Speak and Surf is Globe’s answer to Smart Bro?

yugz,
plakitingnan yong NWC ko. forgot my pw sa client support.

Mahal pala yun monthly, masahol pa sa smartbroken yata to!!! Tiis na lang muna ako sa smartbulok , hintay na lang ng wired ISP provider dito samin.

Anyone who can help me on how to pay my bill on speak and surf, ive already try asking globe center here in olongapo but they say that “hindi daw nila hawak un” ask the dealer who gave the unit! actully its true “may nag house to house dito sa location namin, about the speak and surf “

SA CASE KO PAG NAG OPEN AKO NG WEBPAGE MABILIS AYOS ANG BURST SPEED ANG PROBLEMA PAG NAGDOWNLOAD AKO NG SOFTWARE 9mb LANG 1 1/2 HRS NA DI PA TAPOS 7KB LANG ANG TRANSFER RATE ilan araw ko na itong dinadawnload di ko matapos tapos dahil mas marami pa ang 0bits kaysa nagreregister na kb sa net stat
nireport ko sa *1888 as usual normal daw ang base station at data ko
anak ng pating 9 mb lang yong dinadownload kong software ng yahoo 1 1/2 hrs na di pa tapos sasabihin nila normal humihingi ako ng field support hagang ngayon wala pa

well gamit ko ngayon ang speak and surf im in mindanao ave novaliches, ok ang phone i can bring it with me in my car and ok naman always nakakatawag ako even when i am in basement. Yung Internet connections is much better than smart bro it averages from 120- 180 kbps at the most pag bumaba ng 70 papababa up to 35 reset mo lang papalo uli unlike smart bro bulok to 75 lang average

dati grabe ang connection ng smat bro namin patay sindi parang x’mas light meron wala meron wala, ngayon medyo nag improve kunti lang. i also apllied for globe speak n surf kya lang grabe 3 weeks na di pa ma activate dami na kong twag puro wait 4 avtivation 24hrs. magiisang buwan na wala padin haaay naku.

TAE GLOBE SPEAK & SURF! nagsisisi ako baket nag-apply pa kami nito.

huwag kayong kumuha ng globe speak and surf learned from my experience . . .

hindi kayo makakadownload sa rapidshare at megaupload dahil isa lang ang IP address nila . . kung ilan ang user’s ng speak and surf . . . .

yung din ang magiging katunggali mo sa pag uunahan magadownload. . . paktay kang bata ka

Hi Sugar.. Interested with your Globe Speak N Surf, kindly email me at longb****@****.***

speak and surf sucks,sobrang sayang talaga yung binayad ko dito sa globelines, sobrang bilis magkabit,yung 24 customer service nila paulit ulit lang ang sinasabi,

activation pa lang may problem na, isama mo pa ang super slow na internet(slower than dial up)
fluctuating kasi ung hsdpa dito,tapos hirap sa outgoing, yung incoming meron nung una pero puro visayan callers, nagkaroon kasi ng number swithing yung number ko sa visayas, really sucks talaga… i will not pay for this bad service kahit magkademandahan na

nung nag hahanap ako ng ok na ISP, hindi ko nakita itong site na ito. We just applied for Speak And Surf, 2 weeks na.. wala pang nangyayari sa application. Sana hindi na lang kami nag apply kung alam ko lang na ganito mang yayari. Pabalik balik kame sa pagtawag sa Hotline.. wala pa ding improvement. Globe Stinks!

Sana ang speak and surf may software or tools na mada-download para ma-fix yun problema ng mga subscriber na di na kailangan ng tech support.

may i know if antipolo is part of speak an surf areas?

ei, do u know panu unLock ung DDD ng gLobe speak n surf… cant get support from globe eh

grabe! just using globe for a few days grabe! ISP Bonanza dial-up is even faster in attaching a very small, 83 kb Word file in Yahoo mail. I was eventually dropped with my globe connection so i just turned off the modem and re-attached my phone connection to dial-up na lang! GRABE TALAGA! I cant believe they sell this stuff even if its a lemon! I contacted my agent pero wala reply. I HOPE GLOBE GETS THEIR ACTS TOGETHER ON THIS ONE. Sayang talaga…

I agree with indie. Something’s got to give with Speak N Surf. Globe shouldn’t be so stupid in just letting this service ruin the good reputation of their entire organization.

Whoever had masterminded this service should double his or her effort, as the DSL war was particularly strong this year. As I post, I was given a standing offer to move over to a wired DSL connection. I’m now tempted to consider their offer.

