Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband: Unlimited for Php999!

Got a tip that the recently announced Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband service will be priced at Php999 per month with unlimited usage. Sun Cellular’s 3G will use a similar USB dongle. This is so far the cheapest and only unlimited 3G provider in the Philippines. However, since Sun Cellular has just started rolling out their HSDPA network, 3G coverage will be limited to several areas in Metro Manila.

    Hi. I subscribed to suncellular just 2 days ago. Feb 10, 2011. I was really excited to try their B200 router. To my dismay, their sim was notyet activated. CRAPPPP! I called their service 333 and the operator told me to wait for 24 hours. After 24 hours wala pa rin. shit shit shit….. What makes me really mad is when I talked to theri CSR he told me to wait for 3 DAYS!! hello, 3 days???? ang bagalng service ng sun! activation lang ng sim di nyo pa magawa?

    I’m taking this opportunity to vent a bit. I subscribed to Sun Cellular Postpaid Broadband since the store agent gave an assurance that it will give me a fast and reliable internet connection in Muntinlupa. Unang araw na ginamit ko ang product, hnd umaabot ng 100kbps ang signal. Tumawag ako sa customer service, they said magsusubmit sila ng ticket to resolve my issue. They promised na within 24 hours magbibigay cla ng feedback. Naghintay ako pero wala. The next day tumawag ako, on the process pa daw ang concern ko. I asked for a supervisor, the agent transferred me to Miss Alphie, Officer in charge daw sa floor. Sabi nya, ifoforward daw nya ulit ang concern ko and she promised to give me a call back within the day. Guess what? Wala akong nareceive na tawag. Third day, tumawag ako ulit sa kanila, tinanong ko ang agent na nakasagot kung bakit walang callback si Miss Alphie after nyang mag promise. Sabi sakin ng agent after 10 minutes siguro sa call na yun, nakausap daw nya si Miss Alphie at sinabi daw ni Miss Alphie na tumawag sya sa number ko, babae daw ang nakasagot at naliligo ako. E wala naman. Ginawa pa akong sinungaling. I asked to be transferred to Miss Alphie, nung kausap ko na sya, sabi nya ibang customer daw pala yun na tulad lang sa name ko. I then asked for a supervisor, sabi ni Miss Alphie engaged pa daw sa call ang supervisor pero tatawagan daw ako within the day ni Jay Dulap, supervisor nila. Same thing happened; I did not receive a call back from the supervisor. The next day, tumawag ako ulit. Nakausap ko ang isa pang supervisor, sa araw din nay un, I received a callback from a manager. Sabi nya, makakareceive daw ako ng call the next day from a technician for troubleshooting. WALA NA NAMAN AKONG NARECEIVE NA CALL. Fifth day na ngayon at wala pa ring resolution sa concern ko. Ngayon may kausap akong CS agent, 1hr and 33 minutes na kame sa call habang sinusulat ko to dahil hnd pa rin daw available ang supervisor nya.They keep on saying na naforward na ang concern ko sa proper department at maghintay lang daw ako ng callback within the day. Sino pang maniniwala????? In my opinion, Sun Cellular has a very poor customer service. What a shame.

    Mas maganda pa prepaid ng Globe or Smart. Globe ko kase nawala. Smart ko naman nasira. Sabi ko try ko muna prepaid ng SUN. . . Ayun pinkabulok pala considering intramuros lang ako. . .

    @Alfonso…no holding period kasi binili yung modem…forgot ko binayaran ko, mga 2.8K ata, no holding period yun…so far wala naman ako problema sa SUN Broadband, 2 years ko na gamit to! pero pag nasa southern part ako ng bansa, Globe gamit ko, SMART naman sa northern part…

  11. Avatar for Alfonso Alfonso says:

    How come you were granted “no holding period?”
    I am stuck to it for 2 years. I only started April. I am so sick of it. I inquired cancellation of my account before the 2-year contract ends, and I was informed that it would only happen in very rare circumstances.
    Kaasar!

    Ako rin grabe bwisit, madalas 0.00 ang speed, walang kwenta I thought it’s a good ISP that’s why I chose Sun rather than Smart or Globe, before subscribing I asked the customer rep if they cover our area (Cainta), she said yes so I paid the amount, now I’ve been using it only for 3 days and I’m thinking already to switch to PLDT MyDSL, I’m still lucky because there’s no holfing period on my service. =)

    Sa sobrang asar ko sa SBW na yan, minartilyo ko yung modem kasama yung SIM sa loob. Walang kwenta yung 2mbps na sinasabi nila… Gosh! Sa Sun pa naman ako nagtatrabaho… told it to their technical, sagot nya mahina raw talaga ang network infrastructure ng Sun Cellular, look at Sun Cellular’s towers compared with other telco’s towers na lang daw… Huh, ganun pala.

    I also have SBW. The connection was good for the first 2 weeks, ang bilis. but after 2 weeks, ayun na. nagsimula na ang nightmare. maski FB di ko ma-access pag gabi. There was once na nakipag voice chat ako sa YM at nakakainit ng ulo kasi di kami magkaintindihan ng kausap ko kasi halso 20secs delayed ang dating ko sa kanya!!! The sad part is naka-contract ako sa kanila for 1 year kasi naka-bundle sya sa cellular plan ko. with their mobile service, wala akong reklamo, pero sa broadband, grabe! I had PLDT DSL before at wala ako problem but I have moved from Las Pinas to Makati and PLDT said wala silang service sa lilipatan ko, whatsover. so i ended up getting SBW. I never tried calling their CSR kasi i know wala naman silang magagawa and iisa lang naman sasabihin nila kundi “I do apologize po,etc.”. Kawawa lang sila sa kin kung sila ang pagbubuntunan ko ng inis ko.

    Sana may mag pass ng batas about consumer protection lalo na sa mga contracts na yan. Ang hirap kasi once you’re in contract, mahirap na kumawala unless you pay them. But why pay them if you never got the service they promised you, right? It should be a breach of contract on their part kung di nila ma provide yung tamang service. Sana asikasuhin din sa Senate or sa House of Representatives yan, same thing nung inasikaso ni Manong Johnny Enrile yung ginagawang panlalamang ng mga Telecoms company sa mga prepaid users nila, hahaha! i think yun ang kulang sa PIlipinas, walang protection ang consumers against those, sa ibang country pag di ka satisfied sa service, you can terminate anytime or they will give your money back without any hassles. Sana someone will pay attention to this, it’s about time na magkaron ng pagbabago sa bulok na sistema at style ng mga yan!!

    I miss my PLDT DSL, if only if I can get one again, haysss!
