Used to do mobile internet through globe prepaid then i switched to smart postpaid. 4 to 5 times faster ang connection ng smart. I never experienced being capped though. May times na mabagal o mahirap magconnect usually afternoon to late evening. but there was a month i even used 12g. Sa globe may daily cap na 800mb. That i experienced. Ewan lang kung ganun din ang speed at capping sa globe postpaid

Sun postpaid plan of unlimited internet 1699 for galaxy S3 has no data cap. Last sept. (1st month of my usage), I consumed 40-50GB bandwidth.

GLOBE & SMART LTE ULTRA FAST INTERNET SURFING BUT WITH A CAP. WTF? Whats the use of the fast internet connection if you put a cap or limit to the use of the service. Its really more Greedy here in the Philippines.

ray · 14 years ago

go globe? parang may data cap din kaya ung globe…haha they also have their own version of data cap eh,.

creative · 14 years ago

wtf?!?! 1.5GB Smart is such a joker! hahaha GO GLOBE!!

aleci · 14 years ago

Honestly hinde ko ramdam ang 1.5Gb/ month ng Smart. Kahit sa prepaid sa 50/day na internet hinde din. Unlike sa Globe with tattoo matuwa ka lang magsurf sa umaga ng kung anu anu buong araw mo sobrang bagal na up to the point na hinde na siya usable same with sa prepaid nila.

Migz · 14 years ago

hmm ok to ah pero sa bilis ng palitan at upgrade ng mga smartphones ngaun prang mahirap magpatali sa plans.

schyla · 14 years ago

Lock-in period is probably 30 months (same as the GS III) which is why it’s cheaper than Globe’s.

nrgacias · 14 years ago

mas mahal ang globe 2499 ang free sa note 2. http://www.globe.com.ph/galaxynote2

jmr_85 · 14 years ago

I’d get this, but I’d stick with Smart Prepaid…

Papapau · 14 years ago

God!

ang resolve ko masisira!

sabi ko my next phone is definitely gonna be a Nexus!!

Papapau · 14 years ago

1.5gb?? Hay salamat. How to cancel my filed pre-order kaya?

Nicker · 14 years ago

wow I’m so gonna get this! excited… globe so slow btw

Chino · 14 years ago

smart always offers nice top tier phones. but based on my experience with their “unlimited” data offer, their internet speed is just plain horrible. you’ll just be frustrated with their sloowww and sporadic connections. imagine dial up modem speed – it’s that slow. to add insult to injury, you’re locked in for 24/30 months.

wb · 14 years ago

well, i’m a smart plan 2000 unlidata subscriber and i can say that the data service has improved a lot since habagat. i can get 1.5 to 7 mbps on speedtest.net using my note in ortigas center. but i guess it really still depends on where you use your device.

Tae · 14 years ago

^using your note? wow…
speed really depends on where you use your note…

hahaha

joke

Papapau · 14 years ago

@Chino..

Nice signal sayo ah.. pero na-try mo na ba speedtest after ng 1.5gb throttling/cap? ano result? share naman.

Papapau · 14 years ago

@WB pala. erratum. hehe.

otis · 14 years ago

Unlimited @ 1.5GB a month.
Stupid SMART is stupid.

Radec · 14 years ago

Kevin · 14 years ago

I’m so excited to have this in my arsenal… what about yung globe meron ba nito?

John · 14 years ago

Ye. At 2500 a month for 24 months. Truly unlimited data.

Techjunkeez · 14 years ago

problema mo sa globe, ang bagal ng 3G nila. well, at least in our area where smart 3G is awesomely fast.

John · 14 years ago

No no. 1.5 gb a month would be horrible. Go with Globe’s.

Ghosthunter · 14 years ago

Just nitpicking…. :)

How could SMART call the data plan “UnLiData” when you’re limited to only 1.5GB/month?

Isn’t it supposed to be unlimited?

Techjunkeez · 14 years ago

Yeah I was supposed to ask the same question.

miongb · 14 years ago

You will get max speed until you reach 1.5gb per month. Beyond that, smart will throttle your speed, but you can still connect. So, unlimited pa rin :-)

I have been a smart data plan 2k for more than 1.5 yrs now, and i can tell you that di naman strict yung pagthrottle ng speed . Many time ss th e past more than 1.5gb nako, pero fast pa rin internet connection.

jose · 14 years ago

hassle yung bandwidth cap ng smart, pag naka 1.5 gb ka na biglang 50kbps na lang connection mo.
hindi ako nag FB or twitter, gawain ko lang online e ang manood/makinig ng mga podcast and dahil dun sa cap, di ka na makakanood ng live stream sa sobrang bagal. kailangan mo na lang i download and hintayin ng 2 days bago mo mapanood.
