Launched just yesterday, Smart WiFi is a new broadband internet service which allows users to get connected wirelessly thru Smart’s cell sites. The only thing you need is an outdoor antenna to serve as transceiver on any of Smart’s hundreds of cell sites nationwide.
Maximum bandwidth is up to around 128kbps and promo price starts at Php788/month. It’s an easy and affordable alternative if you don’t have phone lines in the neighborhood. This is gonna be a big hit once they find a way to bring access down to handhelds and portable devices (read: Tungsten T5 & Life Drive).

We are many and we should all be heard. I made a page on facebook called ‘Smart Bro are Thieves’, because it is the most common description made about Smart Bro and their bad service. If you are unsatisfied with their service, please visit and like the following link:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Smart-Bro-are-Thieves/186484471397266
Smart Bro may not want to listen to us, but at least the world will know the truth that SMART BRO ARE THIEVES!
this web site was how do i say it… relevant, finally something which solved the problem. Thanks
can i ask something?
how are we going to lock our smarbro?
like in mcdo or jollibee?
I just want to relay my experiences/problem with you regarding my accounts at Smartbro Inc. Can you please advise me what to do? Here is my situation:
I had my Smartbro connection since January 6th of this year. My wife is using the line for website encoding and upgrading. Meaning there is an existing website and she is adding some more entry to it like pictures and data. For a certain period say a month project she is using the internet at least 8 hours a day. But sometimes there’s no project say a month or 2 months. During that 8 months period we experienced almost 3 periods of disconnection. The 1st disconnection same old process; report to their hotline and they will schedule to fixed it. On the 2nd time of disconnection we reported it and their staff scheduled us for fixing but before they call for confirmation that the technician will be arriving the connection was already fixed. The 3rd disconnection problem occurred last week and also before the technician arrives the connection was restored already. My wife doesn’t received any confirmation that the technician will be arriving so I go out for a while and when I went home my wife said the technician left already. She ask the technician to check our connection since they are already in our house, the technician told that our connection is unstable and have to terminate our connection permanently. They will do some final testing this week or next to find out if our connection is really unstable. I Think that’s just their alibi in order us to be out in the system, in fact our area is near their antenna site. Can you please advise me on what to do?
wow, its been a year since I disconnected my Smart Wifi/Bro and Smart hasn’t changed a bit – bad service.
Guys let’s support my friend, he has filed a complaint with NTC against Smart, he declined na makipagayos sa mediation, and wants to pursue an actual case sa Arbitration ng NTC, it’s been more than a month at wala pa ring reply ang NTC, we hope hindi nagkabayaran at walang corruption na nangyayari. Email him all your grievances (unitedagainsts****@****.***) para lumakas ang kaso nya against Smart, he’s looking for a volunteer NGO, and customers na dismayado. Pag hinayaan natin na hindi umabot sa NTC at hindi magkaroon ng justice sa kaso na ‘to, para na rin nating pinayagan ng lokohin tayo ng Smart at perahan ng perahan. Let’s help him help us.
Send emails to unitedagainsts****@****.***

Para sa ma SmartBro users…
Putulin nyo ung canopy nyo, as in crain nyo…
xempre bago nyo crain, tumawag muna kayo sa smart at sabihin nyo, nasira ng pusa or something na harmful… hehe
then, papuntahin nyo cla.. eun, maaayos na conn. nyo tas bibilis pa!
anyway… Ang puhunan lang eh ung lakas at tibay ng dibdib mo.
Wala tayong choice kundi magsubscribe sa substandard service ng mga putang inang ISPs na yan…
Subscriber ako ng Globe Visibility –> UNLIMITED 3G Internet anytime, anywhere (in 3G enabled sites).. e putang ina, 3G enabled tong lugar ko, sa GPRS lang ako nakaka-connect, 3 less than 50kbps lang nakukuha ko… e putang ina P2000/month binabayaran ko.. lintek.. maniwala kayo o hindi, mas mabilis pa ang Smart Bro ko sa probinysa (pag di umuulan)… P999/mo lang…
pag may problema yung Globe, tawag ako sa hotline, panay SORRY lang palagi… e di ba pag nag SORRY, di na uulitin… e paulit ulit na, wala nman silang ginagawang aksyon para maayos.. parang sinampal ako, tapos sorry.. tapos ssasampalin na nmman ako, tapos sorry, tapos…. lintek… nasasayang ang P2000/month ko, feeling ko P500 lang ang worth na nakukuha ko.. buset…
next step ko na nito e NTC na rin… maganda yung payo nung isang BLOG… hehehehe…
hey BRO so baduy! kung sa pabagalan ng connection wala ng tatalo pa sa smartbro. smartbro junk ISP.malapit na matapos contract ko sa inyo mga letse kayo kailangan ko ng mag-apply ng termination sa bwisit nyong broadband i cant subscribe all stupid products of smart. kung sino man makabasa nito tandaan nyo huwag na huwag kayong magpapakabit ng internet sa smart baka kayo mabiktima ng mga punyentang yan wag kayo maniwala sa mga advertisement nyan sa TV o kahit saan. wag na kayo magpakabit sa broadband ng smart para bumagsak na yang broadband nilang basura. mas maganda kung piliin nyo DSL cable. sayang naman bibayaran ko monthly halos di ko magamit broadband nyo mga punyeta kayo lahat na lang ng customer ko nagrereklamo sa bagal ng internet nyo mga peste kayo.

My dear Co-Bloggers,
So musta na Kayo lahat?, “long time no write†nako dito eh, ehe since awa ng Dios eh naayos ng NTC ang problema ko sa SMART Microwave internet na yan!
Guys, I hope you will really heed my advice na sulatan ang NTC (****@****.***) at sabihin ang lahat ng details nyo, be as honest and detailed as possible ha kasi isesend nila ung letter nyo mismo sa SMART eh at titignan kung totoo.
pagkatapos nun magsulat kayo ng letter of termination & request to waive the lock-in fees. idetalye nio po lahat ng paghihirap niyo at iadress nio sa manager ng smart wireless center. kakausapin kayo nun at pagdasal niong pagbigyan kayo tulad ko po ehe
Good luck at God bless sa inyo na magpapadala palang ng letter sa NTC.
Sya nga po pala, bukod sa hindi nako pinagbayad ng termination fee eh natanggap ko narin ung full refund ko na P1,988 from the SMARt wireless center. Basta ba isuli nyo ng kumpleto ung antenna or equipments nyo eh. Mismong manager pa ng SMART ang nag-assist sa problem ko at prinioritize dahil nga sinulatan ko NTC at sinabon sila.
Awa ng Dios eh masaya na ang aking Bagong taon, at naibalik pa ung pera ko. hayy. sana lang eh makahanap naman ako ng stable pero mura na broadband ayaw ko na ng PLDT o SMART me phobia nako jan. Sayang di available Globelines dito sa Soldiers Hills, Alabang eh. baka Cable Internet nalang. ok kaya un?
Dibale mag-research muna ako para hindi na ako maperwisyo at maloko ng tulad ng SMART Microwave nayan ehe.
God bless us all, balitaan nyo ko sa pag-email nyo sa NTC ha. tyak akong headlines yan ehe.
Happy New Year to all :)
as always,
I’m your friend —- Fabian Santos (soldiers hills, alabang. muntinlupa)

kung trip n’yong tirahin ang mga CSR/TSR ng smart wi-fi or smart bro, nasa PLDT building sa may Emerald Avenue sa Ortigas. Dati na akong nagwowork sa ePLDT and I’m getting f*cked at smart!
I am really fed up with Smart. Ang malas ko lang walang ibang internet provider na available sa area ko.
Akalain mo, isa pang palpak sa system nila, yung billing ng accounting naka-tie up sa connectivity natin.
Last March 8, nag-crash yung accounting software nila. Kaya kahit active pa yung account mo na-disconnect. Grabe. At dahil sa kapalpakan nila at nawalan ako ng connection, nawalan ako ng isang kliyente. Sumulat na naman ako to air my disgust. Copy furnished NTC, DOTC, as always. Ayun, kontodo apologize na naman ang mga peste.
Today I wrote another letter informing them that I am collecting all the times and details that they have let me down. And informed them that I will decide later on what I will do with the information that I will collect and already have in my possession.
Abangan….
Goodday to all SmartBRO subscribers. I have created a step-by-step procedure on how you can DO-IT-YOURSELF your canopy. Whenever you’re disconnected, you can point your canopy to other base station nearby. I have screenshots how to do it. It’s just simple. Just go to the url where the meridian guys always go to.
For complete details please see my article here: http://www.pinoyservant.com/YaBB.pl?num=1173350780
I hope this one will help a lot of smartbro subscribers. I believe this will lessen your calls to the scamming smartbro people.
Maraming salamat po. Kung may question po kayo sa isang step, just reply lang po sa board na yan. Let’s help each other. You may want to share the link to other smartbro subscribers.
God bless us all.

SMARTTTTBROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
check mo sa speakeasy.com kung abot mo yang 54Mbps mo….pustahan tayo di mo abot……kahit putulin mo pa……..ang linya ko…..kala mo totoy ko puputulin ano…
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!…..54Mbps….tulinnnnnnnn ah….kaya lang connected sa office mo yan!!!!! hahahahahahahaha…..
buti wala smart wifi dito sa saudi, linksys dito 1 to sawa libre pa. with top speed of 54Mbps?!
Two words: absolute nightmare. The connection is incredibly slow, it’s an offense to even call it Wifi. It takes ages to download, as compared to the internet connection we’re using at the office. Customer service is equally horrible. I didn’t have connection for almost a month, and have reported it to them since Day1. It took them that long to “process my request” and restore my connection. But even before that, I had to make at least 15 calls and run a dozen troubleshooting (I actually memorized my IP address already) before I got them to realize it’s not my computer that has a problem. They asked me to wait for 24 hours, then another 24 hours, until it turned into almost a month. Then naturally, it took them a few more days to send somebody over. After finally fixing it, they promised me a rebate, but it has been 2 months and it still has not been reflected in my bill (which always arrive on time every month by the way). I followed it up a few days ago only to be informed that there was no report of a rebate request. Surprising, since just last month they were asking me if they could just extend my contract to another month instead of a rebate. I declined of course–a person with half a brain would. The service is just so poor and inefficient, wow, it’s “simply amazing”.
oisttt!!! mga gunggung!!!!

After several months of fighting AMAZING SMART BROADBLAND regarding my rebate req
I just got Smart bro 3 days ago.. The first day was awesome. Fast connectivity with stellar connection and NO packet loss. The next day, nightmare started. I was getting 2kbps when I downloaded files and packet loss was abundant. I called tech support and said: “Sir marami pong parameters yung connection niyo sa base station, excalate po namin sa technician tapos monitor niyo na lang for the next 24 hours.”.. I thought “wtf is a parameter???”.
And so thinking that my case is at good hands I left the situation and said to myself that tommorow’s connection will be back to normal.
The next day connection was still slow. Tinawagan ko sila tapos sabi nila maintenance daw ng base station.
Maintenance.. OK.. understandable yun… End of the year eh..
Pero puta pag dating ng 3rd day ganun pa rin. Pinagpapasa pasa na ako ng tech support. Email ko daw si tech_sup****@****.*** tapos dikit ako screen shot..
And then I came across this page.. Now I see clearly..
Smart phish for subscribers, show them that they have a fast connection for the first few days, then “cap” the broad band latency so that other new applicants will “experience” broadband connectivity. Bale yung bilis na naexperience ko noong first day, is the routed shared speed that was stripped from other subscribers… Well.. conspiracy theory ko lang naman ito.. pero malay mo.
Smart is indeed smart.
The masses should know about this scam.. someone should investigate this IT related crime..
I will give credit where credit is due. I once cancelled Smart Bro for its slower than dialup speed and all around unreliability.
I signed up again and installation was one day.. and the connection is much better. I could actually make a skype call which was impossible before.
Keep up the Good work Smart.

Gusto pa ng smart bayaran nya 1 month (bale 13 months) eh nasa 12th month pa lng naman nung magpa deactivate. Hanngang ngayon active pa rin service nay. Biglang gumanda signal nya nung nag-apply sya for deactivation. Ngayon balik sa dati ang signal. 5k ms. Grabe!
Sa Digitel naman biglang bumagal. 384 kbps ko dati 333kps kaya, ngayon 187kbps. Ano ba yan. Pahirapan blues. Kung may pera lng ako bibili na lng ako ng satellite dish!!! Hirap na nga tau, lalo pang pinahihirapan ng mga ganid!

Kaya, subscribe na to Smart and be SMART!!
I love Smart because it is the BEST!
melvin
the thing is di nman nila cnabi na 384kbps minimum speed, ilang beses ko ng nireklamo to, they told me na and cnbi lang nman daw sa ads eh burstable ng 384kbps, so ibig sbhin khit sa 1 month, khit for 1 second lang umabot ng 384kbps talo na tayo dun.
To all my fellow smart wifi/bro costumers, i know we have a lot of problems dealing with this things…if we want to complain about them they are not the proper person to approached..instead if 1 individual would file a complain at the office of the DTI against smart for false advertisement regarding their hi speed internet connection kuno then i think we will win this case..we could demand damages from them…if somebody will do this rest assured that 90% of all costumers will support including me..before filing a complain please gather first some evidence like their posters in advertising that speed,,etc..contact me Nat****@****.***
para kay ian…
sa part ko naman kaya ako nagrereklamo..dhil ang sinasabi ng smart na up to 384kbps ay nde ma reach.dapat sinabi na lang nila na up to 200kbps…para mas claro…kaya bulok ang service ng smart..puro kasinungalingan…
comment ko lng po ha.. as far as im concerned sa mga comments nyo.. for all you know guys.. parang naka LAN lng po kayo nyan. kaya laging dc at walang internet.. ive read the comments and u know what natatawa ako eh… kaya wag na kayo mag expect na abot max ung bandwith na makukuha nyo.. salamat
Kahiya hiya ang serbisyo ng smart…………….bro…
Hoy pyth,
Kahit gawin pa namin yan, kung mahina naman ang signal, putol putol pa rin! Ang bobo mo!
kasi ayaw nyo i manual ang ip settings,subnet and dns nyo. try nyo i manual wag auto detect u casn see the difference..24 hours connected..hehehe
Id rather get a dialup connection than smart wifi or smart bro. I cannot connect for 2 weeks now and my contract will end this december. I called smart countless times and still no technicians were sent here. They kept saying wait for 24hours for observation blah blah.
So just this morning I got my subscription disconnected and told them that Im not going to pay the charges that I have to for terminating the contract earlier. I simply told them that their service sucks and its just not right for them to charge people some amount of money by giving you a device that’s useless since you cant connect.
Dont subscribe to smart wifi/bro.
Ang masasabi ko lang re Smart Bro/Wifi na yan eto:
As far as SPEED is concerned, kontento ako… I consistently get the max speed i need, bihira lang bababa sa 256kbps speed ko kasi lapit namin sa tinatawag nilang base station. Technical problem????? I had experienced it 3 TIMES since Nov… and all those three instances were WORST…. I mean it is their CUSTOMER SERVICE and TECHNICAL SUPPORT that is worst…… tama kayo, promises, promises, promises…. at eto pa, ANG SINUNGALING!!!!!!! Grabe! Di ko na i elaborate pero sobrang PALPAK at bobo ng mga CSR/TSR nila, useless, inutile, LIARS!
Tinitiis ko lang muna yung smart kasi sa nov pa mag end contract ko and antayin ko muna tataas ang speed na inooffer ng Globe Speak N Surf… Mas mura, me landline pa, me pc bundle pa…… I am fedup with Smart, from their cellphone service to internet….. lalo na sa mga bulok na mga tao na nagtratrabaho sa bulok nilang sistema………. You should hear and compare Globe and Smart CSRs talk and you will find out the difference…. Grabe, ewan ko bat nabuhay yang call center nila….
oo nga eh..nde ko agad na pansin na meron ganitong mga prob ang smart. nung nabasa ko lang sa mga blog.nakapagpakabit na ako. nakakaasar talaga. kanina tumawag ulit ako sa kanila.kso wala parin nangyayari. under evaluation ba rin daw…
kaya mamaya after office hours.punta na ko smart wireless center. para mapadiscontinued na ang smartbulok na sa bahay nmin.wala din nman nangyayari..pangpadami lang ng wire na nakakabit sa dingding ng room ko….sumasama lang loob ko pagnakikita ko ung mga wire ng smartbulok :(
hanggang ngaun pa rin ba ganyan pa rin ang smart bro???? ahihihihihhihiih mahigit 1 yr na yan ah…… sus!!!!
…..4 day na ko wala connection sa internet.august 28 nawalan ng connection. sa araw din na un..tumwag na ako sa hotline nila *1888.kung ano ano pinagawa. ipina- ipconfig /release tapos ipconfig /renew. tapos ipinarestart ang computer. tapos ayun wala pa rin…….check daw nila sa kanilang base station. ok daw naman ang connection.. ok ba nman un eh wala nga ako connection. talagang hotline pano ba naman nakakapag init ng punong tenga dahil sa mga agent paulit ulit lang ang sinasabi. next day. tumawag ulit ako na baka nman meron na magsasabi na i sched na lang para mapuntahan ng technician wala pa din gusto nman ipa ipconfig at restart ang comp. kahit nasabi na follow up na lang ang ginagawa ko.at ilang beses ko na din sinabi sa kanila na nagawa ko na ung series ng pagtrouble shoot. pwede na nga siguro ako mag apply na call center agent ng smarbro dahil halos saulo ko na ang kanilang mga sinasabi.

I am sorry it should be Smart Bro Customer Service! and not yahoo! :))
As of this writing, do you know that smart bro could not connect to yahoo mail, hotmail and friendster? You can connect to other sites but not to yahoo mail, hotmail and friendster. I am not sure if everywhere but probably in Rizal area only!
Well, something strange happen to me yesterday!
Starting at 8:30 AM, I could not connect to yahoo mail, hotmail and friendster (well so far yun pa lang alam ko!).
What I did was I send text messages to some of my friends asking if there is indeed a problem. But unfortunately looks like ako lang ang me problem, so i did so many things in my desktop thinking that I was hit again with a deadly virus, run virus scan, deleting temporary files, cookies, check for spywares. But again the problem was not been solved!
One of my friend suggested to use blast dial-up (because its working for her) and connect using dial up instead of of using smart bro! To my surprise yahoo mail, hotmail and friendster are working perfectly well using blast dial up
So I immediately called up yahoo customer service and inquire about my problem and holahhhhhh, smart bro indeed has a technical problem connecting to yahoo mail, hotmail and freindster to name a few.
As of this moment, the problem has not been fixed! I dont know what they they are doing but I cant believe that after more than 36 hours, it seems that they are not doing anything. They dont even have a commitment how this problem will gonna be solved! What again surprises me is that why only yahoo mail, hotmail and friendster?
The only that I can do now is to call them every hour to inquire about the progress. Wala eh mukhang tinutulugan lang nila yung problem
ahihihihi!
why i can’t connect to my favorite on-line game, dati naman nakaconnect ako pero ngayon hindi na? ano ba talaga ang problema ng network? then sometimes the connection’s speed will go slow……can you fix this problem ASAP?…… xxxSLYMxxx of Cebu
Mea culpa… The date was supposed to be August 27, 2006….
Sa sobrang asar nagkamali ako ng digit na napindot…
Katapos ko lang murahin yung CSR ng SMART.
Akalain mo ba namang may Kliente akong kausap on-line. Bigla naputol connection ko.
Tumawag ako sa CSR sabi ko ano problema.
KAREN BRIONES: Sir, there is a TECHINCAL ACTIVITY going on in your base station.
ME: Technical Activity at 1:15 AM, August 28, 2006, Sunday Morning? Alam mo bang 800 meters lang layo ng base station sa bahay ko? Eh kung pumunta kaya ako ngayon dun at makita kong walang engineer at kunan ko ng litrato yung base station. Paano mo ngayon sasabihin sa akin na may technical activity? I have your name and I am recording this call. Paano mong mapapatunayan yang sinasabi mo sa aking Bull****.
KAREN BRIONES: Sir sandali lang po!
ME: Wag mo akong i-dare na i-hold dahil naghihintay ang kliyente ko. Eto gusto ko mangyari! Eto IP ko ********** Sabihin mo jan sa mga TSR at Engineers ninyo to fix the problem in 10 minutes or else I am going to sue you guys first thing Monday Morning.
Guess what…. wala pang 5 minutes… balik sa dati speed and connection ko.

Basahin natin etong link sa taas at ganito makipagnegosyo ang Smart:
1. Will mislead people na maganda ang service nila;
2. Pag nagsubscribe ka at nalaman mong pangit ang service
bobolahin ka;
3. Pag gusto mo na paputol, sisingilin ka, at pag hindi ka
magbayad, tatakutin ka;
4. Pag merong mas magandang produkto ng kalaban
(Globe) pipigilan nila para hindi makinabang ang
taong bayan sa pamamagintan ng pagpetition sa courts
laban sa competitor (globe).
Ayos, palakpakan!!!!
guyz.. wag na kayong magtalo talo…. ang problema lng sa nakikita ko ay ung location nyo with respect to the BTS station kung saan ngrregster ung station nyo… there’s alot of considerations to be considered… ung LOS (line of sight),Free Space Path Loss ( which probably is your main problem)…. may computation kc yan mga bro… I hope na may naishare ako ng konti…. I am an ECE also that’s y very familiar ako jan and we always encounter that kind of problem lalo na sa mga areas na may matataas n bundok at maraming puno…..Gud day!
Smart Wifi !
Please pay attention on the ff.
1. Your CSR sucks! they always keep on saying “There’s a problem with base station” etc..etc.. but if you tried calling again you will get a different response from a diff. CSR!
2. Your CCI (Installers sucks)!