I’ve prepaid my SNS to cover 3 months. This will be the best time for them to improve its service, or its gonna be goodbye to them for me.

Hi!

I just got my SNS unit Tuesday last week, July 3. After testing our place for signal strength and after paying 995 pesos, they left with us a Globelines phone and a ZTE MF 600 HSDPA modem. They also told me to wait for a week (or 5 to 7 working days) before my account gets activated.

When I tried last Saturday or barely four days after we got the unit, I was surprised to find out I can already make calls. I tried calling landline, mobile and long distance numbers, all were working. Then I tried connecting to the internet and it also works.

Since then we have been using the service especially the internet connection with some short disconnections. I tried placing the modem in a place where I believe there is strong signal and since then I have not encountered any connection problems. Download speeds range from 400 – 500 ++ kbps while upload speeds range from 40 – 60 kbps.

There is an indicator in the MF 600 called RSSI (Radio Signal Strength Indicator) which according to the manual should be turned-on constantly before making a call or connecting to the internet. Ours was not turning-on at all except for a short time after I turned-off the modem and turned it on again (reset). This gave me the impression that my account is not yet activated.

I reported this observation to the agent who sold me the service but received no reply. It is working well so I really did not mind it at all. I am thinking of buying an external antenna for this modem.

Globelines (or Innove) offered this service to only 30 residents in Soldiers Hill Village here in Muntinlupa. We have been using the service for five days now and so far so good.

We are living near a PLDT switching office so I tried of applying for MyDSL. Apparently they have run out of facility so they are pushing instead Smart WiFi (then) and Smart Bro (now). I actually have an approved application from Smart Bro and all I need to do is pay the 999 initial payment for my service to be installed.

I guess I will not be pushing for Smart Bro as we are currently satisfied with our Globelines SNS. With all the bad press Smart WiFi then Smart Bro has been getting plus their termination clause (which requires you to pay for the remaining months of the 1 year lock-in period) really turned me off.

Globelines SNS has a lock-in period of 2 years but will require you to pay for the equivalent of two months service fee in case you wish to terminate the service within the lock-in period. This coupled with the bundled phone line makes Globelines the better choice in my opinion.

Hi!

I would like to ask if anyone here has a working setup for connecting the ZTE MF600 HSDPA Terminal (given by Globelines) to D-Link’s DI-524 wireless router?

I bought the wireless router to share my internet connection. I was able to make the connection work by connecting the MF600 to the switch port 1 of router. I also changed the admin address of the router to 192.168.0.2 so that it will not conflict with the MF600’s IP address. I also turned-off the DHCP functionality of the router. This setup in effect has turned the router into an ordinary switch.

I would like to have the setup work by connecting the HSDPA terminal into the WAN port of the router not switch port 1 (where you connect other PCs). If anyone can share information on a working setup like this, will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks.

tae tlga nagtataka q d2 sa speak n surf halos 1 week aq wlang connection ts nagreformat aq pagkatapos n pagkatapos ng reformat q putcha biglang nag connect ..at ganda p ng speed ah…bt ganun? ano connection nun dun e may sariling configuration ung modem/router non db… tsaka ask q lng kung pano b makadownload sa rapidshare e kc prating you reached the maxcimum download limit…

Hey Dude!!

Speak N’ surf is really suck!! super bagal na inis talo ka pa sa service nila, kung gano kabagal yung connection nila ganon din yung service nila..

Nakakapag sisi… Payo lang kalimutan nyo na magpakabit nito. mas ok pa ang dial-up.

Naloko na naman si kawawang Juan dela cruise!!!

TO the TFC subscribers i would like to thank you for supporting………
ano nga ba GLOBE OR SMART BRO by the way mmmm… wala kmi paki alam sa away or competion nyo dalawa network nyo basta ako bnabati ko lng ang mama at papa ko thank you sa comment

btw, for your speak and surf concerns, you can forward it to ****@****.*** to Engr. Edgardo Cabarios, Director of the NTC-CCDA

Potah n Speak n Surf ang bagal bakit ganun walang kwenta mas mabilis pa dial-up d2 eh Tang ina nyo globe kakapal ng muka nyo ang mahal nyo mningil bulok nmn internet nyo

I am disgusted by Globe Speak n Surf and Globe 3G SNS. My struggle and agony with them has been going on for several months, and would like to complain to the NTC, if possible. Can someone guide me what the process is? Preferably someone who has gone through the process before.

I have all the dates and details necessary to build a case.

