Smart LTE Plan 3500 confirmed!

Do they have a coverage map? One thing i don’t understand about the Philippines is the lack of coverage maps.

Just telling me the LTE location doesn’t show me the coverage or explain how far out i can go before i have no signal.

I remember one time i went and asked where the 4g signal was and how strong or where the weak areas were and the answer was ” if you have 4g then its working” which is a stupid answer, on globe all my 4g speed tests are less than 2Mbps down which is not in any way 4g…….. its hardly a 3g speed

sana wala tumangkilik. so they will re-think about the 10gb cap. kung nung 2005 10gb cap baka pwede pa now isang malaking kalokohan na lang toh. :(

correct me if i’m wrong but 10GB is just equivalent to 32.5minutes of use at full speed of 42mbps.
it doesnt makes sense and simply not practical

10GB, more or less 4-6 HD movies lang, no thanks. =)

dapat ganito ang package nila. 3500 pesos a month at say 5-10 mbps. For a limited time only, while supplies last, the first 10 gigs gets a free speed upgrade to 42 mbps

yun, mas maganda pakinggan. lolz

Too bad, it was too good to be true anyway

Waiting for globe’s move…please give smart some competition @-@ lower the prices!

10gb @ Php3,500? Good luck to them =))

Well, practically, you need faster speeds because you download more. If limited lang sa 10gb ang 42mbps, sayang ang P3500. Di ka rin naman nakakasiguro if within the range ka ng 42mbps na speed. For sure baka di ka nga umabot ng 10mbps eh. Yung ngang 3g speed na up to 3.6mbps depende din sa location. Normally di ka aabot ng 1mbps. Considering na mas madami cellsite ng 3g kesa sa lte, I really doubt this one. Bahala na yung mga early adopters. Makibalita nalang tayo sa review ng mga magsusubscribe. Hehe

Not even enough to download Battlefield 3!

10gb won’t be enough. We have the 3mbps from Bayantel with a 15gb cap and we always go over the limit a bit. All we do is FB, surf, and sometimes Youtube.

hahaha.

how can you live more with a 10gb cap?

this is like having a 10sec car but you only have 50 meters of driving lane. tsk tsk tsk. i’d rather have a regular broadband speed with unlimited bandwidth (sun cellular)

10 Gb per month?! what a joke. Ano ang sense ng 42 mbps kung 10gb lang

Not a good deal. Especially to online entrepreneur like me.

burn in hell smart communications!!!!
burn in hell LG mobile phones!

If you compare the bandwidth to price ratio dito sa Pinas sa ibang bansa, you would be surprised kung gaano kamahal ang internet service dito..kahit i factor out mo pa ung purchasing power parity ng peso..super expensive parin grrrr..+ my cap pa..kalokohan.

@Calvin
di ko binasa yun article yun graph lang. pero base dun sa graph sa pinost mo 42mbps na unlimited is only around 78$(3.2k php) while 42mbps with 10gb cap is around 45$(2k php). e di lumalabas na mas mura pa din dun???

10GB? PUTANGINA SMART

pareho lang sila ng sister company nyang SUN CELLULAR! 3.6mbps daw pero di nila nilalagay sa ad nila na 2AM-AM mo lang marereach ang speed na to! KALOKOHAN!!!

COMMENTS:

-10gig a month nowadays is crazy.

-Even if they double the cap to 20gb, it still seems too low. I don’t see the point of having that much speed if you’re limited in terms of the bandwith. Browsing speed wouldn’t have a lot of difference between a 3mbps connection and a 41mbps connection.

-42Mbps can eat up 10GB in roughly 30 minutes of continuous, contiguous data transfer. Spread that out over 30 days, and you might as well just be on 1Mbps.

-42 Mbps capped at 10 GB per month? That’s not SMART.

-precisely, what would you do with the speed and have a cap?

-10 GB/month? No way.

-i can use that 10gb within 2hours. 3500 for a 2 fast movie streaming. id rather buy dvd copies!

-10GB a month at P3500/month? Too rich for my blood.
What’s the point of having phenomenal speeds like that when you cap it at 10GB a month?
either way its a bad move for smart having limited for 10gb.
Like other muggers said, its not practical. The reason why people even need faster speed,
is to consume more / download more.
You don’t need a 50mbps speed just to do internet surfing and twitter.Doesn’t make sense

-target market would probably be those who wanna show off LTE tech to friends.
for the next 3 hours at least. then he gets to show it off again next month
for another 3 hours haha