Goodbye Smart Wifi/Bro! my Lock-in Period now Expires!
I was planning to continue my subscription to smart wifi/bro for a second year because its cheaper 788@256kbps despite the fact of a very unimpressive service and support that I have experienced, but my surprised that old wifi subscriber will be mandatorily upgrade to the Bro plan because they have repackage as Smart Bro and for unidormity of account (an issue that those in wireless center has been surprise too and told me that it is untrue and wifi subscriber should maintain its plan despite of the changes, another and ultimate proof of uncoordinated, conflicting and contrast of statement between those in CSR and wireless center that I have already noticed since the time ive subscribed a year ago) well to confirm this issue I call their CSR and they repeatedly insist this forcible upgrade, so…my point now is why would I upgrade to 999/384kbps if they cant even sustain a stable connection speed of 788/256kbps for a day, mostly Im soaked in a dial-up speed and no week that Ive missed calling their TSR who has a robotic script sinced the acquisition of meridian.
So few weeks before the termination of my Lock-in with smart wifi I inquire to Globelines for an internet service in advance because I thought It would take few weeks to install after the approved application like what Ive experienced in Smart wifi when I apply for subsription they said only 3 days to install after the approved application but it took a month to install plus a week more before It was activated.
true, smart and globe were two different worlds. to cut this blah in short Globelines broadband install after 3 days of my application with no installation fee (for those with existing innove phone lines only) 995/512kbps (as of july 31, not always that high but it maintains a ranged of speed and browse fast with minimum discon, that if the modem is in good shape) technical support is good with a sense thou bit long to contact and, acts fast, onsite visit is guaranteed in 24 hours. Im not doing this to promote there service im just defining the line of service, quality and truthfullness. remember there is no perfect ISP Network. anyway goodbye to Smart wifi I will miss those in CSR whom I always talk though they speak an overstated and overused line…and maybe to this blog where I express all my anxiety and itch over smart bro/wifi
Hi everyone…
I have been a smart wifi subscirber and I have 3 accounts. All have been very consistent as of now because I think wifi-subscriber here in Mindoro is still minimal.
I have been searching for the equipments of what they used the Canopy Subscriber Unit and Canopy Base Unit. and here’s what I found
Each base unit throws signals to occupies 60 degrees that’s why I think every station atleast has six base unit. They are identified by color codes to identify which base unit u will connect. They can communicate efficiently at 2 miles range following LOS. Each base unit can accomodate 50 Subscriber unit. Good jitter will be good at 4 and 5. u can look how far you are in canopy configuration page.
i think the problem of Smart Wifi is they are accepting subscriber even the limits have been reach. That’s why disconnection occurs. If u r going to apply u can ask first some information on wireless centers how many subscriber atleast in your area.
The problem in lower bandwidth ofcourse the small amount of bandwidth alloted to each base unit. Assuming that eah tower has a T1 connection only 120 subscriber must be accepted to get 384 Kbps. Assuming all of the subscriber are all online… And here our computers are online downloading even we are not around.
About the CIR… hmmmnnn this is a bit tricky and i think this must be changed to avoid conflict and the company. This company is protected by the contract we have signed on that the speed we will get is burstible to that speed… no commitment to 384 Kbps… even the advertisement they always say UP to 384. I guess before signing the contract it should be fair enough that smart wi-fi must explain to the customers especially to those who dont have knowledge on the internet. And this is what they lack most. Explanation regarding the scope of their services. And i suggest smart wi-fi must tell what is the CIR of this services so we know when to complain. Agents tell me different value of the CIR some told me that the agreement that we sign on dont have CIR… I think if from the start they clear this issue lesser complaints will be heard from the subscriber… The LAW of protect us but also LAWS or protects them… That’s Life I assume… Till Then
Hi Guys,
I just have my connection last saturday and was very disappointed with the service. Kakagulat kc ang connection speed ko maximum is 58Kilobits/second as against the advertised 384KBPS
I can see smart is really investing in false advertising. Grabe.. Tapos ang daming IDIOT sa CSR’s na walang alam sabihin kundi may technical activity sa base station and just monitor your connection. TApos di daw sila pwede mag-papunta ng tao basta… Meron daw tatawag pero 1 week na wala pa rin.
Nasaulo ko na nga yung sinasabi nila kc tumatawag ako araw araw to complain. Tapos di pa rin nagpapadala ng tao dito sa amin.
So now, Im already considering terminating my subscription ASAP.
Gumagawa na rin ako ng e-mail to formally bring up this issue to DTI. Sana naman may magawa sila…
Well sa lahat po ng may problem pa dito sa smart service na ito, sana po mag-file na rin po kayo ng compalint sa DTI. Tama na ang pag-mumukmok. Course all your compalints to the proper authorities.
MAYROON PO TAYONG MGA KARAPATAN,
covered under
Republic Act No. 7394 which is
THE CONSUMER ACT OF THE PHILIPPINES.
In this kind of service, ARTICLE 50-52, ARTICLE 100 at yung iba pang related articles covered yung violations nila and yung rights natin.

guys need your expertise badly, pls help, im using utorrent, but im only getting downloads close to 10-15kBps, my status indicates, unable to map UPnP, or something, i think i have to port forward first, but i dunno how to do it, or whats that for, please, need your help,
baka nman binabayaran ng smart ang NTC,
hay wala pa rin action eh andami nang comment ng mga subscriber sa smart. dimonyo talaga ang smart
I applied for the MyDSL Xperience package a month ago. Since then, I have been following up every week to check my application. Every call, crappy customer service will give me a vague explanation about my application like telling me its under process (for one month).
Then I received a call from Smart Bro today. Updating my status regarding my MyDSL application.
What a surprise! Smart Bro rep knows about the status of my application compared to the 171 representatives whom I was talking to every week. They said that there is still no port available for my DSL service. Its better if I just apply for Smart Bro, which is basically the same in price.
I calmly said that I am not interested. But deep in my mind, I was shouting, “Are you crazy?! Do you think that I am stupid?! Have you read about the comments about Smart Bro?!
Dito nga sa ormoc city kahit konte lang nagpakabit ng
smartbro mabagal din sa amin kung sa araw. Umabot lang ng 20 to 200 kBps. Pag gabi naman ok ang linya… ok ang video, kaya lang maaga kc ako matulog.. Paano na lang pag nagpakabit pa ka ng isang computer sa bahay… Kalahati na lang ang speed.. Kc ihahati yung speed mo sa dalawang computer.. Tama ba ako mga smartbro users?
To all Smartbro BroadBLAND users:
Hindi lang nakadepende sa PC ang ganda, bilis at efficiency ng connection natin. I have a system which I spent lots of pretty pennies on and the components I picked out myself.
Eto naman ang data ng connection ko:
1 RSSI = 800 to 1000+ (Optimum yan)
2. Jitter = 0 to 1 lang (Optimum ulit yan)
3. Download Efficiency = 100%
4. Upload Efficiency = 100%
5. Number of Users per AP = 3 lang kami
Ganda ng stats di ba?
Pero speed ko from 0.1Kbps to 120 Kbps (most of the time)
Every 3 to 5 days Mag-spike siya up to 512 Kbps, minsan mas mataas pa tapos babagsak na naman after a few hours of spiking. Or worse mawawalan ng connection entirely.
Kalokohan yung line of sight. You must know that these SMART wireless internet transmitters use microwave. Ibang signal frequency at antenna yung ginagamit ng cellular technology. Kalokohan yung sinasabi nila na cellular network ang ginagamit nila for our connections. Ang totoo, yung tower lang ang ginagamit kasi doon nakakabit yung transmitter for our wireless internet service. Kaya kahit ano yang nakaharang as long as hindi reflective metals sa footprint nung transmitter tatagos at tatagos yan papunta sa antenna mo.
Example ko diyan yung mga OB Van ng mga TV Stations. They use Microwave. As long as these vans transmitters can produce enough juice, aabot at aabot yan sa TV Station nila. Kung hindi, Iba-bounce nila yan sa isang relay station to re-transmit papunta sa destination either by satellite or optic cables.
Ang main culprit talaga bakit mabagal ang connection nating users. KASUWAPANGAN! Grabe sila maghati ng Bandwidth. Ilang beses na nagpunta Engineers mismo ng SMART sa akin para tignan kung ano ba talaga problema. It just so happens na sa communications din nakalinya business ng pinagtatrabahuan ko kaya well versed ako kahit hindi ako communications engineer. So napaamin ko Engineers nila na Bandwidth Split nga ang tunay na problema natin. Kaya kung mas marami ang gagamit at one time. Ma-i-isplit yung bandwidth sa lahat ng online at that time. Think of it this way, MERIDIAN TELEKOMS is the ISP provider, tapos ngayon binili ng SMART. SMART now is the largest router for all of us subscribers.
Bakit di kaya natin alamin kung gaano talaga kalaking Bandwidth ang binigay ng NTC sa MERIDIAN TELEKOMS for this Wireless Broadband Service. MERIDIAN was bought by SMART (100%) at wala akong nabalitaan na nga-apply ang SMART sa NTC or DOTC ng allocation for bigger Bandwidth for Smart Wi-Fi now Smartbro. Ang ginawa lang nila, they made the package to connect ATTRACTIVE with bigger bandwidth (daw). Dati 2X than dial-up lang ngayon up to 7x (daw). Pag nakuha mo yung data, divide mo yun sa actual number of users (subscribers). Whether online or offline. Yun ang magiging actual allocated bandwidth mo. Of course kung kokonti ang online, bibilis ang connection mo.
Sa tingin ko the bandwidth is so small that we users suffer kahit sakto bayad natin. At para disimulado, yung speed burst nila, rotated every 3 to 5 days. Siyempre pag nagreklamo ka. Usual sagot ng CSR, “may technical activity sa base station…” By the time ma-resolve yung problem naka-tatlong araw na. After that. Babagsak ulit. Then the cycle rotates again. Subukan ninyong mag-observe sa speed ninyo kung hindi tama ang hinala ko. Idagdag mo pa diyan na napaamin ko na yung huling engineer na nagpunta dito sa bahay na yun nga ang problema at yung mga CSR nila walang idea sa sinasabi nila sa nagrereklamong subscriber kasi scripted na yung response nila.
Try ninyo ito sa command line ng OS ninyo:
c:\> tracert [IP address]
Wag na kayong magulat kung makita pa rin ninyo pangalan ng MERIDIAN TELEKOMS kasi nga kung nag-apply ang SMART ng Bagong Bandwidth Allocation, dapat SMART na lalabas diyan. Kaso hindi. So that means, approved bandwidth allocation pa rin ng MERIDIAN yung pinaghahati-hatian nating lahat.
Sa mga gaya namin na dito nakasalalay yung hanapbuhay, ibang usapan na yun. Sa amin SPEED and RELIABILITY is a VERY BIG issue. Just try downloading a sensitive packet of about 50MB na data tapos nasa kalagitnaan ka na madi-disconnect or mag-e-email ka sa isang client mo pero dahil sa sobrang baba ng bandwidth hindi ka makapasok sa e-mail server or babalik yung e-mail with errors. Di ba sakit sa ulo? At mabuti sana kung 5 minutes lang yung download and upload problem mo. Hours pa kung minsan. At kailangan ulitin mo ulit sa umpisa yung download dahil hindi na reliable yung data na napre-download mo na. Nasaan na yung promise ng SMART na up to 7X FASTER THAN DIAL-UP? Nasaan na yung promise na “ALWAYS STAY CONNECTED”. YUN ANG BINABAYARAN MO. Think about it.
Just had the Engineers go to my house yesterday…
Nataranta sila when I flooded their CSR’s and TSR’s with calls and e-mails…. And to Top it all off I also provided them with a hard copy of the e-mails with screen shots… All copy furnished NTC, DTI and DOTC of course….
Nung dumating sila dito, walang nakitang problema sa system ko as I suspected… Inamin na rin sa wakas nung Engineer na tama hinala ninyo….
Pag working days lahat ng available bandwidth naka allocate sa business centers and VIP’s…
Guess what…. Blinock pa ng SMART yung isa sa mga Internet Broadband Speed Test site na madalas ko puntahan… very funny….
Ping ko rin puro time-out na… Pati Tracer…. ginamitan ko na… Kakatawa… baka di nila alam libo libo internet speed sites… he he he he… ma-block kaya nila lahat? we’ll see….
Just got my sendfar antenna replaced with the motorola canopy… so far ok na ok po connection ko (am from cental mindanao). I do hope it stays this way kasi we are paying for this service.
Btw, do good with the contractors, they can honestly tell you what is the real score with your connection (and others too!). That information alone could save you plenty of time.

GODSPEED SMART BRO I’ll PRAY FOR YOU.
hello! been using smartbro for almost 2 months now at mabilis naman po iyong connection ko.. siguro averaging sa 300kbps. nweiz, pag nagcoconnect po ba ako sa internet, do i get/acquire the same ip address??
hello! my kwento dn ako. una talagang mbilis cla mgkabit pero ng kbit na nagtanong ako kung my service charge sbi ng 2 ngkabit wala napo. pero my isa silang kasama na talagang ngpaiwan para bigyan daw sila ng tip kahit konte lang. imagine! dapat tanggalin sya sa trabaho.tpos next day nawalan kmi ng koneksyon hangang umabot ng 3 days. after nun naging ok na. tapos nung ika10day nawala na nman umabot din ng ilang araw. araw araw nlang kming 2matawag sa smart costumer service pero it takes more than an hour palagi makipag usap sa knila kac klangan antayin ang tech nila. hangang sa nagsawa cla kya nagpadala ng tao nila. iniba nya ang position ng antenna. naayos din buti nlang hangang ngayon maayos na ang connection nmin at ng dumating ang bill 1/3 lang babayaran nmin. maganda na ang smart bro ngayon problema lang ang mga taong bulok na nagtatrabaho jan. ayos ayusin nyo trabaho nyo kung ayaw nyong mawalan.
Ganda ng blog na to…
anyway…here it is…
I am moving on to another place and plans to give up my plan for Smart Bro I am just confuse if what is really the penalty for Giving up this plan are they going to put us in jail if we cant afford to pay the bills anymore?
Mga tol anu ba puidi kung gawin?
better to have cabled internet just buy wifi router or 3g for laptop and smartphones
BETTER TO HAVE CABLED INTERNET AND JUST BUY WIFI ROUTER. OR USE 3G BROWSING FOR LAPTOP OR SMARTPHONES
Well, I don’t know about smart here in Toledo City, Cebu, but I know the globelines and they are very, very slow. They promise up to 1,5 mbps and have a guarantee of minimum 64kbps, but very often it is fare below 64kbps. It is often down in the bps area also. Crazy company and it is no use to complain, since the answer is always that I am the only one complaining. Guess they say that to all their customers, since I also know a few of them and they all say they have been complaining.
Anyway, if we had a company like globelines in europe it would not be allowed to operate. Their speed are very slow and the bills are high, one time we got a bill of 29 thousand for just one month. It was of course wrong, but the next month it was 14 thousand and they used many months more to adjust it to be rigth. Globelines is really a crazy company!
ok sa umpisa..ikaw “MAG RISK KA” 2lad namin na meron na ehehehe…pero so far nung pinaayos namin yuhng antenna naging OK naman na…wal na prob. :D
amf maganda b ang wifi magpapa kbit sna me eh
dude “paranaque user” na name ehehe lagi din ako ganayan DEADS yung character ko kaya di na mag LEVEL UP ng mag LEVEL Up saka na huhulugan pa ng gamit BWISET ehehe…pero yan yung dati.Tawagan mo na customer serv pabago mo antenna mo, baka lo tech kinabit nila, kasi sakin pinalitan eh, at naging OK na…taga paranaque din ako, dami talaga net users d2 kaya sobrang agawan sa bandwidth.
ps.
ganyan din kainit ang ULO ko at ng kapatid ko dati sa smart wifi….buti nalng pinalamig nila after 5 long months of waiting, at pagtyaga sa connection ahehehe..
hahaha last post ko d2 nung june 4, ehehe dumami ang thread re-kabulukan ng smart wi-fi ahaheheh well well, tutuo namn eh lahat ng NEGATIVE comments jan re SMART WIFI true yan ehehe.Pero nung piunapunta namin d2 ung tagaayos ng wifi eh naging ok na connection eversince, pinaliutan nila bago antenna saka tinutok sa ibang area, ehehehe KAYA naging ok na so far wala ng “LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY” at di narin ako 2matawag sa customer service nila para marining ang bulshit na “TATAWAGAN nalang po KAYO ng HIGHER TECHNICAL namin” at BUMILIS ang connection namin walang putol puitol …wakekeke..SAna lang mag tuloy tuloy na toh..BINOLJAK! kasi namin talga yung sustomer service kaya ayun may nag punta rin at nag ayos…kaya kung ako sa inyo BOLJAKIN nyo sa fone, saka tawagan nyo 3x a day =)
Hey guys Ive written smart customer care last night 06/14/2006 and I furnished the DTI and the NTC a copy of my complaint. Guess what? I got a reply from SMART!
Below is a copy of my letters and the response I got for all of you who may be experiencing the same and to get an idea on how to go about resolving OUR dilemma.
———————
LETTER WHICH I TRIED TO SEND THROUGH SMARTBRO WEBSITE JUNE 14, 2006, WEDNESDAY, 9:31 PM
SMARTBRO ACCOUNT NUMBER: **********
tech_sup****@****.*** – FAILED
customer_ser****@****.*** – FAILED
po****@****.*** – FAILED
HENCE THIS LETTER THROUGH THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS
I AM TOTALLY DISMAYED BY THE SERVICE I AM GETTING FROM SMARTBRO. (NOTE THIS LETTER IS ALL CAPS)
I SHOULD HAVE HEEDED THE NUMEROUS WARNINGS I GOT FROM SMART WI-FI USERS. NOW I BELIEVE THAT SMARTBRO IS THE SAME SMART WI-FI ONLY RE-CHRISTENED BUT WITH THE SAME ABYSMAL SERVICE.
MAY I SUBMIT THIS E-MAIL AS A FORMAL COMPLAINT THAT YOU ARE NOT DELIVERING WHAT YOUR COMPANY IS ADVERTISING. TRUTH IN ADVERTISING IS TANTAMOUNT AT THIS POINT SINCE YOUR COMPANY CLAIMS THAT YOU ARE 7x FASTER THAN DIAL-UP! I HAVE CLOCKED MY CONNECTION AT 5 TO 36Kbps AT NON-PEAK HOURS, WHAT A JOKE!!! IT DOESN’T EVEN REACH THE SPEED DIAL-UP IS GIVING AND WORSE, IT EVEN GIVES INTERMITTENT CONNECTION. AND I AM BARELY ON MY FIRST MONTH. MY CONNECTION WITH YOUR SERVICE COMMENCED ONLY ON MAY 20, 2006. I HAVEN’T EVEN GOT MY FIRST BILLING STATEMENT YET! THIS MEANS I AM NOT GETTING WHAT I AM PAYING FOR.
I HAVE CALLED YOUR CSR’s IN THE PAST AND THEY ARE USELESS, I REITERATE, USELESS. THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE THE TECHNICAL KNOWHOW TO HANDLE CALLS FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS, THAT IS IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH YOUR CUSTOMER HOTLINE.
I NO LONGER BELIEVE THE REASONS AND TECHNICAL MUMBO-JUMBO GIVEN BY YOUR CSR’S AND TSR’S SINCE I BELIEVE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS AND SINCE THE REPLIES GIVEN BY YOUR STAFF HAS BECOME ROBOTIC TO MY EARS AND WITH NO RESULTS IN SIGHT. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. IT’S AS IF THEY ARE READING FROM A SCRIPT.
IN CONCLUSION, I DARE SAY THAT I AM NOT GETTING THE SERVICE I AM PAYING FOR! YOUR SERVICE IS NOT AT PAR WITH WHAT YOU ADVERTISE! I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM YOUR END A FULL EXPLANATION WHY THIS IS SO. IF NOT BY AT LEAST A PHONE CALL, A WRITTEN REPLY FROM ONE OF YOUR TECHNICAL HEAD WHO KNOWS THE REAL REASON FOR THIS APALLING SERVICE.
BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS WILL NOT BE OVERLOOKED AND I INTEND TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF REGULATING BODIES AND UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CONSUMING PUBLIC WHO MAY FALL VICTIMS BY FALSE ADVERTISING.