Thank you in advance.

wag na kayo mag-aaply ng Globe Speak and Surf… sa una lang maganda ang connection, pag matagal na, nagputol-putol din, walang kwenta, sayang lang ang binabayad ko. mabuti pang nag PLDT DSL na lang kami!!!! grrr! may lock-in period pa sila, walang kwenta talaga!

na-observe ko sa mga ibat-ibang forums may mga SmartBRO topic na kung kaka-install lang ang smarbro mo mabilis ang data transfer but after few weeks or so, biglang bumagal daw, i don’t know the cause.
here’s one suggestion i found in one of the forums that i read para mapabilis kahit papaano ang surfing ng may mabagal na connection. try the OpenDNS, configure DNS to 208.67.222.222
alternate DNS 208.67.220.220 observe nyo kung may pinagbago. sinubukan ko yan pero almost the same lang sa speed ng DNS server ng digitel kaya binalik ko na lang sa original DNS ko.

try this one…
connect ur MODEM to WAN port of the router…
connect ur router to ur switch hub port1…
connect ur workstations to the switch hub port 2 and succeding…
then from the configuration of ur router…
change ur routers ip to 192.168.1.1
then make ur workstation ip config to… automatically obtain ip address…
try this it might work…
by the way im using also dlink router^_^

smart vs. globe

actually i havent tested yet smart bro.. but i had applied 3 times to them… they tested the connection to my place and they say my spoce is being block by a condominium… so its not advisable to get their service… and now i have tried and tested globe wireless broadband with ZTE MF600 modem for 3weeks until now… its good on single pc internet access… for games and internet surfing… its Download speed ave is almost 250kbps+and upload speed ave is 50kbps… compared to dialup 56kbps max download speed and 100kbps+upload speed… before i am using tryisys postpaid account… and sharing it upto 6pc… and dail up works good for games but when u add surfing then the connection is s**ks..

ideal speed for internet surfing 512kbps+ download speed…
ideal speed for ONLINE games 200kbps+ upload speed

as of now im waiting for globe to upgrade their systems for wireless internet access…

maybe they’ll do something about this^_^

can anyone help me to extend the antenna of ZTE MF600… i want to put it outside our house to get more signal… im trying to research to make a home made antenna for it… any suggestions… by the way… the connector that is being used by the antenna of the modem is not available in the market… were can i buy that kind of connector…

yheng… inde nga merun ka?? how much naman.. kaya bang i afford ng mga mahihirap yan^_^ hehehe…

by the way… ok sana ang Globe Speak and Surf eh..
kya lng potek ngaun under system restoration daw sila.. and hindi naman nila sinasabi kung kelan matatapos… monitor na lng daw… pot@… mag iisang bwan na ako monitor ng monitor eh… gusto ko pa naman speed nia for surfing.. un lng tlga talo pag dating sa ONLINE games… napaka baba ng upload speed nia almost 50kbps lng compared to dial up tryisys pumapalo upto 100kbps… pero ok speed ng downloading ng SNS lalo na pag maganda SIGNAL… sarap mag download ng mag download ng mga applications and games… hehehe… un lng ingat sa virus ha… OIST MGA BOSSING NG GLOBELINERS… PAKI BILIS NAMAN NG SYSTEM RESTORATION NIO… MAG IISANG BWAN NA TAPOS DARATING NA NEXT BILLING KO LAGI PANG DOWN SERVER NIO…

Wired vs Wireless Globe Broadband Connetion:

Wired:
Average speed mostlikely upto: 512kbps
Average Download Speed mostlikely upto:70kbps
Average Upload Speed mostlikely upto: 90kbps

Wireless:
Average speed mostlikely upto: 300+kbps
but can reach upto 700+kbps on good signal
Average Download Speed mostlikely upto:35kbps
but can reach upto 100+kbps on good signal
Average Upload Speed mostlikely upto: 50kbps
the same lng kahit maganda signal…
un lng^_^ hehehehe

i havent yet tested the Smart bro connection pero sabi nila nag iimprove din daw ata…

sana mag improve pa wireless broadband ng GLOBE
kesa mag lagay ako ng tatlong tubo para itayo
ang antenna ng Smart bro sa bubong tapos 500 php
pa singil ng mag kakabit every tubo na idadag dag.
mag ka signal lng.. haysss tao nga naman…

ok cge mga bro’s and sis… GUDLUCK na lng sa pag pili ng mga ISPs

isang advice lng… CHOOSE THE BEST AMONG THE REST
hehehe… tys po
GUDLUCK to all!!!

