Smart Communications recently announced that it is doubling the maximum download speeds of its Smart Bro Starter and Power Plug-Its.
The new maximum download speeds of the Starter and Power Plug-Its is now at 7.2Mbps and 12Mbps, respectively, under 3G and HSPA+ connections. “We’ve increased the top connection speeds of our Plug Its so that Smart Bro subs can explore more of the Internet on the country’s first and only 100% super-charged network,” said Smart Broadband Internet and Data Services Head Lloyd Manaloto.
The Smart Bro Starter Plug-It has a price tag of Php995 while the Smart Bro Power Plug-It has a price tag of Php1,245. Both Plug-Its are available in prepaid and postpaid. Take a look at the Smart Bro data packages below:

bat ganun yung sa connection status ng SMARTbro lte pocket wifi plus namin fake yung connetion status ng upload at download speed (http://192.168.1.1/index.html#home), compare sa network status ng computer, halos 2KBP/S lang!!!!. kahit mataas yung speed status sa ip ng broadband, sobra sa bagal sa browsing pa lang!
yung ststus nga umaabot ng 500kbps pagdating sa taskmanager>performance>resource monitor> Network status ng computer, nasa 10kbp/s lang yung received p/s!!! sa upload totoo yung count niya kasi nung nag upload ako match naman…

I called tech support to complain that although everything appears to be ok, I still can not connect. It worked well during the free 10 days but after that, I started getting slow connections. Now it will not auto-connect. clicking on the connect button does nothing. 5 bars, 3g preferred, w850+w2100.I reinstalled the smartbro app 3 times already, I tinkered with the services.msc for telephony, I played with the netconfig but did not solve it. I reinstalled my windows and it worked for 2 days, now i’m back to the same problem. Do I have to reinstall windows every time i will have this problem? tech support was of no help.
sayang binabayad namin sa unlisurf.wla kwenta connection nyo 1245 ang 12mbps hahhaha baka 12kbps wla talga connection. kahit sa madaling araw o hating gabi….. ayusin nyo nmn serbesyo nyo….
Smartbro 12mbps – No limit.
Swerte ka kapag may HSDPA ka sa location mo. 200kbps ang maximum sa akin sa torrent.
Just got Smartbro USB Power Plugit, but got installation error on WIndows 8.1 x64. Anybody encountered the same problem? How did you fix it? TIA.
Ako din bro ganyan din nangyari sa akin..windows 8.1 64Bit gamit ko..di mainstall ang driver ng SMART BRO WM66E ko na bago..hahay ano kaya gawin dito para mainstall sa windows 8.1 :( help naman sa mga nakakaalam.
Not really that patay sa connection. I use the power plug it. Well it’s not that bad if you’re a heavy user like me. I download movies in the early wee hours of the day so that it can have a download speed of 200kpbs – 600kbps (that’s in torrent so if i ran speedtest.net usually speeds are average of 2mbps – 6mbps)
I does not have any cap limit plus 5 days of internet with ave speed of 3mbs is not that bad . Usually in the day, it goes down lower than 1mbps sometimes even lower than 500kbps but i don’t mind.
It’s usually just in the location.
kung alam nyo lng dto sa pilipinas smart ang may pinakamabilis na serbisyo knowing na ang globe may limit ng 1gb/day ang smart wala yung download ko umaabot ng 1mbps… please wag BOBO ha basa basa rin kasi mga term and conditions kung minsan… gamit gamit rin utak binabangit ng smart na yung quality ng service is depende sa location…..
tama tong si sinosikatmbilis ang smart….
siguro nga mas mabuti tigil nyo na paggamit smart sim para mas lalong bumilis pa connection namin tutl BOBO din naman kayo eh d kasi marunong magbasa alam nyo ba ano ibigsabihin ng “up to” na salita? google nyo para malaman nyo wg magpaka BOBO
WALANG MGA KWENTA NA SERBISYONG BULOK…..SAYANG MGA BINABAYAD….MORE BULOK NA SERBISYO SA PHILIPPINES…. KABILANG TAU SA POOR BROADBAND CONNCTIO….. BULOK….!!!!!BOBO!!!! MAGALING MANGOLECTA NG MGA TAXES…
wala po limit ang smartbro kaso un nga lng pagkatapos ng free trial, bagsak na connection mo, ang free trial nila naka lagay ka sa IDLE, pag tapos na trial mo, patay ka na sa connection.
Yung first 7 days na free trial ng power plug it ko , mablis talaga umaabot sya ng 5mbps at take note 33% signal strength lang yan. Ngayon na naka unlisurf 85 ako ang max speed ko is around 300kbps lang, yeah its a 300KBPS………. regardless kung peek hour or not. and take note again its a HSDPA signal with 90-99% signal strength. Compare mo naman sa 33% signal strength nya. so sa tingin ko throttled ang connection pag prepaid kana!! so mag think twice ka muna.
Sa globe naman umaabot ako ng mga 7 mbps pero yari kanaman sa 800mb limit per day so useless din ang bilis
ehh yung Smartbro 12mbps? me limit ba?
sa globe mag time50 ka na lng.. Wala ng limit.
may cap din ba ang smart bro power plug it? ung prepaid na 10pesos per 30 mins? tsaka kumusta naman ang speed usable ba sya ung ok ang surfing and download?
Manloloko talaga SMART. Di ata marunong umintindi ng ingles mga yan.. san ka ba naman nakakita UNLIMITED (call and text like there is no tomorrow – ayon sa website nila) tapos di ka makatawag kasi lampas na sa limit call mo! WTF!
Alam ba ng DTI itong Unli promo ng smart? Unli with ‘cap’!
Pag di naman uminit ulo mo ah!
Smart is BS now. i found out the unlimited plans have a bandwidth cap. so essentially, it’s not unlimited.
Na dali rin ako nyan ng myBro Fair Usage Policy
Sobra bagal talaga… Boo!
Smart Simply Annoying….