SMART’S RESPONSE:
Thank you for sending us e-mail.
SMART has always prioritized the efficiency and reliability of the service we render to our subscribers.
We regret though if you were made to feel otherwise by what you are experiencing on your connection.
As we wish to address the matter, please provide us the following information:
1. Service Reference Number (10-digit number; starting with 101, 102, or 103)
2. Complete system response / ping or bandwidth test results
3. Contact number/s
4. Available time for call out
We will be waiting for your response so we could properly address your connection concern.
Sincerely,
Customer Care

My new response which I also copy furnished DTI and NTC:
——————
Thank you for your immediate reply to my e-mail.
Now to address your requests here are my answers:
1. SERVICE REFERENCE NUMBER – NOTICE IN MY PREVIOUS LETTER THAT MY SERVICE REFERENCE NUMBER IS ALREADY WRITTEN IN THE E-MAIL.
2. COMPLETE SYSTEM RESPONSE / PING BANDWIDTH RESULTS – Does a customer need to concern himself/herself to give you these details? ISN’T THAT YOUR JOB?
Why don’t you just send someone over to see for themselves so that they can make the proper diagnosis to resolve the cause.
The FACT remains that you are giving me inadequate service. PERIOD!
3. MY CONTACT DETAILS ARE WITH YOUR RECORDS. HOW IN THE FIRST PLACE WERE YOUR CONTRACTORS ABLE TO GO TO MY RESIDENCE AND CONNECT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MY CONTACT DETAILS? HAVE SOMEBODY FROM YOUR CUSTOMER RECORDS TO LOOK UP MY DETAILS. AFTER ALL, ISN’T THAT WHY YOU ARE PAYING THEM FOR?
4. I am available anytime for call-outs you have the records and my contact details.
I am not trying to be a difficult customer but a little effort on your part will go a long way. Your queries are somewhat very trivial and you already know the answers to THESE QUESTIONS. WHAT I NEED FROM YOU AS A CUSTOMER IS, AS I SAID IN MY PREVIOUS LETTER IS AN EXPLANATION and A WRITTEN REPLY FROM ONE OF YOUR TECHNICAL HEADS WHO KNOWS THE REAL REASON FOR THIS APALLING SERVICE. In addition of course the early resolution of the problem.
On the bright side, I consider myself in luck since I can still connect, other users from what I gather don’t even have that privilege since their service is non-existent altogether.
In closing, I ask that positive action be taken as soon as possible. I promise that I will not leave this situation unchecked. I give this opportunity for you to improve the service or I will have no other recourse but seek higher intervention. I and other users NEED RESULTS, not empty promises. YOUR CUSTOMERS NEED ASSURANCE WITH SOLID PROOF THAT WHAT YOU ADVERTISE IN ALL FORMS OF MEDIA IS FAIR AND TRUE!
Hoping for your immediate and favorable action.

I Will Keep You guys posted for the development of this matter. And for all of you who are experiencing the same, we consumers have proper and legal avenues to help ourselves. Losing our cool and cursing OUR machines is not the way to go. Isa pa, di naman sa atin nanggaling ang problema!
I was ecstatic when they replied pronto to my connection request.
But alas, I had similar problems with Smartbro on the 3rd day of connection… Kakaasar… because sometimes I don’t go to the office and just telecommute right at home and a disruption in connection is a no-no.
I brought this to Smart’s attention and asked them, nay, “ordered†them to remove the service at the risk of paying fines. (we are tied up for one year).
I said I didn’t care to pay for a service that does not work and we’ll just handle the legalities in court if need be. I said they better fix the problem within 24 hours or else I will yank out their equipment myself and return their useless stuff to their office. I got the names of the all the people I spoke with from smart as well as their supervisor and the technical people I talked to and told them all our conversations were recorded.
Lo and behold! Instantly just as if an angel farted… the problem was fixed… Now I only experience intermittent connection DURING REAL PEAK HOURS! And it only lasts for 2 to 3 seconds. Or sometimes, a real drop in the speed, which is tolerable since I experience the same from time to time from DSL and Cable in the office.
In reality, I’m still waiting for the availability of cable internet at home. Once that arrives… I will say goodbye to NOT SO SMARTBRO.
I’m shocked to find out na marami pala talagang problem ang wifi.I’m working here in South Korea so I decided na magbakakit ng internet ang anak ko for our daily communication.But i am very disapointed to learn na hindi pala ito maaasahan. 3 days nang walang connection ang anak.
Wifi ayusin nyo service nyo wag lang sa billing…
Hello guys! Does anybody know how to bypass NAT since I am [I suppose most of us does] downloading via torrent. I phoned the customer care not too long ago and the receiver informed me that port forwarding isn’t allowed at present. How about IP bouncing? My friend told me that that could be a possible solution to the wretched red light.
Ideas are welcome.
[current internet stats: average speed from 9am-12mn is 250kbps, quite ayt. sometimes it even gets faster. torrent dl average speed is 27kbps. however, successfully resolving the NAT problem would surely boost my speed.]
Thanks. ^-^
Grabe! itong month ng June ang pinakanakakainis na service nila…coming this month, 3 days akong walang connection, coming from last month na puro intermittent ang connection. Nakausap ko ang higher technical group ang sabi nila ay may parameter ang aking connection na bumaba sa accpeted level at nag-recommend na may bumisita sa bahay na contractor. Grabe, yung contractor na pumunta sa bahay nagtataka kasi wala naman daw problema sa aking system ang reception ng internet…BASE STATION daw ang problema. Ngayon, habang isinusulat ko ito, may problema pa rin ako sa aking connection. Ni-raise ko yung naging feedback sakin ng contractor… sa katunayan, mas pinaniwalaan ko pa yung contractor kasi may validation sila na ginawa at ipinakita sa akin na ok ang set-up na ginawa nila sa akin. Tapos ngayon, sinasabi sa akin ng CUSTOMER CARE (TAE) na walang problema sa base station…..ewan ko….i’m seeing not only fidelity issue sa connection but also INTEGRITY issues sa mga customer care reps nila…. minsan pakiramdam ko sinasabi nila na wait lang daw i-check nila wherein in reality iiwanan lang nila ikaw na naghihintay habang umiinom lang sila ng kape….
to the customer care & higher tech group – MGA TAE KAYO LAHAT!
After hearing your horrible stories, I decided not to subscribe (better stick w/ free hotspots, heehe). Lemme share u this story abt last week, while checking some free hotspots along pasongtamo. I came across MTI…. which I think the Smart Meridian Network. I was able to connect for a while but the initial page of my browser redirected me to the their authentication site. I’ve tried 3x to load yahoo on my browser. Then I decided to shift network. I couldn’t get through any unsecured network. Only the MTI were present all the time in my network list. I restart my pc and still couldnt look up for other network. I change location. Still no other network in my list. The fix? I uninstall my wi-fi driver and have it reinstall. Does anyone knows here how MTI was able to do that? Is this similar to ‘evil twin’?
A.K.A Paranaque User again…
I cant take this anymore… ive been using Smart wifi for 5 months and i cant use it for another 5 months..
Parang mamamatay na talaga ako lol…. Guess what guys.. just now i waitted 5 mins to have an internet connection to post here… (As Ussual..) sinasanay ko na sarili ko na normal tong practice na to (na to expect when u open ur computer it will most likely do not have connection and you have to wait for the chance to go to the internet)
Biro mo… chamba chamba pa na masuerta ka pa kung pag bukas mo ng computer mo may connection.. (para bang mag dadasal ka pa na sana may internet, biro mo unlimited internet daw? lol) atleast now i aint so pissed..
i was pissed off yesterday coz i was doing something important, may buissness kami sa EBAY and we are selling there, also lots of customers emailing on our gmail and we have to deal with this smart wifi bullshit? and my brother (as ussual) like all kinds of online games and he got pissed when his character died (i know it sounds ridiculous) but he said he have to wait to get a connection to go back and ressurect himself and his character’y body decayed meaning he lost all of his belongings.. (he was banging on his computer) and while his doing that (i dont know what to do anymore) since walang kuenta tumawag (as ussual) sa Smart*cough*Dumbass*cough* Wi-fi customer service nila..
pero what really pissed me off is i cant answer promptly to the EBAY customers emailing as 250 emails a day.. (since you have to confirm kung bumayad sila thru paypal etc..) and problems such as customers wants to know their shipping package where to track it and such (tracking number) to trace the package when it lands on US territory (USPS *unitedstates postal service*)
atleast take some TIME to fix the problem.. Smartless Wifi/Bro or wuteva u fcking call urselves.. mahiya nmn kayo tignan niyo sister company niyong PLDT..
in short- SMART WIFI IS FUCKING TERRIBLE.
this is a letter i wrote to meridian telekoms/smart wifi:
“I have been a Meridian Telekoms subscriber for the last seven months, and I have encountered several issues regarding your service that I deem sufficient to warrant the termination of my subscription.
First and foremost, the speed of your internet service, although faster than regular dial-up connections, is not as fast as DSL or cable internet connections. There are times during the day when the speed is not up to par, probably due to network traffic.
Secondly, your billing system causes great inconvenience to its subscribers. Your company does not provide a grace period for non-payment of the monthly fee. In other words, your company operates similarly to a pre-paid internet service. The internet access simply expires every 30 days without notice. Your billing policies do not consider the fact that during the day when the subscription must be paid, such subscriber may critically need internet access for one reason or another. To the dismay of such subscriber, he will just find himself without any internet access without any notice from your company whatsoever.
The common practice used by broadband ISPs in the United States as well as your sister company, PLDT DSL, is to provide the customer with uninterrupted and continuous broadband internet access. Termination of the internet connection does not occur just because the monthly bill was not paid before the monthly expiration date. Termination takes place when the subscriber has been truly delinquent in paying his monthly bill despite notice and collection efforts by the service provider.
Thirdly, there is severe inefficiency between your billing department and technical support. I pay my monthly bill through Banco De Oro, and on several occasions paid in advance (paid for next month’s internet access). Despite such payment, I still encounter the same exact problem I mentioned above- my internet access simply gets cut off on the 30th day of my present subscription. It never continues onto the next month.
The primary reason why a Smart Wifi/Meridian Telekoms subscriber pays the monthly bill on time, or even in advance, is to ensure that his or her broadband internet connection remains continuous and nonstop. My presumption as a subscriber is that upon deposit of the monthly fee with the bank, for all intents and purposes, my subscription is deemed paid.
However, at the end of my monthly subscription, I am bound to call your service center, talk to a customer representative, while he or she asks for the deposit slip (representing my payment) to be faxed to your office. Thereafter, I am asked to wait, and to call back in two hours (to give your customer representatives time to confirm my payment), and only then am I given the activation key in order to access the internet.
Having paid the monthly bill with the bank, no customer must be tasked to present proof of his payment with your company, much less undergo the process I mentioned above just to receive his or her activation key. The responsibility of confirming whether such monthly subscription has been paid falls squarely on your company and the depository bank. This is no longer the responsibility of the customer. If your company insists on this practice, then it would be better if you sold your services through pre-paid internet cards to get the activation key.
Lastly, there is tremendous technical difficulty regarding your connectivity. I have encountered two problems regarding this issue. The first problem concerns the use of wireless routers. I have tried on several occasions to connect my wireless router using your internet connection, however the normal configurations do not work. I sought assistance from your technical support, but I was given scant information and on one occasion was told that such service may be done for a certain fee. During the last seven months, I have been unable to configure my wireless router, while I was able to do so easily when I was using PLDT DSL.
The second problem regarding this issue involves the use of multiple computers. In our household, we have three computers: one desktop, and two notebook computers. I am forced to switch the Ethernet cable from one computer to the other since I am unable to use my wireless router. But due to the Smart Wifi portal protocol, which is unlike PLDT DSL, I cannot easily access the internet by switching the Ethernet cable from one computer to the other.
Most recently, despite an active account, I was only able to open the portal page and log on with my username and password. But instead of directing me to the security page, the portal immediately took me to the transaction menu. I brought this to the attention of your technical support, but so far the problem has not been resolved and I am unable to access the internet notwithstanding my active account.
I realize that this letter of complaint might be an exercise of futility as it may not be given any notice or consideration by the management of your company. However, I believe that a company like yours, under the macro management and leadership of Manuel V. Pangilinan, will not simply disregard the issues I have brought to your attention. These issues need to be addressed immediately not for my sake as a dissatisfied subscriber but for your incumbent and future customers. It is axiomatic specially in the realm of the service industry that client/customer service should be the company’s top priority. I sincerely hope that your company takes this principle seriously.”
paranaque user am also from paranaque. noong nag complain ako….puro sila technical activity or technical difficulty…. after two months of complaining and countless calls to their technical support na ang tagal tagal sagutin, finally nagpadala sila ng contractor nila dito sa bahay to fix the problem. ginawa nila pi noint lang nila ang antenna ko sa ibang base station (from bricktown to merville). ang nangyari gumana ng isang araw after that ganoon pa rin. i suspect super over loaded ang network nila. kahit ilipat mo ng base station ganoon pa rin nag m meet naman kayo sa isang network na overloaded. parang ni route lang nila ang connection pero still we are all transmitting on teh same overloaded highway. ayaw ko nang bayaran ang pretermination fees ng smart. meron na bang gumawa dito niyan. kasi luging lugi naman tayong mga subscribers. we are paying for this shitty service. i don’t want to subject myself to a few more months of suffering and pay for it. good bye smart. i hope someone also will do the same. or all subscribers na iniisahan ng smart ay wag magbayad lalo na ang pretermination fees. in unity we will be stronger and our voices will be heard out loud.
ako rin may problema sa smart wifi. grabe every five minutes i get disconnected. gusto ko na mag pa disconnect sa smart wifi. someone from smart wifi told me that meron pretermination penalties if less than a year ang connection ko. ang sabi ko how come you are penalizing for something not my own doing. i will appreciate if someone has done not paying smart the pretermination fees kahit less than a year ang connection. to me, it is useless na magtiis ng one year and pay for it kung hindi na reliable ang connection. grabe mabuti pa dial-up at mas stable. this so called broadband my smart wifi really sucks. niloloko nila ang mga subscribers. palagi na lang technical activity or technical difficulty ang reason. wala naman silang maibigay na reason why. di nila mameet ang 99% uptime at least. so why pay pretermination fees.
super panget ng wifi ngayun lalo ng nung pumasok ung mga month na may june every 5 mins ata totally nwawala minsan ang tagal pa bumalik …grabe nka tali ako sa kanila !
SALAMAT at na bukas ulet thong thread na to…
MAY GOD BLESS THIS THREAD…
GAGO TLGA SMART WIFI, tama nga mga ibang nabasa kong post d2 GAGO tlga sila… every 5 mins disconnect at wala nlng natatapos either Gaming, Working, or downloading… (lahat yan ginagawa ko, nabubuiset ako pag sa working and gaming), sino ba nmn hndi ma gagalit at mag mura d2??? CUSTOMER SERVICE NILA ginagawa kayong gago, kaya na inis ako at lagi nlng ako tumatawag don at binababa telephono , alam mo ano ginagawa nila?? binababa na nila telephone na tawag ng tawag tas binababa lng…

amp tlga, malas mga napaloko sa smart wifi, malas tlga…. kung nababasa ng mga nasa smart wifi ne2 TANGINA NIYO lahat! hndi ko lng masabi thru PHONE to ksi kapal ng pag mumukha niyo! biro niyo act like nothing is wrong when u call there and ginagawa ka pang tanga na walang alam sa connectivity na pinapa restart na lng lagi, ang PROBLEMA SILA hndi COMPUTER NATEN!
at isa pa, pag tumatawag kayo may parang caller ID sila pag nakita phone niyo biglang magkakaron internet, pagkatapos mo ng tawag wala nnmn internet…
I WAS A DECENT MAN AND GOT PISSED AND NOW LOOK WHAT U MADE ME SMART WIFI, you dont know how pissed millions of ppl arround philippines at smart wifi at, akala niyo bata kaming tanga na gagamit na putol lagi ang connection? mahiya kayo smart wifi mas ok pa dial up na tri isys.
ung ip ba ntin sa smart wifi static?? sabi kc ng csr dynamic daw, pero how come na prang di nman sya nag chchange pag nirerestart ko ung lan
ang panget ng smart wifi tang inang toh very poor customer support, laging napuputol ang connection, it will take 3 to 5 days bago bumalik ang connection BULOK BULOK BULOK talaga lintek peste….wag na kayo mag subscrube dahil total waste of money lang talaga 1 yr ka pang naka tali sa kanila, so 1 yr ang mag titiis sa kabulkan ng connection…lumakas lang ang hangin mapuputol na agad connection.
pwede wag nyo ilagay ung mga IP nyo kc pwdng gamitin nila yan……
hey abe, i thought you closed this thread already?
Hello Everyone,
I have created a dedicated website for all subscribers of Smart Wifi at SmartWifi.org.ph.
That site will serve as a staging ground for all complaints and discussions about Smart Wifi. I am closing this thread to any discussions and will allow people to submit their stories on that dedicated site.
I have spent a fair amount of my time, effort and money to create that site for all of you so please have some respect and sincerity.

Hello Guys!
This is a democratic country and I will allow anything you want to say. It’s your opinion.
Just be carefull what you say. I will edit and delete comments that include foul words. That’s the limit of my leniency here.
Have a good day to everyone!
i’m running at 100 kbps only right now. ouch!
@ Sikret
let’s just let pinnochio say what he wants to say, that is his right. it’s just amusing to see that he won’t listen to reason, he stubbornly refuses to stop. baseless accusation will always be a crime, if he can’t prove what he professes to be true then he shouldn’t say it. now he’s saying that it’s merely guilt? i believe that you can’t change other people but you can only change yourself. i say we move on and try to address the real issues at hand with regards to smart wifi. i’m tired of explaining time and again (that i’m not a smart employee, not paid by smart, not lying). if he doesn’t want to believe adn if he doesn’t want to stop then that’s his problem. let’s try to help one another solve the real problems here. please try to call the tech supports again, give me a feedback ok?

@ sikret
what happened to you happened to me several times in the past too. you have to show them that you’re very angry and demand that you speak to their supervisor right away. don’t wait for a call back, tell them that you’re willing to wait on the phone. tell them that you wish to terminate your subscription if no one visits you within the day. bro, be assertive,, that’s the only way with these people. the lower techs are just doing what they are told to do and i understand how you feel when they ask you to type ping 10.0.0.1 -t, ping www.yahoo.com, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, enable and disable lan, restart poe, restart pc. yes, it’s always like that so you need to talk to the higher techs and you can do that if you appear forceful. bro, this is what i did and it worked for me, i hope it works for you too. and while you don’t have internet connection be sure you ask for rebates for those dates, you shouldn’t pay for something that you didn’t use.
@pinnochio2
Paano ka nakakasigurado? ang sabi mo silay iisa. hindi kaya nasosobrahan ka na sa panghuhusga ng isang tao? malala na yan.. kung totoo ang mga sinasabi mo or mga husga mo, kelangan mo ng patunay.
at kung hindi mo naman sigurado, itigil mo na dahil ang panghuhusga ay mali.. alam kong alam mo yon.
Wala akong kinakampihan sa inyo, pero kasi nakikita ng lahat ang mga pinagsusulat nyo dito sa blog at sila rin… ay tumitingin ng tama o mali sa inyong dalawa.
@Yuga
umm.. hirap po mag load ng napakaraming post, lalo na kapag ang connection mo is dial-up or smart wifi. nyahahaha..
request ko lang po is kahit gawing 2 pages.
@lance
Yea, i called them.. for about five times. paulit ulit lang pinapagawa nila saakin. paulit ulit sinasabi nila parang robot. Ung troubleshooting lagi pinapagawa nila namimilit pa.. eh @#!#@*!! ginagawa na kong tanga kaya nagalit ako dun. dahil alam kong hindi maaayos yon sa ganon. Lagi silang promise na tatawag ung high technical pero wala pa rin, tumawag sa nanay ko eh ung nanay ko nasa pampangga. lolz.
Tatawag nga ulet ako mya pag uwi eh. this time babarahin ko na ng malala pag pinagawa ulet ung troubleshooting. at mag rerequest na papuntahin ung technical ditu samen
@ Sikret
have you called the tech supports? they should send someone to your place to fix your connection.
hmmm hehe… tagal kong nawala.
@Tulits
wala pa rin connection, “Limited or no connectivity” ang nakalagay pa rin sa status
hindi kasi ma reset dun sa RJ11 jack, hindi ko alam, baka hindi lang ako marunong may i-pi-pin pa daw ako eh kaso hndi ko naman alam kung pano.
AWTZ hindi ko na matiis na walang connection samin!! baka umabot pa to ng 1 month hindi na yata magagawa. bulok yata equipments nila!!
@ pinnochio
can’t you stop already??? obviously you lack something but i still have to figure out what that is. enough lame posts and you should think about what you said too. your posts and acronyms are not what this blog needs, that i believe. stop using riddles and cliches and go straight to the point. i am really getting tired of reading your posts that say the same thing. if you’re not happy nor satisfied with this service then why don’t you just terminate your contract? it has been done i assure you. for your sake (you might lose your sanity) i think you should just let go and and get another isp. i really want to help you so that is my advice. go and do something more productive with your time instead of constantly trying to prove to people that smart wifi is a worthless company. many of them already know that so stop brainwashing them.
Sâ€a “Mâ€agnanakaw “Aâ€ng “Râ€eserbasyon ng “Tâ€alino – enough already. maybe you could share with us something new like your connection status, tips on how to improve our connection etc. try to be more positive for a change. and yes, the Lord will be the judge. Think about what i said.

wow! i was gone for about 5 hours (i do have a life too people, i have to work too! hehe) and look at the number of posts! wow! what can i say? pinnochio, whatever works for you, tagalog, wrong grammar or not, that’s your life. whatever you think of me i really don’t care because i know who i am. i just want to clarify once and for all that i am not a smart employee, never have and never will be. no one has paid me anything to say something for or against that organization. if you profess to speak the truth then that goes for the two of us. yes, let democracy live on! it’s time to move on too because we are moving so far off topic and this is not beneficial to the other readers of this blog. i just don’t think we should point fingers at one another anymore. if someone on this blog cannot stand reading what is posted on this blog then he/she should just leave. there are other blogs about smart wifi elsewhere. let’s not blame yuga for this mess, please let’s not.
@ gfx machine
i’m not fighting anyone in that context. just some clearing up of facts. thanks for your concern and for the song.
Dapat kasi habang may problema kayo smart people sa birth pains na sinasabi ninyo , libre muna yung inyong mga customers di ba , parang beta testing!!Pag ayos na yun mga connections at stable na , saka pa lang kayo maningil di ba?
Tang ina nila , bakit ako magbabayad ng P988 pesos kung kasing bilis lang ng ISP bonanza!!! Ano sila HILO!!!!
Wag na lang tayong mag bayad sa smart kung di tayo kontento, ganun lang!!! Kung bulok ang service bulok din dapat ibayad. Mura pag bilasa yun isda sa palengke di ba? Bakit ka paloloko, ano sila hilo!!!

