San Miguel Corporation ha vendido recientemente sus activos de telecomunicaciones a PLDT y Globe, lo que incluye el tan codiciado 700MHz espectro. Si se preguntan cómo mejorará esto los servicios de las dos grandes compañías telefónicas, aquí está lo que tienen que decir.

PLDT/Smart:

* Las frecuencias adicionales mejorarán significativamente la calidad y cobertura de internet
* La frecuencia 700MHz se extiende más lejos y con mayor amplitud que otras frecuencias
* Mejor cobertura en interiores
* Permite un despliegue más rápido en áreas regionales y rurales

Globe:

* Mejor penetración de señal interior para una conectividad de datos más estable
* Mayor asignación de ancho de banda por cliente
* Alcance más amplio
* Tarifas más asequibles

En resumen, PLDT/Smart y Globe están diciendo lo mismo: la frecuencia 700MHz es la clave para mejorar los servicios de internet móvil que funcionan en 4G LTE. En cuanto a nosotros, los consumidores, solo nos queda esperar y ver.

Wow. Makapag-claim sila parang supported ng majority ng LTE devices sa bansa yung 700 MHz band. Ni sa devices nga na binebenta nila eh yung high-end smartphones (e.g. iPhone 6 or newer, Galaxy S6 or newer) lang ang may 70MHz support.

ganda nga ng signal mo pero data capped ka pa rin

CalebJosh · 10 years ago

The issue for 700MHz is the capacity, yes it can go further and can reach more users but it can only accommodate certain number of data connections due to its limited capacity. Unless Smart and Globe will increase the number of cell sites accommodating the 700MHz connections then it is good. But as per current situation that is not the case, they cramp their subscriber to a cell site, thats why they are imposing cap and we usualy can’t the plan’s promised speed.
Lower frequency = better distance, low capacity/bandwidth
Higher frequency = better capacity/bandwidth, shorter distance

Rico Ambles · 10 years ago

Ideally kasi, magkasama dapat yung higher at lower frequency na ide-deploy. Lower frequency as the umbrella frequency (or yung malaking area) tapos within it lalo na sa maraming users ay yung high frequency naman. Kaya BS itong claim ng mga telcos na magic bullet ang 700MHz sa pag-improve ng services nila. In fact, mas maganda for improved performance ang higher frequencies eh (drawback lang ang reduced range) though hindi made-deny na pag offload na rin ng yung additional low frequency band sa isang area with a high frequency band para di ito macongest.

Globobo as usual, master deceiver. No wonder CEO Cu-pal Ernest is losing hair.

more affordable rates does not mean lower rates.. gagawa lang kayo nang promo nanaman… 1piso/kilobyte.. affordable dahil piso lang pero taning mahal pag suma total..

stop this nonsense… if you really want to improve your internet services… 1st step to make is to lift off your internet data capping… 2nd increase speed… 3rd justified price… think of wider coverage(buying infrastructures to let you have more consumers to fools) after those first three steps are done… stupid telcos…!

Joke joke joke · 10 years ago

Parang ang totoo lang mangyayari dyan ay better indoor penetration and wider coverage.

D mangyayari yang magiging cheaper and faster speed.

This is too good to be true.

lini-loko lang tayo ng mga telcos na yan. ang kailangan lang ay increase the 2-3mbps na binibigay nila sa atin. doblehin or dagdagan lang nila ang mbps mga 5 or 6mps ay siguradong bibilis na. anu gagawin ng (LTE or LTE-A) kung ang 3g ay kakayanin ng 150mbps max. na hindi naman nadama or naranansan na full speed ibato nyo.
gusto nila na mag LTE tayo para magbayad ng lte price. at next LTE-A. doblehin lang ang speed nang 3g ay tuwang tuwa na ako.
full of marketing strategy.
u can save the consumer from buying a new phone. by just increasing the speed of 3g …. with the same package plan or price at happy na ako

HindiAkoIT · 10 years ago

alam mo ba kung ano ung 3g at 2g? alamin mo muna kung ano ibigsabihin ng mga yan. in terms of frequency, sana alamin mo muna. siguro naman naituro yan sayo nung highschool ka. natural kasama marketing strategy jan. pero mali ung sinasabi mo na pabilisin ung 2g at 3g. common sense lang. kung pwede pabilisin un. sana di na sila nagupgrade at magbigay nalang sila ng mga plan na pwede 3g at sobrang bilis. di na nila kilangan bumili ng technology at facility ng LTE. masmakakamura ang Globe at Smart don kung pwede pablisin ang 3g.

HindiAkoIT · 10 years ago

saka sa dami ng tao, tingin mo kaya kaya ng 3g? di lang ikaw gumagamit ng internet. isipin mo muna yang mga yan. bago ka magreklamo.

to see is to believe given their track record…if they implement peer sharing and zero tariff rates on calls and texts between their networks, baka pa maniwala ako…