OOOPPPSSS GLOBLINES… WAGKALIMUTAN AYUSIN NIO NA SERVER NIO.. mga bwakanang….. mga ano nio^_^ hehehe… joke lng tys ulet

hey!!! mag globe na kau mganda na ngaun ang globe unlike dati nakakainis nabasa ko mga comments pang mga luma nalang talaga!!! enjoy na ko dito sa globe sulit na talaga!!! hahaha!!!! may konting topak lang talga pro ok na!!!!

astig talga globe.. wahehe

d2 kasi sa place namin ala ng prob sa mga connection
connected ako 24/7 ….

im using 2mbps plan sa Globe… kasu nga lang ung unit ko.. hindi hiwalay yung phone at modem … magkasama sila….

even raining is no prob… dahil ok na daw yung baud rate di2 sa valenzuela…. kaya indi na masyadong makakaranas ng disconeection… ewan ko lng sa ibang lugar…

———————–

im using Smartbro nung nakaraan lng…
that ISP sucks… laging disconnect….

pakshit talga sila… magsara na nga sila…

actually kaya me nag apply ulet ng smart bro dahil sa upload speed… comparing smarts bro’s 100+kbps upload speed to a 50+kbps upload speed of globe 512 wireless broadband… yes mas mabilis tlga ang download speed ng globe wireless minsan umaabot hanggang 1mbps upto 1.3mbps… pero minsan lng yan^_^ hehehe pero ang upload speed walang pag babago… the reason naman y gusto ko rin ng mas mataas na upload speed is for ONLINE games…. pero i think mas in demand ang internet surfing kesa OL games so isang tabi ko muna OL games focus muna sa internet surfing…

kya lng… bwisit na ko sa smart bro… hayss.. biro nio 4 times na me nag pakabit… and for the fourth times sinira pa isang pc ko habang kinakabit ng installer potek…. yesterday lng napalitan ung unit… pero kulang… and ung monitor nde pa pinapalitan… hayssss… kaya globe na lng ako… yoko na smart baka the fifth time bahay ko na masira… bwahahahaha…. any ways gudluck sa ISP hunting^_^…..

kainis.. .5 months na ko sa globe ano ba tong cdma na… walang kwenta…

asa rooftop na ko ganun pa din ung speed…

ni hindi ko ma-access ung router site.

3 months na akong subscriber ng globe 3g broadband. simula ng naging subscriber nila ako may mga problema na kagad pero ang maganda lang dun kasi aminado sila na may problem talga sa main server nila so sinasabi nilang “i,m sorry for the inconvenience speak and surf 3g wireless is currently undergoing system maintenance”. siguro sa loob ng 2 buwan ko may mga ganyan akong na experience kadalasan straight 1 week na sira server nila for 3g HSDPA. then simula noong dec 16 2007 nasira nanaman ang connection ko ganito ang nangyari. pag inopen mo ang yahoo nagbubukas ang unang page pero kung maglolog in kana page cannot be displayed na. ganun din sa youtube di ka makapanood ng video. so ng nangyari naging selective na ang browsing ko kasi may mga site na halos di ko tlga maopen na. tumawag ako sa customer service ng globelines tapos ang sabi sakin wla naman daw network restoration sila tapos ok naman daw account ko. then wla naman daw silang report na may problem ang wireless 3g nila. so nagtaka ako kung bakit ganun untill now ganun parin ang nararanasan ko actually ilang beses ko ng tinesting sa ibang pc at laptop pero ganun parin. and then last wednesday pmunta dito technecian ng globelines sabi sa modem daw na ZTE kasi dapat daw tinatanggal ang battery kasi nakakasira daw pag sobrang mainit na. so ang ending pinalitan nila ng modem, pero wla paring pagbabago. so since until now may network restoration daw sila kaya ang ginawa ko sinet ko nalang sa GSM MODE ang modem ko kaya ako nakakapagnet using GLOBE GSM EDGE connection ang bagal nga lang.