KUNG NAHIHIRAPAN PO KAYONG INTINDIHIN ang sinasabi kong mataas ang resulta ng speed testers PERO mala-pagong ang browsing sa napakaraming sites, ganito na lang po ang imaginin ninyo. PARA BANG ANG PAG ACCESS SA SITES NG MARAMING SPEED TESTERS AY PINADADAAN SA “EXPRESSWAY”.. mabilis ang sasakyan doon di ba….dahil maluwang ang daan… walang problema kaya mataas ang resulta ng speed tests.
ANG ACCES NAMAN sa maraming sites … sa napakatrapik na kalsada ang daan. KAYA mala-pagong ang browsing natin… PERO magugulat ka… ang taas ng result sa speed test.
Ito pong configuration na ito ay controlado nila…para bang LOG-IN PROCESS dito sa yuga. Na pag nabubuko… ay ibabalik nila sa normal. tapos saka sila magsasalita na sasabihing BASELESS ang ating masusing ANALYSIS at mga teorya na galing sa COMMON SENSE.
GANON lang po iyon…. NILOLOKO NG SMART ANG SARILI NILANG SUBSCRIBERS. KATULAD DIN DITO, MINSAN MAWAWALA ANG LOG-IN process, MINSAN MERONG LOG-IN PROCESS….
pera lang po kasi ang katapat ng mukha nila!!!!
aND i REST my case for posters and readers to judge.
TRUTH SHALL REIGN…..
MABUHAY ANG KATOTOHANAN. AT ITAPON O IWAKSI ANG NAGTATABON NITO!
READERS AND POSTERS… TINGNAN NYO LAGI KUNG MERON O WALANG LOG-IN PROCESS. PAG TINANGGAL YON NI YUGA, MERONG KABABALAGHANG GAGAWIN….. KAYO NA LANG ANG HUMUSGA…. IBA NA KASI PAG KUMILOS ANG PERA NG SMART.
YUNG BROWSING NYO… PAKIRAMDAMAN NYO KUNG MABAGAL O MABILIS… HUWAG UMASA SA MARAMING SPEED TESTERS SAPAGKA’T RIGGED ANG VIRTUAL CONNECTIONS DOON. GINAGAWA NILANG MAS NAPAKABILIS NG PAG-ACCESS SA SITES NG SPEED TESTERS. PARA NGA NAMAN AKALA NATIN EH 200 – 450 Kbps ang bandwidth natin pero sa katotohanan, mala-pagong ang browsing sa maraming sites. mas mabilis pang madalas ang DIAL UP.
yung mga advertisements ng SMART WIFI… KUNIN NYO AT SUNUGIN. DAHIL PAG HINDI MAS DADAMI PA ANG MALOLOKO AT MAS MARAMI ANG KAKAIN SA NAPAKALIIT NA NGANG BANDWIDTH NG SMART WIFI… MAS MARAMING SMART WIFI SUBSCRIBERS, MAS MABAGAL ANG ATING BANDWIDTH DAHIL MAS MARAMING MAGHAHATI-HATI.
IYON LANG PO.
tama si ramil at si mr yuga forget nyo na yung mga nonsense post nyo r2 >>>>> lets talk about smart wifi issues>>>>>> tigil nyo na yang gera nyo mag bati na kayo peace na walang nang gulo ok!
basta ang speed connection ko ngayon ay bumababa, 70kbps lng po pero kaninang madaling araw tumaas ng 512kbps>>>>> hay! naku kainis talaga ang smart wifi >>>>>> nagdodownload panaman ako ng mga porno movies >>>>> hehehe
AT SI “LANCE”… IKAW DIN YUN… TINGNAN NYO… ILANG BESES NA AKONG BUMABANAT NG KATOTOHANAN PERO WALANG LUMALABAS NA LANCE DYAN. PAANO KASI… MASAKIT NA ANG ULO SA PAGTAKIP SA KATOTOHANAN. HINDI NA MAKUHA PANG MAG-MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES. NANGANGATOG NA YATA DAHIL BUKING DAHIL MAY MERITS ANG SINASABI KO .. IKA NGA SA KORTE…..
SIGURADO AKO… PAGKA-POST KO NITONG MESSAGE NA ITO… HETO NA ANG VERY ARTICULATE NA LANCE…. THE “LANCELOT”. PARA HINDI HALATA NA SI LANCE AT SI YUGA AY IISA.
AT PAG SINASABI KONG NAPAKAGANDA AT NAPAKATAAS NG RESULTA NG MARAMING SPEED TESTERS WHILE MALA-PAGONG ANG BROWSING SA NAPAKARAMING SITES DAHIL VIRTUAL CONNECTIONS LANG PAPUNTANG SPEED TESTERS’ SITES ANG “boosted” (SABIHIN NANG MALI ANG GRAMMAR KO, EH HINDI NAMAN AKO NAGIINGLIS NGAYON KUNDI TAGALOG)…. LAGI NA LANG LAGI na tinatabunan ang isyung iyon… dahil napakarami kesa normal ang sumusunod na posted messages…. ang tanong… ilang tao ang pilit na nagtatabon sa sinasabi kong experience ko sa pesteng SMART WIFI na ito??? At ang pagtabon ay nangyayari sa tuwing TINATANGGAL NI YUGA ANG LOG-IN PROCESS…..
HAAAY NAKU…… PILIT NA TINATABUNAN ANG KABULUKAN…. IBA NA NGA PAG KUMILOS ANG PERA.
TAPOS WHEN TRUTH COMES OUT… SAME WORDS ANG MARIRINIG MO SA KANYA…(MABABASA PALA)…
AND I QUOTE HIM….”Better to have the comments closed altogether. ”
And that’s ALWAYS you have to say when truth comes out.
GREAT!!!!!
AT MASAKIT TALAGA SA ULO ANG PAGTAKIP SA KATOTOHANAN. TINGNAN MO AKO… DAHIL MALUWAG SA PUSO KO ANG SINASABI KO… MADALI LANG SABIHIN… KATOTOHANAN EH…
TRUTH SHALL REIGN!!!
And that’s ALWAYS you have to say when truth comes out.
GREAT!!!!!
GAANO BA KA POPULAR ANG “PINNOCHIO” HANDLE AT PILIT NA GINAGAMIT NG IBA DYANNNN……
HINDI KAYA AKO RIN ANG NANGGAGAYA SA SARILI KO AT AKO RIN ANG KUMOKONTROL SA PAGTANGGAL AT PAGBALIK NG LOG-IN PROCESS. GOOD HEAVEN!!! GREAT.. JUST GREAT!!!
To veryone concerned,
The blog has been experiencing some problems with sending the login account so I opened up the comments without regiustration until I returned it back today.
You see guys, the rest of my comments in this blog has not been giving me any headaches except for this one.
As always, my arbitration here will focus on the people who are talkign about the issues and not the personalities in the comments.
Remember that the problem here is about Smart Wifi and not about people not getting along in this thread.
If this issue does not die down and people not focusing on the real problem, then that means this thread no longer serves it purpose. Better to have the comments closed altogether.
I may not be so articulate as LANCE in using foreign language and my grammar is not as goof as LANCE’s at times and my fingers jitter at times when typing and I ask forgiveness for that. i AM JUST A SIMPLE Filipino just like most people in this blog.
BUT REMEMBER THIS…. I WILL DO EVERYTHING FOR TRUTH TO COME OUT!
Hay nako…. just forget those nonsense post, i-post nyo na lang ang mga status ng mga connection nyo mas ok pa i think, kaysa mag away-away kayo dito… Remember ang Company ng (Smart/ PLDT) ang responsible sa mga lahat nito wether the Service is Good or Bad. :) Peace ok? :D
AGAIN I SAY….
I believe that that kind of security SHOULD be retained ALL the TIMES AND NOT AT THE WILL OF SOMEONE WITH “NOT SO GOOD INTENTIONSâ€.
Who controls the retention of the LOG-IN process???? DON’t say it’s me. HAHAHA… I CAN’T EVEN USE MY OLD ACCOUNT “PINNOCHIO” NOW with registered email “wag_ikabit_fiasco****@****.***”
And why is it that the LOG-IN PROCESS is there at times AND NOT EVERYTIME??? To post a message making everyone believe that it is POSTED by someone else who is REALLY INNOCENT of the CRIME….BUT is REALLY POSTED by SOMEBODY UP THERE who has “NOT SO GOOD INTENTIONS” just to thwart the TRUTH from coming out.
And whatever email I used in registering that “pinnochio” account DOES NOT matter in the current issue at hand.
Let them be the judge. The readers and posters alike…. in this blog.
TRUTH SHALL REIGN!!!!!
AND WITH THIS MESSAGE OF YUGA… THE TRUTH IS CLEAR AND EVIDENT…. YUGA SAID….
“It’s possible that some other person or persons are using your IDs here.”
This is a clear evidence to WHAT I SAID that TODAY, LOG-IN WITH USER NAME AND “PASSWORD” IS NECESSARY IN THIS SITE. BUT yesterday, and the other days, log-in was not necessary. A user name WITHOUT entering a password will do. That is why as stated by YUGA….
“It’s possible that some other person or persons are using your IDs here.”
and HENCE, a user with “NOT SO GOOD intentions” can easily use other user’s “USERNAME”

Hello Guys,
It’s possible that some other person or persons are using your IDs here. I am monitoring their IP addresses along with the browsers/OS they use as I can see it from the database and will compare them with the ones who have logins or emails included in the registration.
If you forgot your original access, in the login page, there is a Forgot Password link there you can use to retrieve you orginal account.
================================
AGAIN I SAY….
I believe that that kind of security SHOULD be retained ALL the TIMES AND NOT AT THE WILL OF SOMEONE WITH “NOT SO GOOD INTENTIONSâ€.
Let them be the judge. The readers and posters alike…. in this blog.
TRUTH SHALL REIGN!!!!!
The “pinnochio” username is still there and is active.
However, when I checked the email account attributed ot it, it was “wag_ikabit_fiasco****@****.***”.
It was obvious to me before that the one who signed up for that username used a new email account and not his usual email account.
This move seems to be in bad faith because it masked the online identity of the user.
Bear in mind that your complaints will be useless if you do not identify yourselves as real customers. There is an ongoing effort to get people to do a consolidated complaint.
However, fictitious names and emails might not cut it.
Lance,
you said…..”let the readers of this blog be the judge.”
I agree with that…. let them be the judge. The readers and posters alike…. in this blog.
Whoever posted that FOUL message that was made to appear as if I was the one who created it SHOULD PAY..! I NEVER said it was you…. I said “IF LANCE was the one.. then he is talking to himself”….
AGAIN.. I agree with that…. let them be the judge. The readers and posters alike…. in this blog.
The posters SURELY experienced the way I experienced. I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT TODAY, A POSTER NEEDS TO “LOG-IN” WITH HIS USERNAME AND PASSWORD FOR SECURITY REASONS. It was DIFFERENT yesterday and the other day as a POSTER DO NOT NEED TO LOG IN, a user name WILL DO, WITHOUT entering a PASSWORD. I’M SURE POSTERS YESTERDAY AND THE PREVIOUS DAYS HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT. I believe that that kind of security SHOULD be retained ALL the TIMES AND NOT AT THE WILL OF SOMEONE WITH “NOT SO GOOD INTENTIONS”.
AGAIN I SAY….
I believe that that kind of security SHOULD be retained ALL the TIMES AND NOT AT THE WILL OF SOMEONE WITH “NOT SO GOOD INTENTIONS”.

@ pinnochio2
in my effort to be nice to you you twisted it around and made it appear that i was the bad guy. again, so pathetic. yuga made it a point that all posters here have to log in to be able to post. last night you were attacking me all over the place using your name, pinnochio. this morning i woke up and read your post. how did i react? did i curse you? did i react in kind? no. i felt pity for you. when you posted a while ago as pinnochio2 i forced myself to believe that you were telling the truth. now i really don’t know if you are. you keep on saying this baseless accusations and general statements and preposterous ideas. who is misleading whom? have you posted anything worthwhile about smart wifi or your connection status or something useful for that matter??? no! you have tried so hard to bring me down but i don’t think that will happen. this blog is not for bickering and i’m tired of you and your comments about me and the truth and whatever nonsense you say. let the readers of this blog be the judge. if you don’t have anything else to say except your wothless riddles and cliches then you’d better just leave. and don’t come back. stop attacking people here. once again, grow up!
There’s a lesson learned here. And everyone SHOULD GROW.
For TRUTH’s SAKE.
Yuga,
I am so sure with my username and password for the id “pinnochio”. I am just wondering why I can not use it anymore.
Thanks.

you already stated that you were not the one who created that offensive post. why are you insinuating that i created that post and i was merely talking to myself? i want to believe you but if you always attack me personally and accuse me of something which i did not do then i cannot accept that. if you believe that you did not write that post then that’s up to you and your conscience. in fact i should be the one angry at you for cursing me in that post but i am being logical here. now go and use logic too and stop accusing me of using other names to further my cause. i do not operate that way. think about what i said and stop acting that way. you shouldn’t blame other people all the time. if you didn’t write that post then so be it. enough said.
If you had a feeling that I was not the one who posted such profanities, then why is it that you posted the INSULT below…. without even using the expression “If Pinnochio was the one who posted this…” …. that would be better….
There’s a lesson learned here. And everyone SHOULD GROW.
For the TRUTH’s SAKE.

@ pinnochio
nice answer, very nice. as usual your comments are very helpful and so professional. thank you for revealing to everyone on this blog your true colours. i choose not to reply in kind because it is both unethical and immoral. i suggest you take your curse words and insults elsewhere. if you can’t handle my opinions i’m sorry for you. grow up pinnochio, for your sake.

Hello Guys,
It’s possible that some other person or persons are using your IDs here. I am monitoring their IP addresses along with the browsers/OS they use as I can see it from the database and will compare them with the ones who have logins or emails included in the registration.
If you forgot your original access, in the login page, there is a Forgot Password link there you can use to retrieve you orginal account.
I believe that YUGA stated in his previous message that he will delete FOUL comments. Why is it that that foul message that was made to appear as if I was the one who posted it was never deleted??? Mr Administrator,…. you got to answer this….
@ pinnochio2
i had a feeling it wasn’t you who posted that message since you have never uttered such profanities before. we may have our differences but that post last night was something else. i don’t know who did it but that was really weird. thanks for clarifying…
If that foul message that was made to appear as if I was the one who posted it was in TRUTH and IN FACT created by LANCE… then he is talking to himself.
FIRST… I never posted this message. I closed my business establishment at 10:07pm last night, April 19, 2006. I was able to see “Jewel in the Palace” with my wife at home. This message was posted by someone with “NOT SO GOOD” intention at 11:28 pm.

tangina mo lance lumabas ka dyan sa lungga mo gago ka suntukan tayo ano! magkita tayo sa payatas dumpsite doon tayo magsuntukan o kaya magpatayan magdala ka na ng iyong sandata at magdadala rin ako ng sandata kukunin ko yung tubo ko sa canopy ko ihahampas ko sa pagmumukha mo!
amfuta ka! ano! replay ka!
=======================
second….I can NOT log in anymore using my old id here(i.e. pinnochio) that’s why I created another one. I just want to ask the administrator of this site WHY it happened????
I think YUGA is in the best position to answer this.
TO: ALL SMART WIFI SUBSCRIBER
Worry no more guys, Rep. Rep. Manuel “Way Kurat†Zamora is on your side, he also is a Smart Wifi subscriber that has been having headaches with his internet connection since it was installed and it’s frequent basestation technical activities. his employee called the hotline to inquire how to terminate their subscription and he was shocked to be informed that they are required to pay the pretermination fee even that his internet connection only gave him headaches. so instead of arguing with a CSR/TSR, he made a bill and raised it to the congress to make an investigation about this matter since he was also informed that the number of complaints the NTC is receiving is very alarming..
MABUHAY! KA WAY KURAT, SANA INVESTIGAHAN YAN NG MAS MAAGA! PARA MALAMAN LAHAT NG WIFI USERS KUNG ANO BA TALAGA ANG ANOMALYA DYAN SA SMART COMPANY! >>>>>> ADD NYO NAMAN AKO SA YAHOO MESSENGER NYO MGA BRO PARA KAPAG NAKAONLINE AKO PAGUSAPAN NATIN YANG BULOK NA SISTEMA NG SMART WIFI(“,) sammy_gfx_****@****.*** (boys and girls lng po bawal ang bading) hehehe
Ako din po si Tulits(isa ko ID).hindi ako makalogin using yung id ko na yun eh kaya nagcreate ako ng bago.Totoo po na ako rin yun.ok.
@lance
mukhang hindi ka titigilan nyan ni pinnochio.huwag mo nalang pansinin.nonsense naman lagi sinasabi nyan eh.mahilig lang magmarunong at magmagaling.
@yuga
mukhang nakalusot sayo yung message ni pinnochio ah.hindi kaya ikaw din yan?just asking..
sana last na yung ganyang klaseng komento.thanks
@sikret
ano na status nung problema mo?wala ka pa rin ba connection?
@ Magz
there’s just one person who’s making trouble here, maybe he has nothing better to do. but why does he have to use different names? let’s just not mind him too much and maybe he’ll go away.
Grabe naman yan, iba-ibang pangalan, pareho naman ang nagsusulat. Halata naman the way sinulat ang comments eh. DI BA, halata naman, hehehe!
Mukhang OFF-TOPIC na ata yung iba dito. WAG kayo dito mag-away, dalhin nyo na lang sa iba ang sagutan nyo. PARE-PAREHO lang naman kayo.
@ pinnochio

@ vinvinvin
my speed has somewhat returned to normal, last night was a nightmare though.
@ caloy
very good!!! that’s what i do too and somehow i feel happy knowing that i am not a total victim of their unstable and inconsistent service.
@ rbx
in the past i was so enraged by what they were giving me (super slow speeds, frequent time outs etc) but now i’m a bit more content. i have to be since this service is my only choice here in my part of the woods.
@ cci
it is so refreshing to hear someone ask the moderator of this blog to screen comments for curse words and such. good work!
@mr. yugatech
sir pakibantayan sana yung comments ng topic nyo.puro naman murahan at kung anu-ano pa.akala ko ba delete mo yung may mga words na hindi magamda pakingan sa tenga.
@ to all,
Aaaah basta sakin ,sa madaling araw lang mabilis , sa hapon at gabi dila up ang bagal. Bilang ganti sa smart binabagalan ko rin yung bayad ko …heheheheh unti unti rin yung bayad!!!
@lance
you’re right bro.
just get your money’s worth with any service you acquire,
i’m just being practical about subscription.
being satisfied would be your personal choice but question is, are you happy w/ what you got? as promised? is it worth your time?
@Lance, Oo nga! Biglang bumagal! Nakakainis! Sobra! Puro RTO na! Huhuhu!
@ rbx
you can always get out any time, just read the blog carefully. if you guys are really not satisfied with the service you’d better just leave it and change providers. it has been done i assure you. the reason we’re still here and still suffering (at times, many times) is because we have no other choice. i choose to be content with this service but there are times when i feel desperate too.

guys, i experienced a 10 minute disconnection and when i got reconnected my speed dropped below 50 kbps. prior to that my speed and browsing was quite fast.
@ dfgfer
i agree.
Mga bro, huwag kayong mag aaway d2…peace na kayo kung maari…
@ pinnochio
did i ever urge anyone to subscribe to this service? never! i even told someone on this blog to subscribe to globelines because at this stage smart wifi is not really stable and consistent. was that misleading??? now if i were a smart wifi employee shouldn’t i be telling everyone here to subscribe to smart wifi??? i am simply stating the status of my connection and whatever problems i am experiencing. your logic is certainly one of a kind pinnochio. use logic and commonsense, i hope you know what they mean because i certainly do.
@ Sikret
who is?
@ pinnochio
i can always count on you to attack me personally first, then make a general statement which you want everyone to subscribe to, then accuse me of being a smart employee. don’t try too hard okay, you might strain yourself and get injured in the process. a brain can only take so much… if you don’t want me to respond to you then you shouldn’t attack me personally, that’s just not fair. and what’s that about true colours? wasn’t i the one who said something like that in the past? hehe, no originality. pathetic pinnochio, simply pathetic. i do not know why you think i am misleading people on this blog. is telling people on this blog that my internet connection is good a form of misleading? is disagreeing with you considered misleading? you have to get over the fact that your arguments are not that brilliant, forgive me when i say this but they are really preposterous. it is you who should stop saying general statements, this blog is for everyone and your opinion is not the only one that counts. further, i urge you to drop the idea that i am a smart employee, it is lamentable that you cannot accept that. move on pinnochio and save your energy for something more worthwhile. if you don’t want to and continue to pester me i have no recourse but to play along but i have no doubt that you will …. go figure it out!

