaxy 5 with Android OS (also available on plan 999 with the same phone for free with calls – didn’t need the unli txt and calls so opted for 799 – wish I took the 649 instead cause the USB dongle needs the sim I put into my Samsung to work, I thought the USB was an independent modem) HSDPA speeds usually in Cubao, EDGE usually in Caloocan on weekdays and HSDPA on weekends, HSDPA in Novaliches, and I use SM’s free WIFI by registering my email in SM Cubao, Fairview, Novaliches, and North EDSA. Friendly customer service. Fast upload on home videos and pictures, fast download on zipped manga files. Satisfied customer.
SA LAHAT NG MAY COMPLAINTS SA SUN BROADBAND AT DE NYO MA PADISCONNECT DAHIL SA CONTRACT send me an email @ [email protected].
KAYLANGAN MAGKAISA TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO NTC. KAYLANGAN MARAMI PARA MALAKAS IMPACT
