Totoo mababait tlga yung costumer service ng globe..At mabilis silang omaksyon…Kinabukasan pupunthan k agad ng technician nila..Kso minsan tlga nag kakaprob din ang Globe Wimax..
Sino na ang nakapag try na dalhin yung GLOBE WIMAX sa ibang lugar..?
Plss! Answer!
I have a bad experience with smartbro…
Sila na nagbreach ng contract ako pa tinatakot ng mga lawyer kuno nila… Matakot naman nila ko eh every morning wala ako connection,lagi naman ako nagrereklamo at nag-eemail di naman sila umaaksiyon. Nakatapos at nakatiis na ko ng 1 year contract bayad ko lahat tinuloy ko lang ng 4 months pero ganon parin connection ko paputol-putol lalo na pag talagang kailangan ko. di ko nga bayadan yung 2 months ko makabawi man lang sa panloloko nila sakin sa mga unang months lang sila magaling pero pag kalahating taon ka na at marami ng user sa lugar niyo makikita mo iba na yung IP address na ibinibigay sayo ng server nila tapos paputol-putol na and then sasabihin nila nagmemaintenance sila… Maintenance everyday?Imagine malapit pa kami satower ng smart within the same barangay pa ha. ingat po kayo sa smart dito sa Bulacan 4 na kami nagpaputol ng smart nakakdala maganda lang siguro yan sa Manila. Di po ako employee ng globe or any telco’s ah…pero mas ok talaga PLDT DSL or Globe Wimax… di bumababa speedrate… Sa Globe mababait pa kausap customer service nila di mayayabang tulad ng mga taga SMART…
Actually Guys im using GLOBE WIMAX.. at nagtry ako mag speedtest same ng speed ang UPLOAD & DOWNLOAD..Ok naman sya mabilis… Pero sa tingin ko mas maganda ang Smart Wimax kasi kahit saan pwede mong dalhin.Lalo na pag nationwide na ang coverage.. Hindi tulad ng GLOBE Wimax Dun kung saan lang Ang location address dun k lng pwede…!
Guys pano ba malalaman kung wimax nga ang connection na binibigay ng telcos sayo? Baka kasi binigyan ka lang ng dedicated speed pero 3G lang pala…
Sabi ng iba pag wimax, kung ano yung download speed mo dapat halos pareho din ng upload speed… totoo ba yun?
guys ano mas maganda ung fix or yang bang wimax …. for me mas gusto ko parin ang canopy bec …. fix at hindi siya hasel saka pag takaw nakaw yan … like globe na wimax ang daming nagbebenta na nakaw… kaya masgusto ko ung canopy …… medjo alanganin yan wimax ….. ok sa ok pero hanggang kailan sya magaling……ahhh one more medjo hnd pa siya magandang gamitin kasi hnd pa nailalabas sa merkado this july pang ilalabas
Anyone who already tried Sun Cellular’s Digihome. I just saw this advertisement from newspaper.
Pa inform naman ako if ever.

my bandwidth ito???
P44599
could this be worth it?
Unfortunately for broadband subscribers, SmartBro ventured on WiMax before upgrading their 3G infrastructures and bandwidth. Some still get speeds extremely lower than their advertised 2MBps speed (for some, they’re lucky enough to reach 500KBps). Poor them and all broadband victims. :(
all I can say is… ang bagal parin ng speed and overpriced parin compared to other countries @-) I believe these companies can still push it to around 2-3 Mbps for a thousand pesos. :|
can i hooked it to a wifi router??? plss help!
hello guys! just want to share up my experience in wimax. currently im working here in Libya at sa company we’re using LibyaMax (Wimax), speed is quite amazing 2.5mbps download and I’m getting even more. The downside… you need a good signal basically your “location” is important, if your a gamer “ping” is a big issue here, and sorry guys sa tingin ko the same din dyan na share ang ip mo sa iba. This is just my experience
dynamic din sana ung ip? last time i checked witribe, static sya eh. kahit anong power off gawin ko sa modem hehe
Why settle for a lesser speed? Personally, I don’t see this as a viable option for on the go.
But like what Teknisyan said, 3 providers should be better for us than just 1.
the goog news is walang lock-in period.
I hope. the telcos would open their eyes and offer their customers with faster connections.
The Rate is the same but the speed is slower?
stick with smartbro upto 2mbps they should provide better speeds
WiMax and WiTribe would then be in danger