@ pinnochio
you simply haven’t gotten over the fact that there are other people smarter than you.
=======================================
Where did you get the idea that I haven’t gotten over the fact that there are other people smarter than me. There are a lot of people smarter than another. And what about you… what do you mean with that statement of yours, implying that you are the SMARTEST of ALL???!!!…. hehehe…. I pity you. What is important is NOT to mislead people…
Yes! I believe you are smarter than anyone in this blog. The question is…. in what way… IN MISLEADING PEOPLE???!!!!!
Your true color is obvious and yet you still state that you are NOT Smart’s employee…. hehehehehehe…… What’s wrong in saying the TRUTH????!!!! Accepted na nga ang tulad mo sa klase ng lipunang ito eh. Okay lang yun!!! just say the TRUTH!!!!
i mean iniiba mo lang pangalan mo no.. -.-
-_- andami mong sinabi, iisang tao ka lang naman.. hindi kami ganon ka bobo no.
hay wala pa rin akong connection!! 2 weeks straight.
tama ba na ang RJ11 ay ung end ng telephone cable????
SAME here!!!! ambagal ng browsing ko!!!! PERO sa SPEED testers nakakapagtaka!!! bakit???!!!! 220+Kbps ang result!!!! HABANG gapang ang browsing ko!!!!
WALANGHIYA, kala ko, ako lang nakakaexperience nang ganung kababalaghan ah!!! mabagal din ang browsing ko! Parang DIAL UP! pero sa speed testers, mataas ang reading, mangisa-ngisa lang ang nagbibigay ng mababa at tamang reading!!!
Ano nga kaya ang nasa likod ng kababalaghang ito!
Sa inis ko, nag ISP bonanza na lang ako. Mas mabilis!!!
nung nabasa ko po yung sinabi ni Pinnochio, I tested my connection with SOME popular speed testers. Most of them yielded results as high as 150 to 250 Kbps. PERO alam nyo po… napakabagal nga ng browsing sa mga sites tulad ng nba.com, friendster, hotmail, and for God’s sake even google.com!!! IILAN lang po iyon sa mga sites na ni-browse ko. pero ang nakapagtataka…. bakit kabaligtaran yata ang results sa maraming speed testers. Lohikal nga yatang isipin ang tulad ng iniisip ni Pinnochio.
I believe Pinnochio’s statements, I am one of those people who are tired of this kind of service. SMART WIFI connection is really frustrating and irritating. With their shitty product, SMART is still brave enough to hide the truth, even making it appear that the subscribers bandwidth is so high when in TRUTH and in FACT the browsing is SOOOOO SLOW….. and what do you get from many Speed testers???? 250+++Kbps!!!!
250+++ Kbps!!! WHILE it takes a lot of time accessing so many sites like friendster.com, yahoo, hotmail, nba, etc…
There’s no other LOGICAL explanation here except that subscribers’ access to SPEED TESTER sites is in some way or another improved by the system by making it appear that your speed is 200+Kbps while your browsing is as SLOW as dial up!

pare ayusin mo yung grammar mo di namin magets yung cnasabi mo
@ pinnochio
you simply haven’t gotten over the fact that there are other people smarter than you. you return to this blog and start it with a personal attack insinuating that i do not understand the term common sense. you sound just like a little girl. and please. …. your grammar has to be corrected.
@ pinnochio
there you go again making general statements. i have had high readings for the past 3 days (390-400 kbps) and during those times my browsing speeds were fast too. not everyone has the same experience as yours. i hope you do not accuse me of being a smart employee simply because i do not agree with you…
mataas ang READING ng speed testers PERO mabagal ang browsing!!!!
wag na magtaka!!! BOOSTED ang virtual connection ng SMART WIFI sa maraming speed testers!!!!
kaya mataas ang READING ng speed testers PERO mabagal ang browsing!!!!
Right now, my browsing is so..so…so SLOWWW…. mabilis pa yata DIAL UP na ISP!!!! And you know what, Majority of Speed testers yield more than 250 Kbps!!!!
250 Kbps!!! and my browsing is so SLOWWWW… yahoo.com, hotmail.com, friendster.com, even this site yugatech.com!!!!
If anyone is experiencing the same way I do, huwag na po kayong magtaka dahil by Analysis and Common sense, ONLY virtual connections to these SPEED TESTERS are being boosted by SMART!!!!
Kaya napakaganda ng RESULT na bigay ng maraming Speed testers WHILE GUMAGAPANG ang browsing natin sa halos lahat ng SITES!!!!
SMART will do anything to HIDE the TRUTH!!!!
to mr smart company:
malamang e isa ka lang sa mga technicians na nagkakabit ng antenna!! wag ka na hirit!!
i hope the ones intrested having a broadband connection/subscription reads these comments about smart wifi..please!!!! be “smart” ..don’t be out-smarted by smart’s advertising!! the heck it really screws up!!
so sorry to smart wifi subscribers but we’re stuck in the same stinkin boat!! the heck with the lousy bandwidth,, suckin connection that cuts, and a f’ckin customer service ..fuck smart wifi!! to MR smart company up there: SCREW YOUR ASS and your Bosses’!! YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS ONE DAY!!
@ MR CABLEMAN
Above all you mention… I think Smart Wifi ang pinaka bulok na technologing ginagamit :cry: Medyo ok pa ang iba… With regards the one you mention Cable internet, Dam… :shock: Ang mahal naman, Hay nako :roll:

speed is different from signal strength, clarification only…
@ Marvin
alam mo pare yung di ko pa tinataasan yung antenna ko ay mahina ang signal (45kbps hanggang 70kbps lng ang signal ko 112kbps naman kapag madaling araw, nakaplan 998 pala ako) at 3 beses na ako na disconnect last week lng (mahal na araw pa naman yon wala me tuloy mapaglibangan kainis) tumawag ako sa smart technical supot amf naman laging busy, nagkaroon ako ng connection april 15 na madaling araw (addict mode ako non napuyat ako kasi miss ko na internet ko kahit ang connection ay 90 kbps lng ) tanghali na ko nagising, pagkatapos nun ay pinahiram ako ng friend ko ng windows long horn install ko sa computer, tapos sabi ng utol ko taasan daw namin yung antenna ayoko nga sana eh pero kinulit ako ni utol buti naman may sobra kaming cable binili ko yun, yung time na naginstall ang mga unggoy(taga smart) sa bubong namin……………………..
…….. unang kabit namin ng antenna 30 feet ay nawalan din kami ng signal so walang connection ang internet ko amf, inadjust ng konti ng utol ko yung tubo …… wala parin connection…. so nagpahinga na kami ng utol ko kasi maggagabi na rin yon… maya maya binuksan ko ang computer ko… laking gulat ko na nagkaroon ako ng internet connection then try ko yung speed test WOW gulat kami ng utol ko… amfuta 512 kbps ang speed connection namin wow di ako makapaniwala
inulit ng inulit ko yung speed test tumataas mula 512kbps hanggang 975kbps… at minsan pa nga kapag madaling araw ang natural speed nya ay 745kbps to 975kbps, ang sarap magdownload ng mga bold at saka porno movies .torrent>>>> yan ha! kinuwento ko na sayo ang talambuhay ko. ok!
(^_^) baka gusto mo kwento ko sayo pati buhay ko
hehehehe =) =) (*_^)
to gfx machine
Tol yung di mo pa tinaasan ng 30 feet yung antenna mo di ba maganda connection mo? Ano pa ang status ng connection mo nun tol? Nagpuputolputol ba connection mu nun at mahina rin?
anyone know how to map a port or port forward on canopy 7.2.9
@ Nestor and Marvin,
Pag isahin na lang ninyo yun forum sa GMA,
subukan nyo i upgrade ang os nyo na windows longhorn o kaya yung latest windows vista, balita ko daw mabilis ang os na yon try nyo lng… kasi nagupgrade ako ng windows vista then tinaasan ko yung anntenna (canopy) ko sa bubong mga 30 feet, ginamit ko yung payat na bakal na ginagamit sa tubig parang pvc pero bakal….wow lam nyo ba na ang internet connection ko ay umaabot sa 256kbps hanggang 1mbps, ang lupet,,,, di nga makapaniwala yung utol ko eh! …. yan tips ko sayo mga subscriber ng smart wifi pero depende yan sa cellsite nyo kasi yung cell site d2 sa location ko ay malapit lng sa kabilang subdivision lng po….
Message pala di blog ehehehe…
Ha? May blog ka dito?
ahhhh..
Q:> ung RJ11 ba is ung nasa end ng phone line yon ba yun?
@lance
wala lang trip lang. hilig mag explore eh. nyahaha… hindi… kasi.. sabi nung lecheng robot na technical… ayaw daw ma renew ung IP address ko.. so hindi daw kasi ako makakaron ng connection sa ganung ip address ko. naisip kong kelangan maiba.. try ko ibahin ung TCP/IP settings wala naman nangyari. So naisip kong ibahin ung config ng canopy. rereset ko nalang. kapag nakakita nung RJ 11.
@Tulits
thanks.. try ko un. ayaw pa rin kasi ma access nung try ko sya i access sa napalitan kong address ginawa ko kasing 0 ung dalawang 1. 169.254.1.1 naging 169.254.0.0 hahaha… try ko kasi kung anu mangyayari….. nawalan na ko kasi ng pagasa na mag kokonect tong wifi ko na to eh khit anu nalang pinakialaman k haha.
@caloy
pinalit ko yata sa pinaka una is 169.254.0.0 imbis na 169.254.1.1………. tapos hehe… sineyb ko at rineboot. hmph! tpos un n d ko na ma access
@ sikret
why did you change the ip address of the canopy?
@sikret
#nagpalit kb ng ip address(169.254.1.1)sa canopy nung na-access mo ito.i think sa ip configuration icon yun ng canopy.
#kung napalita mo sya,natatandaan mo ba yung nilagay mo na ip address?kung tama ang nailagay mong ip at naisave mo at nagreboot ka,ang dapat na ilagay mo na ip address sa pc mo ay yung bago na ip.palita mo yung dati na nakaconfigure sa pc mo(169.254.1.x)
#kung nakalimutan mo yung bagong ip na nailagay mo kailngan mo talagang gumamit ng rj11(default plugger)ang tawag.ang work kasi nun,isasalpak mo lang sya sa antenna(rj11 port ng canopy)at maaaccess mo ulit yung canopy config.using 169.254.1.x ip series at saka mo ppwedeng ireset to default config. yung unit mo.meron icon dun sa canopy na reset to default config..
#napakahirap kasi galawin yan(canopy config.)kung wala ka idea sa gagalawin mo.
#kahit mapalitan mo yung ip at maaccess mo yung equipment meron parin dapat gawin para makakuha ka ng signal.
#much better kung pavisit mo na yung place mo.malalaman nman nila yan kung down ang unit mo kasi meron sila pangmonitor dyan at malalaman din nila na ginalaw mo yung equipment mo so no choice ka pa rin pero maaayos nman internet mo…
#payo ko lang sa lahat: okay lang na galawin nyo yung canopy equipment wag lang kayo magpapalit ng ip address.wala naman kinalaman yan sa wireless link eh…wag natin pangunahan yung mga nakakaalam.kaya nga meron call center ang smart eh para dun nyo sabihin ang problem nyo.kung hindi kayo satisfied sa kanila,try nyo tumawag ulit at baka meron agent na makakasagot ng tama sa katanungan nyo….
Nakakabanas pala kung your running 5kbps!!! for 2days nagkataon pang bakasyon. as of now my thinking is hindi reliable ang smart. in regards naman sa price parang lugi pa. kasi you always would not know kung kailan meron o kailan wala o kailan mabilis o kailan naman sobrang bagal. most of the time kung kailan mo gagamitin dun nagloloko either mabagal o walang connection at all, siguro about 20%~30% based on my experience (estimated). i check may email baka sakali may system upgrade sila pero no email found & besides kaka email lang nila nung last week nagupgrade sila. the questions is how many upgrade pa kaya they needed to run their system smoothly. bottom line is, as of now eh di pa reliable ang kanilang service this is based on may experience.
“sana may connection ako mamaya at sana makuha ko yung 988 pesos worth na bandwith which is around 256~384kbps!”
@sikret
yung canopy config page set factory defaults lang para bumalik sa dati yung settings.para naman sa canopy equipment kelangan mo ng RJ 11 para ma reset mo manually.search mo na lang sa internet kung ano itsura ang RJ 11.saan ba location mo?
@ lance
Hello… my Firend, Sorry for late reply, You are asking me if im a Current Smart Wifi subscriber? no i’m not.. though i have apply for PLDT-Wifi and come to think of, they are the same company using the backbone of Meridian Technology Hmm.. correct if im wrong for that ok? You know.. Way back March 8, 2006 i applied for PLDT-Wifi but there’s no chance for me to avail the service because of “Line of Site Issue” and mine you i am just 1km or less far from the Base station. And in additional PLDT DSL here are so Dam.. I mean they have also poor Tech. Representative, I remember i apply last June 2005 for plan 999 PLDT DSL then they told that they have no Port avaible anymore for this one… and so they told me to wait for next year, that’s 2006.. Hell yeah! It’s 2006 already.. I call them for verification for my application, then they just told me that they still don’t have “PORT” available for this one… WHAT? i told to myself What the Fuck is the meaning of this? Oh! Great!!! Last February 2006 they have this kind of “PROMO” DAW… they are asking me or others who want to avail the plan 999 to Pay for 1 YEAR plan, i remember that’s about 10,700 i think.. and so… i have dicided/ plan to Go for it… because i can’t avail wifi, No choice at all. and just this first week of Apri 2006 i go to our PLDT Business office and look for person incharge there and i told him that i’ll apply for it. And you know what She Told me? Sir.. Sorry po, wala pa talaga kasing Port Available para dyan.. Hindi pa dumating… baka? remember she told me “The baka Word”, baka next year pa meron na 2007. NGE!!! WHAT the Hell… Umasa lang ako sa wala.. grabe naman yan! Hangang ngayon wala pang port available dito sa Zamboanga City? imagine the “Port Issue” here is more than 1 year already and until now wala pa! But mine you.. They are still offering services for Netcafe.. HAy buhay! That’s whay i’m hoping na sana may GLOBElines broadband na dito though they have business office already here but the Broadband services are not yet available…
@ Nestor Velasquez
Bro.. Count me in… Sali ako dyan im here to voice out too about their bad services ok..
@ sikrek, pinalitan mo ba yun 169.254.1.1 ng canopy??? anong ip address pinalit mo?
i lost respect for smart 6 months ago when i was a new subscriber, their service really sucked i admit. but i never lost respect for myself therefore i refuse to swear and cuss. that is my choice. it’s your choice too to swear and curse to relieve tension or whatever. or maybe that’s really who you are. i don’t care. whatever works for you.
Ewan ko kung bakit natitiis ko pang wala akong connection! 2 times a day ko nang chinecheck kung may connection ako pero wala! 1 week and four days straight akong walang connection!! at ngaun dial-up lang!!
PERO buti nga ung DIAL UP!! mas mabilis pa kesa sa Smart wifi pag dating sa games!!!
hay nag hihirap na ko kaka try mag aus nitung connection ko tapos sabay ganon pa ung technical nila paulit ulit ng sinasabi pra nga silang robot tulad nung sinabi ng iba!
KUMIKITA ba sila don sa ganong paraan!? bat kelangan ka ulit uliting mag troubleshooting eh same lang naman pinapagawa sayo. PALPAK!!
@All

do we really need to curse? is it that bad? or are our morals simply vanishing along with our wifi connections? just asking

as you may have noticed this is a smart wifi gripes blog hehehe…
here you go…. GMA Forums…
http://www.igma.tv/forum/index.php
can’t find the rules though…
does bayantel internet service blocks http port (port80)?
it sucks because i have previously used pldt dsl and got no problems with my DNS domains and updater but when i tried Bayantel it really fuck me up here looking for a solution, their customer service also suck!!!!!
i asked them if they blocks web ports to host a small site but didn’t know it and didn’t even answer it!!!
fuck!!! do you know anything about this?
nagiinit na rin ang ulo ko sa smart wifi na to kagaya nyo …
why don’t we try this, smart wifi subscribers..
hindi naman sa minamaliit ko tong site na to pero, di ba, kung gusto nating may makarinig sa atin, why not dun tayo sa mga prominent figures lumapit to voice out our complains,,, like if we can make Google or Yahoo to have a banner saying like
“HAYUP KAYO SMART, BALIK NYO PERA NAMIN – 988 PESOS PARA 0.2KBPS? NILOLOKO NYO BA KAMI?!â€
in there front page, then that would be cool,,, got the point?
the best chance lang natin ay sa forums ng mga TV companies… ABS-CBN, GMA, etc.. kung mayroon silang forums… and we should pray na mayroong makabasang staff ng company nila na kind enough to help us…
so sa Forums ng TV co…. i don’t know kung allowed sa rules nila yung mga posts na kagay dito. try ko na magvisit sa forums ng ABS, right there
http://forums.abs-cbn.com/index.php?act=idx
then, pag dating ko dun di ko alam kung saang forum ako papasok para magsimula… kea hindi muna ako nag post…
then naisip ko nga na baka ipag-de-delete lang ang mga ipopost natin (dahil baka bawal nga sa rules)… eh as usual, naghihingalo na naman si Wifi kea madali nalang ako, wala na akong time basahin yung Rules of Conduct.. right there,
http://forums.abs-cbn.com/index.php?showtopic=47
so, someone should try reading this para malaman natin kung pede nga yung plano, then post nyo dito kung saan kami pupunta,,, (if ever)
then, try pa tayo sa ibang TV co.!!!
wahahahahahhahahh

Dapat nga sana nyan “802.11g wireless internet” na lang ang ginamit nilang Technology System para hindi masyadong dependent sa line of Site and mas ok compare sa Current Tech. na ginagamit nila… Hay nako basta Next time Wag na kayong mag Smart Wifi unless kung i-change nila ang sistema, Hmmm… I wonder when? or i-change pa ba nila, I guess Kuntento na siguro sila sa Bulok na System Technology nila, Haha… Simply Amazing :(
@ vinvinvin

