#Surf TV Review

Was able to borrow a demo unit of Smart's Surf TV and was testing how the internet TV box really works. Smart Surf TV is primarily for content consumption rather than content creation. The LAN port is also interesting since it could mean you can hook it up to your wired network at home and get it online as well (I need to try this out for the full review). I'll need more time to play around with Surf TV before I can write anything substantial or conclusive but so far, the device is promising. Globe Telecom is now offering volume-based mobile internet surfing plans with their Globe PowerSurf promo -- starting with 50MB for Php99, valid for 30 days. Here's the full pricing plan: Subscribers with Globe Postpaid Plan, My Super Plan, My Fully Loaded Plan, or My Super Circle Plan can avail of this offer except when you are on Load Tipid Plans, Load Allowance Plans, Globe Broadband Tattoo Plans or My SuperSurf Plans. The service auto-renews after the expiration date so you need to text PowerSurf Off to 8888 if you want to un-subscribe. So I looked at how Globe does their capping for unlimited mobile internet (SuperSurf) and found out that their Fair Use Policy has a somewhat similar strategy.