Sa mga may ganitong problema sana magshare din kau ng mga experience nyo then mag feedback kau kung ok na connection nyo sa 3G BROADBAND nio ng globelines…

Hay naku for termination na connection ko kay Brotherhood. D na kaya pasensya ko. Unang pumunta contractor para irepair nga itong buwiset na connection ko sabi kailangan itaas ng 10ft pa. Nung tinanong ko kung may charge ba yun sabi meron daw. Mura lang naman sabi sa kin. Tumataginting na 2,000.00 pag kanila tubo. Pag ikaw bumili labor 800.00 may bayad pala ang repair ng defected service.Hahaha. Nung tinatanong ko kung ano guarantee na pag dinagdagan eh aayos ang connection sagot tingnan naman daw nila bago ikabit. Hahaha ulit.. So nagdecide na talaga ako ipaterminate. Tapos nagpunta kami sa center para iformalize na nga termination of service pero nagkaron ng suggestion na patingnan ulit pero ibang contractor then pag hindi pa rin ok ska magdecide. Sa madaling salita pumayag kami. Pagdating ba naman d2 nung gagawa eh yun pa rin dati nagpunta. Susme.. Hmmmmpppp, Kakagigil talaga… But in fairness to my ISP, mahigit 3 buwan ko rin sya nagamit ng matino bago nagluko.Sabi nga pala nga pala contractor bka may tumakip daw between ISP antenna and my antenna. Kaya lang very poor ang after sales talaga. Cguro tama nga sabi nila na its too young for wireless technology para magbigay agad ng maayos na serbisyo. Cguro mga 3-5 years pa bago tumino. Sa wired ISP muna ako. Matigas kc ulo ko sana nakinig ako sa advised.

kung meron lang sana background sa data communication at priciples of wiereless communication mga user ng wireless internet, cguro ma minimize mga problema.

good signal lang naman or less noise ang key para maganda performance ng wieless data devices.

konting basa at aral lang para maintindihan natin ang problema, share natin mga magagandang natuklasan natin. mas productive kaysa puro bato ng reklamo.

maparaan naman tayong mga pinoy, di ba!

d ako naniniwala 380+kbps upload speed mo, ang max upload speed lng for 512kbps bandwitdh eh 128kbps, so kung 380 ung sau nde kapanipaniwala, at wireless pa gamit mo, kung wired yan pwede pa cguro, and about sa wireless technology, nde naman tlga need maintindihan ng end user kung pano gumagana ang wireless technology, ang kailangan lng nila is ung quality service, ung katumbas ng binabayad ng end user, so ang pinakamagandang connection pa rin is ung wired, dahil sa wireless nde ka makakakuha ng consistent bandwidth

Hay naku bagsak na naman connection ko. 220up and down. Wala talaga…

mahirap paniwalaan ang 500plus para sa smartbro.. nakakakuha me ng 400-450 pag bandang 12-4am na yan…. pag umaga hanggang 10pm nasa 90-200 lang ako

speak and surf really sucks… alam nyo ngyari saken, almost 2 months na di activated tpos me dumating na Bill, Wow! Astig din tong mga to! Manigas kayo HUY!

FUCK YOU GLOBE!!

hi nko..lintik na wireless globe yan..sumasakit n ulo ko….super bagal….nagsisi ako, bkit ako nag switched ng ISp…haay gudluck n lng skin, 1 yr pa contract ko…

gudluck sa pagpili ng ISP

Oh look its 7am, time to RECONNECT me, right?
After being KICKED OFFLINE FOR OVER 5 HOURS.

“Lets kick off our PAYING customers when we think they are asleep, so we dont have to pay for running our machines.” FUCK YOU!
STOP CUTTING ME OFF ASSHOLES!

sa una lng mablis ang globe…akala mo ok na ung internet pro pag tumagal na sobrang bagal..mahina kac ang signal ng globe kesa sa smart pro panget dn ang smart kaya mag PLDT na lng kau d2 sure ako na mablis at affordable pa….PLDT is the #1 internet source of the country…..

kapag yang mga telecom companies na iyan eh nag insist na padagdagan ang bayad para gumanda ang service (ex. padagdagan ba naman ang tubo ng smart bro for 10ft. for 2000php?) sabihin niyo “teka, binayaran na namin yan nung nagapply kami ah… diba kasama na yan dun sa 995?”

and then kapag tumawag kau sa CS ng smart, globe, SKY, bayantel, or kung ano man na ISP sabihin niyo sa operator na kausap niyo

“Naku, ganyan naman lagi cnasabi niyo eh, pustahan tau dun sa susunod mo kausapin, sabihin mo, naku sir, paki ping nalang po ung blah blah blah. paki check kung umiilaw ung modem… at ito pa sasabihin nila, paki monitor nalang po for the next 24 hours”

naku cnagot ko nga siya doon sa cnabi niya na un na pakimonitor for the next 24 hours. sabi ko

“naku, ang tagal niyo ng cnasabi yan.. hindi ko na nga alam kung anong pagmomonitor ang gagawin ko… 15, 17, 22, or 32 inches na monitor”

hehe… asar…