@ Nestor Velasquez Jr.
5 times??? i’ve been a smart wifi user since september, i’ve called them more than a hundred times and i’ve gotten used to their crappy service. of course it doesn’t mean i should be happy about it. . . if you can persuade mike enriquez to look into this then that would be good. goodluck! in the meantime try calling some more…
Mr. Nestor Velasquez….hehehe… 5 times ka pa lang ba tumatawag??? damihan mo pa…. ako nga 6 months bago napansin ng mga technical supot nila e
@ Tulits
nice point there.
Kung na gawa ng NASA na ma control ang robot na pinadala nila dun para mag explore sa planet MARS na ang layu nun,bakit di kaya ng SMART ang ganung klaseng technology na nandito lang tayo sa planet PHILIPPINES nag papa hangin hehehehe….
May kalapitan ako sa CELL SITE na malapit sa amin pero merong building na naka harang kaya hindi dun naka target ang antenna ko sa CELL SITE na iyon,Sayang,Naka target ang antenna ko sa malayong cell site…
Sana magawan ng paraan ang problema naming ito…
Sana affected ang Connection namin pagkatapos sa SMART 3G na sabi nila may upgrade sa mga CELLSITE,kung may upgrade so lalakas ang radio frequency ng lahat ng CELLSITE at for sure gaganda ang connection natin.
Ahhh grabi na e2 go bobby…
Di na ako mag expect na smooth ang gaming ko sa mga Online Games,lagi na ma DC connection ko mabuti pa yung starting mabilis at tuloy-tuloy,pang surf ko nalang itong SMART WIFI na e2 sa studies ko,addict mode nalang ako pag graduate na ako hehehe soon nxt year…
Dadalhin ko kaya Antenna ng WIFI ko pa lapit sa Cell Site hehehe medyo mataas nga lang ang wire na bibilhin ko para sa LAN hehehe pero for sure di na mapuputol connection nito at baka ang speed 512 kbps and up NO.1 …
here too in southern negros we dont have a connection last night starting 7 up.
@caloy
naka canopy ka na ba?
@cci
pwede ba ma reset ung canopy config ko? hindi ko kasi ma access dahil nga napalitan ip address meron bang reset dun kapag binuksan ko canopy?
nabuksan ko na ung canopy ko.. mukang wala naman akong malilikut don kse hndi ko lam. yaw naman mag punta ng technical dito sa bahay
awtz mukang ga-hirap naman un.. anu ung RJ11? anu hehehe hndi ko lam un pero gusto ko matutunan ha,
@marvin
http://portal.smartwifi.com.ph dyan ka login para makapalit ka password mo.
@sikret
hanap ka ng RJ11 na jack with 6 pins tapos ground mo pins 4 and 6.then akyatin mo yun canopy mo buksan mo tapos may RJ11 slot dun.kaya siguro disconnected ka kasi may napalitan ka na values.
Guys DC internet connection ko kahapon starting 7pm, bakit kaya,hindi ko alam kung ano problema pero still merong laman ang NETWORK PLACE KO so ibig sabihin nito walang probema signal ko sa site, baka may inayus lang smart sa oras nayun,na format ko pa PC ko kala ko sa ZONE LARM PRO amf hehehe,pagka tapos ko reinstall OS ko di parin ako maka connect sa internet pero try ko open NETWORK PLACE ko meron parin mga WORKSTATION PC’s so kung wala na talaga akong makuhang radio frequency kahapon sa time na DC ako bakit nag appear pa ang mga PC’s sa NETWORK PLACE ko e na format ko na nga harddisk ko,ibig sabihin connected pa ako sa NETWORK pero pag connect sa WEB may problema,sino na DC sa inyo kahapon starting 7pm to 12am+2log ako gising 4:30am ngayun at may connection na…
HINDI KO MALAMAN KUNG MAY PAG ASA PA TONG SMART TUMINO?????
BULOK TALAGA SMARTWIFI……..Nagpunta dito sa bahay yung technical supot nila dahil sa reklamo kong mabagal kung hapon at gabi!! Naku wala daw silang magagawang paraan. Nasa smart daw problema!!! Buisit kayo sabi ko , eh bakit pa kayo pina punta!! Sabi ko putol na lang paraan.
Para po sa Lahat…
Bakit parang napakaling isyu sa inyo ang pagiging SMART Employee.Ano bang masama kung maging smart employee at sumali sa koro koro dito sa yugatech.Kailangan pa nating murahin yung tao at magbintang ng walang basehan.Wala po ako kinakampihan.maging maayos po sana ang ating paguusap dito.bakit hindi natin gawing kapaki pakinabang yung mga taga smart na sumasali dito sa yugatech.Mag-ask nalang tayo ng tanong sa kanila na makakatulong sa atin.Sa tingin ko hindi naman yan sila magbibigay ng info.na hindi makakatulong sa atin eh.I think meron mga technical guys dito ng meridian na kasali at maaaring magbigay ng magandang info.Yung mga taga smart i think ibang info sa kanila.meridian is the one handling the tech.of smart(client base)….hindi na po importante kung anong company ako….ang mahalaga eh meron laman ang sinasabi….thanks to all.
@marvin
Tama na nasa iisang LAN(Local Area Connection) lang tayo ng isang basestation pero hindi VLan.Sa bawat BTS Kasi ng smart nag-aasigned sila ng iisang public ip at dun tyo nakasakay through NAT(network address translation)na tinatawag.Sa mababang version(software)ng canopy hindi pa ganun kaganda ang security pero yung mga mataas(i think wala pa sila nun)eh ok ang security at hindi ganyan na nagkakakitaan ang bawat pc.Maaaring yung iba pc eh walang firewall sa lan nila o walng password yung pc nila kaya napapasok.mas maganda mong gawin eh wag nalang pakialaman yung files nung nakikita mong pc or create a folder tapos leave a message na isecure yung files nya and create a password for their machines.Make sure na yung mga pc nyo eh meron password.Kung nakarouter naman kayo,no need na kasi meron na kayo firewall(router).
@ vinvinvin
Kung tama ang sinabi mo bakit ang iba di nag kaka ganito ka2lad sa akin na view ko files nila sa NETWORK PLACE KO…
At iba din ang meron sa WORKGROUP ko meron akong nakitang 10 computer workstations sa WORK GROUP KO including my computer…
but that never happened to me, is that the same for all base stations?
help. pano po ba ibalik ung canopy config kasi na change ko ung IP adress ngaun d ko na ma access ung CANOPY config page
Tama! Ganyan talaga! Nasa VLAN kasi tayo lahat sa isang Base Station kaya ma v-view ninyo ang mga files nila kung naka share…
@ Marvin
that’s weird since that’s never happened to me in the past. you can access their files? what kind of files are they? i recall reading something on this blog which sounded similar to what you said. interesting…
@ lance
Wala akong ibang ginamit kung di LAN Card lang at saka yung antenna at nagiisa lang PC ko sa bahay namin…
@ Marvin
did you setup a network using a router or something?
Na question din ako nito guys bakit kaya pag open ko sa MY NETWORK PLACES ko merong mga folder sa ibang computer,ano ba ito,naka pasok ako sa private files ng iba?Bakit meron yun sa NETWORK PLACE ko,at pag click ko sa work group meron din mga workstation computers,na view ko din files nila,bakit kaya,pareho kaya kami ng IP address etc…,shared ba connection sa internet kaya mahina? Baka ito yung isa sa mga reasons kaya minsa mahina kasi shared connection sa internet….
Comment me…
EY mga tol help naman,anu nga ba yung site sa smart wifi para maka change tayu sa password ng account natin?
At yung CANOPY anu nga ang site nun?
TY
@ Caloy
i think you’re right.
HELP hindi ko na ma access ung canopy config ko.. ehekzz… ewan ko kung bakit pero kinalikut ko kasi ung IP CONFIGURATON tapos un. hindi ko na mabuksan ung canopy config.. hihihi.
alam nyo ba kung pano i balik un?
Meron din akong kapit bahay smart wifi din pero may problema siya kasi DC daw siya palagi,iba kasi ang ginamit na cellsite para sa kanya compared sa akin,naka focus yata sa akin sa southeasth at sa kanya sa southwest…
Sana tuloy2 na connection ko….

no disconnections now and what is your current speed?
Hehehe! Ang saya! Sarap mag download ng movies ngayong Holy Week!
@ yuga
thanks bro, nice intervention. If anyone was offended by anything i said i do apologize. Happy Holy Week!
@ lance
Oopsss!!! sorry for double posting :lol:
I just find this site interesting :) As to Smart Wifi user? No i’m not, due to “line of site issue†you know what i mean.. Thanks.
I just find this site interesting :) As to Smart Wifi user? No i’m not, due to “line of site issue” you what i mean.. Thanks.
I am deleteing any posts that contains swear words, flaming or making personal attacks.
Please stay on topic.
@ Ramil
no flaming going on bro, on my part at least. i’m just stating the obvious and clarifying some points. it would really be nice to contribute here without someone accusing you of being gay or a smart employee, ain’t no fun in that . . . just curious ramil, are you using smart wifi now, plan to, or simply find this site too interesting? it’s good though that you’re sticking around.
Well… I’m afraid this blog is becoming a “Flame arena” or What so ever :(
i had a major disconnection this morning from 8 am to 2 pm, the weird thing was i was able to ping my base station and the replies were perfect, no lost packets. did you guys experience the same thing? vinvinvin? anyone? word of advice guys, whenever stuff like that happens i immediately call the tech and billing guys and report that i have no connection. the moment my connection comes back on i ask that my rebate be processed. it works all the time and i have saved literally thousands of pesos (since september). they are fair when it comes to rebates, maybe because they know that their service is nothing to be proud of at the moment.
@ XxX
really bothered now are you? when you can’t take what somebody says you just tell them to leave? is that how you treat your parents or your friends? scary, real scary! try to act like a man, okay? i know that would be a real challenge for you but change is good specially for someone as (seemingly) emotionally handicapped as yourself. and what’s this about being HONEST? if you’re lying then that’s your problem, not mine. nowhere in this blog does it say that Tagalog should be the only language used, i know english better than tagalog so i use it, is there something wrong with that? actually XxX, i believe you’re the one who should leave since you have not uttered anything useful since you got here. the first statement you uttered was a personal cowardly attack. again, shame on you!
i know who you are are XxX and no matter what call sign you use, you will always be the same pathetic loser. say what you want, i just hope it is for the benefit of the other readers of this blog. don’t blog just to irk me or piss me off, it’s not working. i don’t care if you tail me, i’ve been here long before you started checking this blog out (i’ve been subscribing since september) and i don’t intend to leave. tail me all you want, i don’t really care. God bless your poor, tortured soul bro!
@ dfgfer
thanks…
Hmm.. 802.11 or others basta hindi lang pareho sa Technology na ginagamit ng Smart Ngayon bulok kasi eh.. “Line of Site” Pwe!!! :lol:
Because majority of smart wi-wi subscribers are really,really getting pissed..they should invest more on hi-end equipments,wala na talagang solusyon ‘yan kundi ‘yan.
LEAVE LANCE!!! you cause too much irritation,we do not need your cheesy opinions,we need HONEST smart wi-fi subscribers who could at least pour all their frustrations on these blog,such a way that SMART could redeem themselves and re-assess something
@ Jinkzy
seems like you made the right choice, smart wifi is really not that consistent, i don’t have a choice though so i try to be content with the service. how much is your sky?
@ dfgfer
who?
@ Sikret
they have this formula that they use. let’s just say that i received 191 pesos for 3 days of slow and intermittent connection (this month). last january i received a total of 791 pesos for the whole month. they are good when it comes to giving rebates which is rightly so since their service sucks.
Merong baliw sa blog na ito! Ang daming pangalan at paulit ulit lang sinasabi, akala mo iba-ibang tao!
@ Jinkzy
wireless fidelity
@ XxX
real men DO NOT CONSTRUCT ENGLISH LIKE THAT???
from what age and time do you come from? in this era of equal rights among the sexes you sure sound like someone from the dark ages. i may be articulate but that is by choice. you should try it too. and what made you say that i sounded like an angry boy abunda? hehehe. an angry person is one who utters profanities even without provocation. that meaning could also apply to a stupid person but i know i should not judge people. the people on this blog will see you for who you are. again, i urge you to use your good judgment and for once be a Christian, after all this is Holy Week. What is really sad is that you tend to overlook the real issue here and instead tackle other matters irrelevant to the case at hand. Your maturity is at stake, don’t shame yourself.
@ Jinkzy
Do you really want to play this game?
misan kasi hindi ko kayo maintindihan,sa mga daing n’yo mukhang malaki an problema ng smart wi-fi,di ko alam kasi,naka sky-bayantel kc ako,did i made the ryt choice?okey cla ‘di pa ako nabibigyan ng sakit ng ulo as of now..consistent ang speed at very stable
ano ba ibig sabihin ng wi-fi?
Okey tama yang kabadingan!!! LOL
Sa mga gusto mag pakabit ng smartwifi, please wag muna ngayon kasi lalo lang bumabagal ang mga bandwidth naming mga present smart users . Pag nag dagdag na lang ng bandwidth yun smart hhehehehehehe……………………………………sa ngayon kasi pinag hahatihati lang ng smart yung kanilang kapirasong bandwidth kaya minsan mabilis minsan mabagal.

Nyahahahaha! lol
LANCE should stop posting unreal and stupid comments about SMART,this FAGGOT is …without a doubt from SMART.The purpose of this site is to WARN applicants and would-be subscribers to further evaluate their network choice before attempting to plunge in.YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE,LANCE,Mag-stroll ka na lang sa CIRCLE o ma hapi-hapi ka n lng sa mga GAY BAR…Better yet,go to some GAY websites,where you belong…fucker
@ XxX
you are obviously disturbed. do you need professional help? i do not recall saying anything stupid and unreal but then again that is your perception. it is your right to interpret whatever i said in your own way, sick as it is. come on now, you have to learn that personal attacks are not held in high esteem in this society or in any society for that matter. and FYI the purpose of this blog is for the users of SMART Wifi to share their comments or experiences brought about by this service. this means that users who have been shortchanged can warn others that the service is crappy and users who are content can post their suggestions, comments, etc. nowhere does it state on this blog that it is exclusively for dissatisfied smart wifi users or do i need a magnifying glass to see that.
i have been posting here for quite some time now and i have never attacked anyone personally. what you are doing is character assasination, pathetic XxX. you just have a few posts and in those posts you have been able to denigrate me as well as the third sex. shame on you. go do something more productive because as i see it your posts here have been nothing more than futile attempts to irritate me. Grow up, please, for your sake. readers of this blog will see you for who you are XxX, a highly disturbed person in need of professional help. Go get some.
@ XxX
if you can’t say anything constructive on this blog then maybe you shouldn’t. may i ask what led you to believe that i am gay? for the record i am not gay nor will i ever be. i’m a bit curious as to why you assume that i’m gay. are you angry at gays in general? i think gays are interesting people and they help our society in more ways than one. gay bashing should never be condoned in this democracy!
i deduce that you are making this assumption based on the fact that i am articulate and mild mannered (hehe). i urge you not to judge, be careful as there will be others who will not take your insults sitting down. i’m sure you are just doing this safe in the knowledge that you are untouchable in your own private world, linked to me and the rest of the world through the web. grow up! this baseless accusation is just not right. and to call me a m*ther F@@. i have not done anything to you personally, nor do i plan to. perhaps you are undergoing inner turmoil, contemplating coming out of the closet??? for all i know you may be a “gay in the making”. but again, i respect gay people and if that’s what you plan to become (gay ) then goodluck! Please spend this holy weekend pondering on the meaning of your actions. To lash out in a verbal manner at me, for no particular reason is deplorable. God forgives sinners, He will forgive us all.
p.s. how many times do i have to tell you that i am NOT a smart employee? oh, well, what do i expect from someone who calls himself XxX, curses for no apparent reason and is angry at gays. more power to ya!
LANCE should stop posting unreal and stupid comments about SMART,this FAGGOT is …without a doubt from SMART.The purpose of this site is to WARN applicants and would-be subscribers to further evaluate their network choice before attempting to plunge in.YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE,LANCE,Mag-stroll ka na lang sa CIRCLE o ma hapi-hapi ka n lng sa mga GAY BAR…Better yet,go to some GAY websites,where you belong…fucker

baka nga nasira canopy.. maghapot magdamag k ba naman nag iinternet eh.. hahaha.. ewan. bka nasira lang sa init ng araw?? eh gabi na nawalan eh!!
@sikret
pag may message na “limited or no connectivity” either naka firewall ka like mc afee at d naka set ng tama ang mga exceptions mo or sira na talaga equipment mo.ano ba gamit mo sendfar or canopy?
@yuri
as long na may knowledge ka sa networking madali lang share wifi mo.and marami naman sites sa internet which will tell you how to share your internet connection.kaya kung ayaw mo ng extra charge mag research ka na lang.
@new smartwifi user
dyan mo makita email mo https://webmail.smartwifi.com.ph

Hello guys. ask ko lng if ok yung signal ng smart wifi sa Qc?Frisco to be exact.. Im plannin kc na mag pa kabit ng wifi.
For Real… :lol:
oo nga patient…maging patient ka muna dahil sa sobrang sakit sa ulo, bago mangyayari yun, hehehehe.
peace!
@ YoniPYokA
patience …
kaylan pa kaya yun ???
@Lance
Salamat sa komento!
Alam ko na darating din yung tamang oras na maaayos ng smart o pldt ang ating mga problema.Hindi naman siguro sila nagpapabaya.Alalahanin natin na ang WiFi ay bago lang inooffer sa atin dito sa pinas.Kung meron nga lang sanang same product ang globe at bayantel e masmaganda sana para malaman natin kung sino ang makakapagprovide ng magandang serbisyo pero wala e no choice tayo sa smartwifi.Marami din factors na dapat nating intindihin sa smartwifi.Nung first month ko talagang sobrang pangit din ang connection ko(sendfar).ang naging problema e pangit ang link dahil sa mga bwisit na contractor(tamad mag survey).Pinabalik ko sila at binantayan ko ang pagiinstall,yun sa awa ng diyos e naging ok din sya.Sa ngayon canopy na gamit ko at so far ok din.Konting tiis lang mga kapatid.maaayos din nila yan.Alalahanin nyo na malaking company ang smart at maraming subscriber(GSM).hindi yan magpapabaya sa kanilng pinagkakautangan ng loob…tayo po yun…tayong mga subscriber ang kanilang boss…
@ Ryu Sensei
before connecting any cables to the router insert the installation cd first and follow the instructions. they are easy to follow. afterwards you’ll be able to connect more than 2 pcs. (even more if you use a switch). i tried a d-link before and i have to say that linksys is easier to configure. anyways, i’m sure you can figure this out. again, run the installation cd first. tell me how it went ok?
Hi Guys
I just got my Smart WiFi installed and i was hoping to share the connection via a d-link router. This is the first time I would be doing this so i was hoping for advices and guides… can anyone teach me how to configure my router to share my Smart Wifi connection? i only have 2 PC
Buti nga po kayo khit may problem sa speed.. at least may connection eh…. ako…… puru eto nalang nakikita ko.. no connectivity.. ayoko na nga ikabit ung wifi na to sa LAN ko eh.. dhil sigurado ako na “limited or no connectivity” lang ang makikita ko sa status..
Mainit na nga panahon iinit pa ulo mo sa smart wifi!!
@ Ramil
no question there, everyone has the right to state their opinions (didn’t say you couldn’t). i am content with the service i have because i choose to, you don’t have to be. that’s what makes this country great, free speech, freedom of choice. i do hope that service improves real soon and i like what Technology man said – ” will i have connection today or not, if i do have a connection i hope it’s fast. that sums up my internet existence at the moment, very interesting indeed!
@ Technology man
by the way, you mentioned that you might be on burst speed thus your fast speed. i know our plan is 256 kbps but i’m sure you know that that refers to our top speed (sometimes even higher). we can’t expect to receive that speed all the time though it’s right to assume that we should get at least 60 kbps at any given time (slowest). and yes, the disconnections are not at all amusing.
SMART/PLDT should pirate some of the technical engineers from BAYANTEL/Sky…Their sloppy service is really going out of hand.

