If you are wondering why there's no cellular signal around Quiapo and neighboring areas from Globe and other telcos today, it's because they've cut off signal for security reasons as we celebrate the Black Nazarene. The request to cut off cell signal in those areas could be a precautionary measure (probably to hinder remotely-triggered bombs). We haven't gotten any SMS alert from Smart or Sun Cellular yet as of this time. A new poster ad from Smart Bro promotes their broadband speed to be up to 2Mbps. I fired up several internet bandwidth meters, hooked up my Smart Bro Prepaid account and positioned my laptop to get an HSDPA signal. It's finally here, Smart Bro is now offering unlimited 3G access for a monthly flat rate of just Php1,500.