Yes your right.. there’s no ISP that is far more beyond or “Perfect” like you say :) but what I am up to here is the Quality Services being offered by such Internet Services Provider, Considering the Fact that most of the people here in this blog, me, and others which are experiencing bad services with regards to this Two Company “Smart Wifi and PLDT DSL” I believe that I and the Rest has the Right to state/ express their Feelings/ Concerns regarding the Services offered by the said Company, I Believe every one make their decision and put their trust to the services they sign/ subscribe for, to extent that Smart Wifi and PLDT DSL may Offer us Quality Services “But They Fail to do So”. And the Last thing is People use to Pay the Exact amount.. and there’s no reason for the Current Subscribers to be just “Contented” for “A Bad Services” concerning the subscribers expectation..
I know that Globelines broadband/ Bayantel and others have a problem at times regarding downtime, But not to the Extent Like Smart Wifi and PLDT DSL particularly the “Plan 999” that is Currently Experiencing now :( “Frequent Disconnection, Low-Speed/ doesn’t rely on Package deal Speed, Or no Connection at all, plus poor Tech. Representative” Hmmm… I may sound like “Anti Smart Wifi and PLDT DSL” but that’s the Very Truth! But to be Fair, I’m still Hoping that Some day, this Two Company, Would Realise and put Their Very Best Quality Services particularly the Subject being said here :lol: Thanks…
@ Technology man
good for you! congratulations! i’ve had 3 good days so far. haven’t had a major disconnection for quite some time. let’s pray it lasts.
Oks na may connection na ako. website loading seems to improve, pero mag tetest pa ako. 256kbps according to testmy.net using the largest file and i get a 258kbps using netstatlive to verify the download.
pero kailngan pa magtest baka nung time na yun naka burst speed ako.
@ lance,
KOREK KA DIYAN, SA MGA NAPAPANGITAN AT NABUBULUKAN SA SERBISYO NG SMARTWIFI, TIGIL NA LANG MAGBAYAD NG MONTHLY, HAYAAN NA LANG MAPUTOL. SA MGA NO CHOICE, KONTI TIIS AT HINTAYIN NALANG MAGKA GLOBE SA LUGAR NINYO.
AKO KASI NO CHOICE, KAYA HINTAYIN KO NA LANG GLOBELINES DITO SA PARANAQUE.
May bagong prob din pala ako using smart wifi… may problem sa yahoo pages… matagal sila magopen at di naloload yung images. Inisip ko na baka yahoo ang may prob pero tinanong ko yung friend ko na nonsmart wifi user kung naoopen nya ang yahoo ng walang problem. sabi nya oo naman daw. hay naku.
New user po ako ng smart wifi. Yung mga naginstall ng connection may binigay na email add na ‘user’@meridian.ph. Ang problema di ko naman alam saan ko maaaccess yung email na yun. May nakaaalam ba sa inyo? Salamat po sa tulong.
@ tulits
you do have a point there. if they want to stop this crappy service they can do it anyday, just inform them (smart), file a formal notice or simply don’t pay them. what’s the worst thing that could happen? do you think they’d bring collectors or lawyers to your doorstep? i highly doubt that. i stopped paying my first smart wifi account last october after only a month ‘s use (service was sooooo crappy then). am I languishing in jail now? i’m still here! smart can’t do anything since they know that their service sucks. of course they’ll try to pressure you into paying due to the contract you signed but two can play the game, right? you can play hardball (like i did) or do the proper thing and file a formal complaint and request for termination like what the others did. we can’t blame the people on this blog though, they need an outlet, to vent their frustrations and anger. i just hope and pray that they remain reasonable and objective enough to see that not everyone is experiencing what they’re going through. this means that things may get better (or maybe not). when faith in the system/service is gone, the best thing to do would be to get out and move on. that, i think, is what they should do. the only problem for them is they don’t have a choice (i believe).
@ Ramil
certain people might misconstrue what i’m about to say and label me as a worker of smart but i have to ask this – how sure are you that globe and bayantel (ISP) are the best? don’t you think they have problems too? they may be better (definitely) but no system is perfect. why would rep. zamora implicate bayantel (along with smart wifi) in his expose if it were such a “good” company. but frankly, if i had a choice, i’d have moved to globelines a long time ago. the problem is i don’t so i try to be content with what i have. i hope the others do the same but that’s not for me to decide now is it?
Ang tanong ngayon
“May connection ba ako ngayon o wala, kung meron sana mabilis”
yan siguro ang madalas natin itanong sa atin sarili.
:)
Sa mga Smartwifi subscriber na sawang sawa na sa bulok na serbisyo at lagi nalang down at laging meron technical activity, ang dapat gawin nyo eh magpadisconnect nalang at lumipat sa reliable isp na gusto nyo.Kung iniisip nyo na hindi pwede o mahirap dahil meron lockin period na 1year,hindi dahilan yan kasi nagawa naman nung iba at hindi na sila nagbayad ng preterm fee.kaya tigilan na ang reklamo.pa terminate nyo nalang para walang sakit ng ulo sa inyo…Smart Simply Amazing!!!
Hay nako! Pareho lang yan sa PLDT DSL pura Salita lang pero wala naman action! In other Words
” BULOK ang SMART WiFi and PLDT DSL”
“THE BEST ang Globelines broadband and BayanTel”
(NO Nonsense)
TALAGANG BULOK ANG SMART LALO NA PAG HAPON AT GABI NA ANG BAGAL TALAGA!! KALA KO BA NAG UPGRADE NA SILA! MAGKITAKITA NA LANG TAYO SA KONGRESO!!!!!
Since yesterday wala akong connection around 10:00pm ako nag start. check ko nanaman kaninang around 6:00am ala pa rin. pagdating ko sa office wala rin connection. pero ngayon ok na may tech na nagayos. ewan ko lang sa amin mamaya. sana wag abutin to ng holiday. BTW may nareceive na rin akong email galing sa smart. may UPGRADE daw.
mukhang sabay sabay tayong nawalan ng connection .
@ yuri
who’s asking additional pay from you? the contractors?
anu ba yan? i paid 988 plus installtion tapos, bakit di ako maka share or di maka LAN? without leaving and letting me know my _ _ _. kailangan pa bang i pa servicesan yan then, i’d be charged sa LAN per cmputer unit daw?
@ ALL, WALA NA BANG KATAPUSAN YANG “technical activity” NA YAN KAKASAWA NANG ALIBI YAN!!
hello peeps.may ongoing technical activity ngayon kaya marami ang maaring ma redirect.baka sabihin nyo naman na lagi na lang dahilan ito ng smart.eh bakit yung isang bayan sa probinsya namin ngayon nag redirect lahat.alam ko na marami na naman ang kokontra at magsasabing taga smart ako.nagkataon lang na may mga kaibigan ako sa smart at ginagawa nila lahat para lang ma serbisyuhan mga subscriber kahit wala silang orders na mag tech support ginagawan pa rin ng paraan.kaya maganda ang resulta wifi dito sa amin sa north luzon, nagkakaroon lang ng problema kung may network problem talaga pero pag sa base station ang paguusapan aba ok naman.
wala na akong pagasa…. titigil na ko sa pag kakalikot ng pc ko at kung anu anu.. tinry ko na ireformat pc ko.. kalikutin config ng canopy… change IP… at.. pati antena pinakialaman ko na rin hahaha… ang stupid no.. anong magagawa ko walang kwenta naman tumawag sa technical nila eh.. lecheng Limited or no connectivity yan… ano kya pde gawin sa smart? sarap patumbahin eh.. tara upakan na naten guys T_T .
ABUSO NA TO.. pero hindi lang ako ung ganito.. sa tingin ko madami pang iba dyan mas malala experience sa smart wifi..
whooO!! sarap mag dial-up talaga lalo na pag summer no.. BWISET!
Okey naman sa umaga speed kaso pag dating ng ng hapon at gabi gumagapang na eh!
Nyahahahahaha! :)
ayan kase mang huhusga kayo hahahahaha.. wan ko kung sinu un siguro inis lang sa CSR kaya tingin nya sa mga tao eh nag wowork sa Smart hahaha.
@ pinnochio
not only are you paranoid, you’re delusional as well. i don’t have to tell you again and again that i’m not from smart, a “wise” man like you should be able to understand that. you need not repeat what you said yesterday, foolishness repeated again and again does not change the fact that it is foolish. be more open minded. not all people who have different opinions other than yours work for smart, that reasoning is totally pathetic. but thanks anyway for directing your “insults” at me, that must have took real courage from someone like you.
@ Sikret
clarification, not argumentation my friend. this democracy affords one the right to reason out and to have differing opinions. that’s what makes this country great! imagine a place where only pinnochio’s opinion would be listened and subscribed to. that would be quite a place. if somebody continually insinuates that a certain person with a differing opinion works for smart then that’s simply pathetic. aside from analysis, common sense too is needed. we all have the right to be heard without being judged. that is how this system should work. by the way i’m sure u didn’t mean lol = ulol. you’re much too kind to use that, thanks for clarifying.
Wag na kayo mag Smart…. Globe is the smart choice.
Uy.. 2mbps na wifi?? hmm sana naman umasenso to para available sa lugar namen. mukang maganda ah… www.wifingbayan.com para naman mapalitan ko ng ganto ang smart wifi ko na KBPS lang mas mahal pa kesa dito.
Yahey^^ ano daw? mag iimprove daw ng system ang smart? hmmm… mukang maganda.. salamat kapag ganoon ang nangyari. para naman sa smart. Sana matagal nyo na ginawa para hindi pa kayo na force. Dahil para sa mga adik mag internet tulad ko.. ay siguradong maaasar kapag hindi maganda ang napili nilang sa tingin nila deserving na ISP. PERO inis pa rin ako dhil naka dial up ako at hindi makaconnect ang wifi ko na to…..
para naman kina lance mag away kayo dyan ha hehehehe pampadami ng comments. lol..(laughing out loud)
kaya LANCE… DYAN ka magpaliwanag….. SA MGA INIS NA INIS NA BIKTIMA NG PRODUKTO NINYO!
smart….Sa Magnanakaw Ang Reserbasyon ng Talino… Simply Amazing!!!
And AGAIN…AND AGAIN.. AND AGAIN…..ETO na LANCE… kung hindi mo pa ALAM na DIREKTAMENTE na PARA sa katulad mong SMART(Sa Magnanakaw Ang Reserbasyon ng Talino) ang mensaheng ito.

Last week, several sites are inaccessible like nba.com OR VERY SLOW like yahoo.com, WHILE others can be accessed at terrific speed. SMART has the capability to boost our virtual connection to certain sites.
If you have experienced these my friends, just think if SMART do this on Speed testers that we use…. SMART will do anything to HIDE the TRUTH! SMART has the capability to rig the virtual connection to specific sites by boosting our access to them! SPECIALLY the SPEED TESTERS!
ANALYSIS is something we have to use here. It may be HARD to prove it. BUT we can not JUST be silent and accept this bullshit!
i received 2 emails from meridian and smartwifi. this may be an effort on their part to white wash the whole issue considering the fact that congressman zamora just recently divulged pertinent information (smartwifi,bayantel). whatever the case may be i’m optimistic that smart wifi will be forced to improve their service. let’s keep our fingers crossed.
System upgrade? baka naman nasira system nila inaus lang nila hindi inupgrade……. grr.. sori ha bwisit ako e
so…after receiving that letter….
have you noticed anything new? faster? or something different?
eversince sytem upgrade as usual…but they never upgrade their service.
@ Jun
Thanks Jun for the reply.. :) Well, i have no more plan to subscribe either of the Two Internet Services (Smart WiFi and PLDT DSL) provided if they gonna work with this current problems that you/ we are experiencing :( Anyway i’m still hoping that by next year other Quality Internet Services (Globelines Broadband/ Bayantel) will start offering their services here in Zamboanga City and other places in the Philippines. I think its the best way for Smart Wifi/ PLDT DSL to improve their services when there are lots of “Competitors”.
Thank You Once again and GOD BLESS US ALL :D
I got this email an hour ago:
@Areglo
ipa rebate mo na yan.. o kya kpag nag bayad ka na tapos wala kang na experience na connection mag pa refund ka putakte tlga yang smart eh……… :(
ako din, limited or no connectivity, kung hindi man, connected ka nga pero pag browse ka ng mga sites, walang nangyayari. galing nga e, nagbabayad ako ng hindi ako nakakagamit ng internet, teka kailan ba ako huling nagkaroon ng connection sa smart wifi? last saturday, for like an hour. mga 1 month na every weekend lang nakakaconnect ng mga 1 hr. mahal pala internet ngayon 4 hrs per month = 800 php. ok tawag ako sa *1888, tignan tignan ko na lang daw kung may connection na dahil may technical enhancement,. mga 1 month na nga may tech enhancement e, at 1 month ko nang tinitignan kung magkakaconnection na. ah alam ko na baka matagal lang talaga bago ka makaconnect, mga 1 month.
Globe na lang pag asa natin para masolve problema natin sa smartwifi!!! Dapat paspasan ng globe expansion nila para matauhan tong smartwifi nato!!
D best dito sa amin! my connection nga hindi kna man maka access sa ibang website: like microsoft.com, yahoo.com! ang gling talaga ng smart wifi! amazingly useless!
ewan ko sa inyo!! mag away kayo dyan!! basta samen walang connection!! bwisit eto pa rin nakalagay “LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY” tae talaga!! OO, inaamin ko na satisfy ako sa smart wifi ko pero d gaano ngaun sobrang inis ko na kasi lag na nga sa ragnarok kya ko nag quit ngaun wala pang internet 7 days na!!!
@ ramil
you’ve got a point there too. i have this friend who had the same predicament, lived right next to the base station yet he couldn’t get a signal at all! as to the other factors you mentioned – trees, buildings, etc. that i think is a really big problem. i had my antenna extended so there could be a clear path from my canopy to the base station (yet i really couldn’t see the base station thus no line of sight!). i just think that it’s possible to get a decent connection beyond the 1.5 km radius that they implement. but i have to admit that their system (wifi) is really a hit or miss thing. it’s either you get a good connection or not. another thing to consider is how long your good connection will last if you get one. ramil, i really think you’d be better off getting wired internet. but honestly, i’m having fun now second guessing this smart wifi. i wake up everyday asking myself “will i have a good connection or not?” there are always 2 ways to look at any situation – positive or negative. i’m way beyond negative because i’ve been a subscriber since september and i’ve seen smart wifi at its best and also at its worst. goodluck in your quest to find the best ISP!
Nayari kana naman pinnochio!!!Mahilig ka kasi magmarunong eh.bwahahaha…Puro mali naman komento mo at inglis…hahaha

@ jun
Hi jun i’m more than 1km or 2km probably on basestation of smart and within that range of distance definitely there are lots of factors that block on its way (Trees, Walls of houses/buildings) do you still claim that it’s possible for me to have a good connection or rather a high speed internet using the Smart Wifi? I don’t know with your situation, is it clear from the distance of Smart basestation i mean… Less tress or less factors that blocks on its way? Correct me if im wrong, I remember that you told me once that they add 20ft extention for your antenna.. Well, Im just curious Jun cause as far as i know one of the tech. of Meridian/ Smart wifi told me that, they have one customer living near the Base station of Smart Probably less 1 km or shall we say 1km and No good they tested it bad there’s no connection/ signal at all :( Oh man.. For Real :lol:
@ caloy
i think never, man. apparently they’ve got us thinking that we can’t get out of the lock in clause they wisely implemented. good for you though, magkakaglobelines ka na. i’m from cavite (very remote part) and i don’t see that happening any time soon.
@ vinvinvin
following a one minute disconnection yesterday, my speeds suddenly increased. just tested it again this morning. downloading large files has been fast too as well as page rendering. just curious as to the status of your connection now. haven’t even paid them yet for this month, told them they’d have to improve my connection before i paid them. by the way for those people on this blog who are told that distance from antenna to base station is the main problem resulting in poor connection, that’s a load of crap. i’m more than 2 kms away from the base station and at times i get decent speeds.

@ ePLDT
if i were from smart wifi would i waste my time here on this blog? funny hearing you say something as absurd as that when your handle is ePLDT. i should be the one telling you that you work for smartwifi/pldt since you also know a lot of workers from their company. barking up the wrong tree man. but you can say whatever you want to say, you just might end up looking stupid in the process.

lance is from smartwifi, don’t mind him.. if you’re going to call the hotline again, just demand to speak with a supervisor or with an operations manager.. look for Vergel Sapo, Harvey Madrid, LJ Lising, or Winston Dax Rubio..
Words from inexperienced men show failing analytical ability… inexperienced according to whom? let’s analyze – i get high speeds on testmy.net and the site has a smart test therefore it is rigged by smart! wow! great analysis there pinnochio! you’re the man! a real genius! but when i get low speeds on testmy.net it doesn’t count? i really don’t get it? i think my analytical skills are too dull eh, pinnochio? perhaps you could teach me how to be more analytical. i never insulted anyone on this blog, i just wanted to air my side. all i got were sarcastic comments from know it alls.
Who throws his “LANCE†unto the heart of TRUTH…
so now you’re the truth or you profess that you are on the side of truth? be objective and learn to read carefully, don’t just jump into conclusions, you just end up looking stupid. you have to wake up and realize that smart wifi is not a perfect system, so far from it actually. in reality it sucks big time but we shouldn’t go to the extremes and blame every little thing on them. there are ways to terminate your contract, ways which have been followed by certain individuals on this blog. i suggest you do that instead of constantly saying that smart is a thief. if that were true then that would make you an accomplice of a thief since you are supporting its business. get out while you can and hopefully when you have globe broadband you can complain about their service too. studies show that complaining is inherent in some people. i guess you are part of that demographic. if you’re not happy then get out and stay out. a whiner does not a good blogger make (sic)
@ pinnochio
you always sound like you know what you’re talking about and you seem offended when people express other opinions aside from the ones you endorse. be careful, you are not that intelligent and some of your views are simply pathetic. grow up okay? learn to accept the opinion of others and don’t be too paranoid. and yes, if you want to say something to someone, say it directly instead of hiding your message in stupidly constructed quotes. one more thing, go back to college and study grammar. for a frequent poster your writing skills suck. please do something about it. if you can’t, then don’t, but enough with the side swipes, they’re not amusing anymore.

As of now my connection was averaging @ 396+ kbps. hanep! max out ang package ko. 5pm April 9th running 31mins. kaso lang PBA na.
My main concerns (Currently):
1) Connection Speed (Currently focus on)
3) Security Issues (Focusing on)
2) Block Sites (Don’t know yet if there is, but minsan eh may “Unable to Connect” error ang firefox ko, and then I try the dialup to cross check. pero as of now ok naman na. 2 days ang span nung connection error)
ay ambot ari na nman ang Wi-Fulos!
cant access na naman to some sites like microsoft.com!
are they blocking it para mka tipid?
After a long long time of leaving this blog. I am here again, sharing my experience that i went through with smart wifi service.
July 2005 – My wifi was installed with a 20 ft. pole and I am satisfied with their connection. 128kbps. Using snedfar antena.
August 2005– still enjoying the service. 128 kbps. up
September 2005– My connection went down to 0-50 kbps. ( Thinking that smart will upgrade their service to 988 plan/256 kbps service and never reacted. )
October 2005– Damn Hell of their service. I call their CSr almost everyday coz of slow connection to no connection. Still give them a chance, maybe there’s a delay in the upgrade.
November 2005– on its 4th week. I got a very good connection of 256++ kbps… and enjoy the service again.
December 2005– on its 4th week again…. My connection went down again. 0-50 kbps
January 2006 – I have no connection for 1 month.
February 2006 – Threat them that I will no longer pay my bills, disconnect it if they want to. Blah blah… total anger…
March 2006 – I don’t know if wifi still works… I didn’t used it anymore.
April 2006 – they went here last week and change my antenna to canopy and rehome to another base station…and it works… I got a good speed of 360 kbps and above. Yesterday. I had a very intermittent connection…. Today, I got good connection. Tomorrow, Well, I don’t know….. I don’t trust them anymore!.
Even if I had a good connection this past few days, still not consider their service OK. Still not recommending it to the others.
5 months of headache!!!!
@ Mr. Technology Man
thanks technology man, i am not implying that the speed reflected in the smart test is absolutely correct. i’m just reacting to what some of the bloggers here said that smart wifi is rigging the testmy.net speed test results. that is ludicrous don’t you think? if that were the case then i’d get unbelievably high speed readings all the time. i’m just saying that we shouldn’t jump to hasty unfounded conclusions. i also always countercheck all my tests, i don’t use just one. i hope now you understand me, i am not telling you nor anyone else to subscribe to smart test, i don’t really care. what i’m just saying is that we should be more careful and not jump to illogical conclusions.
@ lance
i agree with you, but i think the test that you have made are not the best possible reading. cause you have using 386kB way to small. the reason why i pointed it out cause our connection speed fluctuates a lot maybe at that time of testing it is on burstible speed or it is on slow connection. use a larger file to get the most best possible accurate reading that we can get and also your test lasted only 10.685 seconds base on my computation.
This is how i computed it and you might learn from it :) free lesson for all.
you’ve have tested 386kB download which was in Bytes. first convert your tested download to Bits, 386,000 Bytes * 8 equals to 3,088,000 bits cause every Bytes are equal to 8 bits, then divided it by 289Kbps which is 289,000 bits the result would be 10.685121 in seconds.
now compare it to what i did a 30mins ~ 1hr :). but as of now the result i’m getting from the one i’m doing and from the testmy.net result are not far from each other. but take note i always use the largest download test not the Smart test.
For those of you ppl na wondering how i benchmark my Smart WiFi “BROADBAND” Connection. This is how i do it. First of all download the AnalogX NetStat Live from www.analogx.com under the networking category. Then find a site that has a 150+MB downloadable file that site must be reliable a site. download it using a download manager to maximize your current connection. run it for about 30mins to 1hr to get the best reading possible and by the way before doing so configure your TCP/IP Interface on the Netstat Live select the IP that is connected to Smart WiFi Canopy and in Display values use BITS not BYTES. BITS are in small letter ‘b’ and Bytes are in Capital Letter ‘B’ so you dont get confused. I believe that the Smart WiFi packages are in BITS (128kbps & 256~384kbps) and check if the reading has a current steady stream in the average line. as of now i’m averaging 105.8kb running @ 33mins, time 14:35, April 9th. plano ko nga eh magbench mark for one week and get the 90th percentile. which determines kung “most of the time on what speed my connection falls to”. open to comments? is this a scientific method approach? what do you think guys & gals? oo nga pala ang package ko eh yung 256~384kbps.so yung reading ko kanina eh way below on what i subscribe. let’s find out if this often happens. :)
these results are from speakeasy.net, i used this test too because many people in this blog stupidly think that testmy.net is being sabotaged by smart, what a bunch of losers and speculators! grow up people!!!
you just want to blame this shit on other people including the owners of certain speed tests. if you don’t have any evidence that the tests are rigged then shut up.

@ RyuSensei
i still think that a router is your best choice. you could do what the others recommend (use two lans on one pc and link the other) but that would mean that you would have to have the host pc open all the time. if that’s fine for you then go for it but a router is a better solution here and they are not that expensive. a cheap one is just around 2000 pesos. i use a linksys wired router and i’ve had it on since i bought it last september, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it has never had a problem. i share it with 4 pcs at home. i tried the wireless router wrt54g but returned it because it had some problems. good luck and tell me how it goes.
goodluck!
pero maging successful ka man… tiyak madalas ding hindi gagana internet mo dahil sa walang kwentang SMART WIFI.
Pero da best pa rin ang router kasi malalaman mo rin pag ginamit mo ang winproxy 5.1 at nag-YM ka with web cam, at marami kang pc na shared thru proxy. Experience ko noon yon with the old version of YM, ewan ko lang now na bago na ang YM. Malamang ganon pa rin. Maghanap ka na lang ng newer version ng WinProxy!
just “bridging” it will fail if your purpose is to share the internet connection. I have experienced it under Windows XP Professional, I am just not sure if your OS is XP Pro with SP2.
If you don’t want to buy a router, just use a proxy application like WinProxy5.1. hub lang kailangan mo rito or yung sinasabi nilang bridge!
@ RyuSensei,
Kung dalawa lang PC , gumamit la ng crossover Cable na UTP cat 5. I network mo dalawang PC. Dlawang NIC yun isang pc , para sa smart at para sa crossover cable. Yung isang PC isa lancard lang. Ganito setup ko ngayon.

Sila po ay mga dapat na magsubscribe sa Smart pero napagsabihan ko na wag dahil hindi maganda ang serbisyo nila.
Meron din iilan na nasabihan ko na ngunit nagtuloy pa rin magpakabit. Merong minalas at meron din naman sinuwerte.
Sila po ay kilala kong minsan ay nagsusugal din.
Tatlong buwan na lang tapos na rin ako sa Smart na hindi ko naman sinubscribe. Meridian ang subscription ko.
Isosoli ko sa kanila yung antenna na ilulubog ko sa tubig na maalat para makabawi bawi naman sa kanilang pamemerwisyo.
Smart = the jolog’s choice
@ jun
is there no other way to share it witout a router? there’s only 2 PCs and its for home use only. I think buying a router is unadvisable because its expensive…. the problem with Smart WiFi is that it keeps on redirecting to Smart’s portal and always asks for login and password… wheneevr the other computer connects to the net while the other is already connected to then net. but when you log in, the other automaticall disconnects to the net and auto redirects again to the portal… if we could somehow bypass this RULE i think we can establish internet sharing with only a switch/hub, what do you think?
Bat naman sinasabon nyo ang smart? ako.. isa ako sa satisfied user ng smart wifi =) ang galing nga eh. talagang smart simply Ammmaaazziingggg! oh di ba. ang bilis ng connection ko pati ang pag install indi ka pag hihintayin ng sobrang tagal hindi po ba. Isa pa etong smart wifi “The revolutionary high-speed broadband internet service of Smart†ay napaka bilis talaga.
Ang bilis ay umaabot ako ng 15-30kbps OOhhh dI bA at wala akong ka problem problem.
Kung kelan kelangan ko nang mag internet ay walang connection ^^ an saya d po ba.
Im VERY satisfied sa serbisyo nila.. kasi.. one time gusto kong makausap/chat ang crush ko at gusto kong makalaro sa online games kaso walang connection.. Nice. nabuo araw ko very gud talaga ang smart wifi.
Andaming kasalanan sa mga customers nila. parang LUG(levelupgames).
Anng mahalaga lang naman sa SMART eh yung makapag apply kayo at kukunin nila ung monthly bills nyo. O diba ma sasatisfy ka talaga.
talagang “APPLY HERE†tapos pag apply mo mapupuno ka ng problema. at onti onting mababawasan pera mo sa walang kwentang serbisyo nila..
Satisfied na satisfied ako sa Pag lock nila saken ng 1 year, papaputol ko sana kaso may pretermination fee?? WTH? ^^ nice one ang utak nyo ha.. talagang smart… “simply amazingâ€. Utak lang yan no? talagang utakan. hayaan nyo may araw rin mga mokong na yan….

It’s 1:50am right now April 9th, connection average speed around 50~60 kbps & 80~90 kbps . I Therefore conclude at this moment na this result was due to the fluctuation sa banwidth ko. Parang yung sa ER yung meter ko. parang heartbeat ang dating.
I’m disappointed right now. (really really disappointed). I’m getting average speeds of 40~45 kbps, 70~85 kbps. not like yesterday, having 350~400+ kbps. not very consistent. sana wag magdown this coming holiday. bad trip if that happens. sana 24/7 ang support no holidays. nyahahaha.
i suggest kulitin nyo ung CSR nila, mag email kayo, tawagan nyo sila, pagalitan nyo, ganyan din ako dati, super bagal, pro 1 day ngalit ako sa knila, nag demand ako na pmunta agad dito ung mga engineer nila, then kinabukasan bumilis na ung connection ko, average 320kbps.i dont know wat happend, kung nagkataon lang, pro at least napansin nila problema ko then cguro ginawan nila ng paraan.
@ RyuSensei
use a router to share your internet connection to multiple pcs. to share your connection further use a switch from your router.
kung nagkaroon lang sana ng widespread ads ang bayantel,sana hindi ako naholdap ng mga luku-lukong
mandarayang mga taga-SMART na ‘yan
30 kbps wi-fi??? aba eh putang-ina tinawag n’yo pang wi-fi ‘to,mabilis pa nung naka dial-up ako…gusto kong umiyak at magwala pero wala nah,naloko na ako eh
To anybody who thinks SMART WI-FI is OK must be hanged.SMART/PLDT is the down-right -under total mess and the undisputed LOUSIEST internet service provider in the world.To all of you SMART/PLDT execs…I’ve got two 3 words for ya…FUCK YOU ALL!!!
Sa Lahat ng Nagkakaroon ng problema sa kanilang mga smart wifi o pldt dsl wireless,pakiinclude yung mga area nyo o lugar.Or pagtumawag kayo sa hotline nila kunin nyo yung site id nyo para masmaganda.Meron ako kakilala sa Meridian para magawan nila ng paraan yung mga problematic sites.Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi hindi naman lahat ng area nationwide eh meron problem like sa inyo.Tulad dito sa akin sa malabon,wala ako problema.Happy ako sa smart wifi since subscribing last year(6 months na).Alam ko meron nagbabasa na taga smart dito sa blog ng yugatech.Thanks.
@ WizardMage
Nice work bro.. kaingit naman :D hopefully may globelines broadband na dito by next year sa Zamboanga City.. Kasi ang PLDT and SMART dito sa amin ay masyadong abusado na! dapat na sila mawala o malugi para matauhan… Imagine! last year pa ang problema nila dito regarding “PORT ISSUE” hangang ngayon wala pa.. hay nako! ganyan na ba talaga kabugok sila? Bulok talaga… Pero sige pa rin ang application nila para sa mga bagong netcafe nag-oopen…
fucking shet, nakabit nadin GLOBE BROADBAND KO. certified 40kbps hindi nababa. d tulad ng smart walang kwenta. hindi nako nagbabayad sakanila 3 months na. bahala sila mamatay na silang lahat.
Talaga ganyan ang PLDT DSL and SMART Wifi Nag bubulag bulagan talaga, As far as i know hindi naman ganyan ang servisyo dati ng PLDT DSL… Ewan! dapat nga sana mas gumaganda ang service padtumatagal na.. eh sa dalawang mokong na to baligtat ata… mas pumapangit…
PLDT DSL/ SMART WIFI SUCKSss…….
Nag bubulag bulagan talaga ang smart wifi… pinag tatakpan lang sila ng customer service sa mga kabanuan ng system nila.. hay ayoko na tlga pagod n ko mag iintay nlng ako ng 1 year….. ilang months pa kya.. shete nag intay ako ng ilang months rin bago kabitan tapos ilang months pa ko bago mag paputol. ILANG MONTHS pa ba mangVIVICTIM yang smart wifi. ang bobo k kse nabasa ko na tong blog bago magpakabet pero pinili ko pang magpakabet dhel nawalan ako ng choice.
Bat naman sinasabon nyo ang smart? ako.. isa ako sa satisfied user ng smart wifi =) ang galing nga eh. talagang smart simply Ammmaaazziingggg! oh di ba. ang bilis ng connection ko pati ang pag install indi ka pag hihintayin ng sobrang tagal hindi po ba.

to hell with you dam bulshit, -> ,.i., e2 ka na ulet
@AYOKO NA,
Ano name mo sa OZ? OZ global ba o philippines?
Hi guys i applied for a Smart WiFi connection because we dont have a phone line in cavite. My question is how to share the connection through LAN using a Switch/Hub. we were able to share it only when there’s a host computer running the connection. can it be like any computer can connect to the net and can be done al at the same time like the one in inet cafes?
Saken!!!! nakalagay!!! 5 days na!!! “LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY” bullshiiiiitttt talaga asar na ko gustong gusto ko mag internet lalo na walang pasok pero d ko magawa!! gusto ko mag OZ WORLD pano ba to?? HOY SMART TAO BA KAYO?? SMART KA BA?? Ausin nyo SERBISYO NYO!! Bull shhiet mahiya naman kayo sa mga nag susubscribe ha, kahit… minsan lang naman…… >.
papalit kayo ng canopy saka parehome kau…baka sakali…. sa ken ganun ginawa… problem ko sya for 5 months.. now ok na….. ewan k lang a… kasi wala pang 1 week e… pero ok na ang speed ko unlike b4 10 – 50 kbps…. sendfar pa ko nyan… ngaun canopy na,.. 300 ++ na…. request nyo… it will help a lot
kung mag gagagames lang kayo sa pc nyo, mag playstation na lang o mag xbox ndi naman advisable mag games sa pc, ndi enjoy ba magpindot sa keybord! damet! hahaha!
sa kin walang problem ang smart wifi mabilis connection ko eh!
baka naman wala kayong java na nakainstall sa pc nyo kaya mabagal ang loading, kelangan din kc ng java eh. para mag load ng mabilis!
the first time this happened as I said two weeks ago, I also suspected a hijack of sorts. But a scan by my antivirus, by ewido, windefender,adaware,and all the stand-alone virus scanners ,etc did not find anything. I even had to uninstall ane clean install Opera and firefox. Then I tracert”ed” those inaccessible sites and found out that there was a loop between two IP’s afer the default gateway so one could not reach such sites. But this time I again did a tracert and it finished the 30 hops meaning it did reach the sites. But we could not. Was gibts?
In a way, another six months of this Smart wifi would make an expert out of me with regards to networking and broadband. Never heard of tracert nor ARP AND NETSTAT before. I even learned how to access the Canopy page. Why? because we cannot get help from *1888 and only lerned how to release and renew IP.
So verbose? No very frustrated!
I never hear
actually 2 days na to, before that mabilis i open ung yahoo, pro ngyon super bagal na, pati friendster, download.com, especially nba.com, i called up the csr, pro wla sila mabigay na explanation since ok nman ang ping sa yahoo, download.com etc. except sa nba.com which is 100% loss.
cannot access also pctools,grisoft-avg,fsecure,lycos,msn search,cbs,nbc,foxnews,zdnet. most of the pinoy sites are working.
ay slamat akala ko na hijack na computer ko! another culprit of smart wifi! baka ang sunod i-ban na nila ang yugatech. pls ask your friends who is using the net other than smart wifi if they are experiencing this outage. tnx for ur response.
I’m a Smart WiFi subscriber myself since March 2006. I’ve heard a lot of comments about Smart WiFi, good and bad. What makes me decide to subscribe?
Three options:
1) Globelines broadband – I inquire about this service since December and waited for almost 4 months for this to be available in our area. Eh wala pa rin.
2) PLDT myDSL – Based on my experience eh ok tong service. We are using it for more or less two years (I think) at work. Sa umpisa for about 3 months ata eh medyo di stable ang connection and yung speed eh wala sa package. Pero ngayon eh satisfied kami. The only thing na ayaw ko lang eh first dapat may phoneline ka then dapat nakapangalan sayo, kung hinde dapat may letter of authorization ka. Maraming dapat.
3) Smart WiFi – Wala masyadong requirements. Apply ka tapos bayad.
Mabilis naman ang installation walang hassle.
By the way meron nga palang akong 2 ka officemate na naka Smart WiFi . yung isa eh very very disappointed and di other one is very much satisfied. So very confusing di ba? yung isa eh medyo techie & yung isa naman eh for the sake of surfing the net lang.
What I notice for almost 2 weeks being a Smart WiFi subscriber.
ok naman yung speed pagdating sa surfing (yahoo, friendster, etc ), kaya ko maattain yung “average speed†na 350+kbps when downloading. Di nga lang stable ang connection due sa fluctuation ng speed minsan lower sa 100kbps. Disappointed ako sa performance nya sa youtube. Di ko pa na try ang torrent and mmorpg gaming. More testing pa. As of now satisfied pa ako.
Share nyo on how you benchmark yung Smart WiFi. “Scientific Method ha walang sabi-sabi†post nyo nga pala yung location nyo. Me LAS PINAS.
even AVG cant update itself, pati yahoo mssenger upon installation cannot access din, n java for limewire di madownload. ano ba to??!
nba.com also. what happend? any ideas?
Checked also download.com and yahoo.com. This is another round of inaccesible sites. Happened also about two weeks ago
demmet!! bat ung ibang website di na oopen! ung iba ok! ok pag nag dodownload! pero sa website na hihirapang mag access daramihan sa mga site! (yahoo, friendster, nba.com etc) bat gnun! demmet! amfness wifi na to!
check ko lang sa mga ka-wifi dito, strange becoz i conot access microsoft.com, yahoo.com. paki check nyo sa inyo. hindi namn cgro infected ako ng worm dahil nkaka access ako sa mga security sites at ibang websites at nkaka update ako sa av ko.
e2 ang pinaka masasabi ko…. “WALANG KWENTA” LAG lang aabutin nyo sa games.!! sa ragnarok man yan o sa battlenet o sa kahit saan. e2 para sa inyo smart wifi ” ,.i., “
Tae talaga!! smartwifi bulok. waLANG CONNECTION mag lilimang araw na. hay nako aabot rin kayo sa ganitu kung ayan lang pipiliin nyo. siguro mag zpdee nalang ako or globelines brodband!!! papaputol ko to balang araw shete. PABOMBAHIN NATEN COMPANY NILA >.
to SMART and PLDT>Q:Ano ba ang pwedeng gawin ng connection speed na 20-60 kbps?Hindi nga kami maka-access sa sariling website n’yo mga putang ina kayong hinayupak!Okey,ganito kabagal yun…yung video clip na 1 mb aabutin ka ng probably 8 minutes bago matapos,hey this is the broadband age,kung hndi rin lang kayo makapag-provide ng promised speed wag na lang kayong mang-alok ng subscribers dahil maraming nahuhulog sa mga matatamis ninyong pangako
No wonder wala ng commercial ang SMART/PLDT Internet these days.It just goes out to prove na puro reklamo na ang nkakarating sa kanila.
Worry no more guys, Rep. Way Kurat is on your side, he also is a smart wifi subscriber that has been having headaches with his internet connection since it was installed and it’s frequent basestation technical activities. his employee called the hotline to inquire how to terminate their subscription and he was shocked to be informed that they are required to pay the pretermination fee even that his internet connection only gave him headaches. so instead of arguing with a CSR/TSR, he made a bill and raised it to the congress to make an investigation about this matter since he was also informed that the number of complaints the NTC is receiving is very alarming..
ePLDT Ventus (the call center company who handles the account) management had an emergency meeting regarding this issue.
if you want to read Rep. Way Kurat’s article about Smart Wifi, just go buy a PINAS Tabloid.
@ Robert The Bruce
It’s not bad naman i-promote ang isang company kung ganyan pala… Nice Service and No Nonsense dapat lang i-promote 8) … Di tulad sa DALAWANG MOKONG na to: “PLDT DSL AND SMART WIFI” kung maka-advertise akala mo kung sino o ano na talaga… eh ENGOT Naman ang serbisyo :cry: !!! Talaga naman o.. naiingit na lang ako sayo Bro, ang swerte naman ng mga subscriber ng bayantel broadband.. WoW :shock: Sana ipapalawak na nila ang Internet Services sa buong Pinas pati na ang Globelines Broadband..
PLDT DSL AND SMART WIFI may araw rin kayo :evil: :evil: :evil:
Ryt now im with BAYANTEL-SKY,and wow,wa akong ma-say,yung binabayaran ko na 899 a month,260 kbps ang ibinibigay nilang speed,but that’s just the tip of the iceberg,from 10 pm to 10 am you can feel how fast it is,i mean just for a fact that yung subscription speed ko 256 kbps,in that span of time,they will provide you with REAL 430 to 480 kbps…my point? i am not promoting bayantel,i’m just suggesting it to get yous money’s worth,tsaka para hindi kayo mahulog sa patibong ng SMART at PLDT,and by the way…God bless them,sana maawa sila sa mga customers nila
ok sana kung nai-maintain ang speed to 50kbps and up… eh hinde minsan mabagal pa… Basta MARK na ang PLDT and SMART pagdating sa internet services na hindi sila worth mag provide ng internet services… Time will come, they will realise what they are doing.. sa ngayon sige enjoy muna sila…
PLDT AND SMART Boooooo……………
Globelines Broadband/ Bayantel RULES!!!
wala talaga ag smart wifi,plan 788,, yung speed 20 to 50 kbps,,,mga manloloko cla ng mga tao,,,dapat i ipako sa cross ngayong holy week yung mga head nla,,,
Basta para sa mga nagpaplano pa lang mag-avail ng DSL/ hiqh speed internet wag na kayong mag subscribe to this two Clowns “SMART AND PLDT DSL” they are nothing but just a crap!!! unless if they will work/ solve their problem. Walang Kwenta PLDT DSL and SMART WIFI :(
lintik na connection ito, mas mabilis pa ang dial-up!@$%#@!$@#$#@!$@#$@#!$@# walang kwentang wifi!!!!
ask ko lang sa mga smart wifi plan P988? ang Plan P988 di ba 256-384kbps? try nyo test sa “PING” ang inyong ip address. ano lumalabas sa TTL? di ba 64-128TTL? bakit dito sa digitel dsl cable wire na 256-384kbps pag “PING” mo ip address ang TTL, 250TTL? pag 128kbps sa connection sa digitel 128TTL naman.ano kaya ibig sabihin nito? Nagtatanong lang po.
GOD is watching the hearts, motive, plans of those involved in the operation of smart wifi.
He knows all our anxieties, sufferings and sacrifices over this issues.
we may have no power over the greedy giant but our God is more powerfull than they are. He will not let this pass, the answers maybe not now but it will surely come.
Im too tired, sick, exhausted of complaining. I ceased to compaint because they always have the best useless solution.
maybe some of us feel our effort has been trashed or junk by those who think could help us ofcourse human as they are, all I do now is entrust this things to GOD. through that Ive more relaxed. because he will bring justice to all of us.
remember forever does not belong in this world!
I may sound corny or religious…but Truth cannot be denied.
like their connection: today they may all have the ups but not tommorrow!
remember also that we are not enslaved to their service forever we will be free from them soon, me 4 months remaining.
God bless.
@ REy
Tama buti pa mag dsl wire/ cable ka na lang mas ok pa kaysa wireless antenna na bulok…
smart wifi? bah!! ok yang smart wifi na yan. dati P788 ang plan ko kasi medyo mabagal ang connection ko sa games ang ginawa ko nagpa upgrade ako ng plan ng P988. guess what? ung BILL ko lang ung nag upgrade hindi ung connection ko. madalas hindi ko cya magamit ng matino pag tumawag ka sa tech support sasabihin lang sa’yo “sorry for inconvinience kasi mayroon pa pong tehnical activtiy sa inyong base station” P.I. everytime na may prob ako sa connection ko parang answering machine na lang ang mga sagot nila. konting tiiis na lang ako kasi papatangal ko na itong wifi ko. mainam pa ang DIGITEL dito sa amin sa BULACAN may PROMO sila ngayon PLAN P780 128Kbps kahit PRE-PAID lang ang phone mo pede ka kabitan ng DSL.
ang bagal ng smart / meridian!!!!!!!!!!!! buti pa yung prepaid card ko mas mabilis pa!!!! SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
reaction paper about WiFi sent me
@ sknifer
Why dont you with smartwifi , para lang tumino yung tech support nila . tingin ko mas magaling ka pa!! hehehe
smart wifi is soo damn bullshit! mabilis nga connection, ndi naman stable! putol putol signal! grabe lag ko sa ragna at battlenet ng warcraft.. pota tlga mga taga smart!
bakit di maka pasok mga online gamess kakainis kahapon pa 2.. mga wifi user indi makapag games
bakit wlang mga games indi makapasok mga games ku like ragnarok………. wifi user lang indi maka pag online game kahapon pa…….
anung problema ba yan plss paki ayos agad
FIX for DISCONNECTION PROBLEMS!!!!
Been using Smart WiFi for almost 5 months now. I do get disconnected before and still gets disconnected sometimes until now. What I usually do is just use another Smart Cellsite! Takes only 25 seconds to get back online. What’s good about being able to choose the Smart Cellsite that can be seen by your Canopy is that you can choose the Cellsite that doesn’t disconnect all the time. I’m sorry guys, I cannot tell the procedures here because Smart/Meridian might find a way to put a stop to it. You just play around with 169.254.1.1 – the Canopy Configuration Page and you might get it.
IP forwarding is not possible with Canopy unless you use an additional router. As you all know, IP Forwarding needs to be set properly in case you’re having problems with torrents. Limewire will still work but you have to get the cracked version.
Smart WiFi to me is excellent because I found a way to make it work (i’m only referring to the connection). But it took a week of calling *8881 (not sure about this SMART toll free number) until I finally gave up on their stupid techs. But I was able to get my rebate.
Good luck people!
ISP: Digitel
location: Sorsogon City
speed (promised) : 387/194 (not so sure on the exact speed)
I subscribed to digitel last January, medyo ok naman ung connection yun nga lang palyado sya sa speed. Your lucky enough if you get a speed half of your plan. Also it will take some time before you get connetion up and running after a brownout. I just started calling their customer to see if they can do a thing baout it. 1600 din ung binabayaran ko every month.
Ang hirap ng lock in period nilang 2 years kasi kahit mag bago ung presyo nila stuck ka na sa old price nila. I tried changing my plan kaso they told me I have to pay a plan change fee na P3.000.00, Instead of lowering the price they opted to upgrade your speed pero sadly ung speed update na yun Nominal lang. Upgraded nga yung speed mo sa computer nila pero walang improvement sa speed mo.
About smart Wifi naman pangit talaga sya. Kailangan kay LOS sya ng smart tower. LOS (I take it that it means Line Of Sight) so if you leave in an area na maraming building at puno patay ka na. Also The rain have an effect on it. Usually pag umuulan wala ka ring signal.
ALL in all. An average speed of 150/90 is usable but NOT cost effective for 1600.00 pesos a month.
I am using PLDT mydsl 999 in Manila I am pretty satisfied with the service. Nde ko lang gusto ung bago nilang DSL modem. PLDT na ang brand nya. medyo madalas syang magloko at pde mo lang syang gamit as DSL on demand ung may dialer.( I have solved the problem by install a router.) mas stable ung connection nya. So after i installed the router I am happy with the connection.
I will update the forum once IF i get my concern sorted out.
Nakakasawa narin mag reklamo sa mabagal na connection natin!!! Wala din naman action ginagawa tong smart at NTC. By October this year halos matatapos na lahat ang mga kontrata ng subscribers nila, ma solve na rin problema natin sa wakas , dahil mag sisi alis na sa smart ang mga subscribers..heheheheheh…Wala na rin problema smart pati customers wala na yahooo!!!
hehehe
do it noob
pwede ba mag conquer online sa smart wi-fi?
Nakakainis! Buwisit! Kababalik lang ng internet ko! Kagabi pa wala eh!
What the Fuck :lol:
Yess noob,get an RPG(rocket propelled grenade)and tear down all SMART WIRELESS CENTERS,whooooshh…Boooommmm….they suck a lot
ask ko lang, im a smart wifi user, pwede ba mag change ng ip address? pano?
lol.
Remember yung commercial sa TV na isang chick na nagda-download ng mp3 songs na sumisigaw na,YESSS! YESSS! THAT WAS FAAASST!!! I really do not know kung bakit nya nasabi yun? Cguro nag-finger muna ng kanyang kepz sa sobrang bagal ng download speed at saka nilabasan kaya napa-ire ng YESSS! THAT WAS FAAASSST!!! To HELL with you all SMART and PLDT!!! mga MANLOLOKO! Karmahin sana kayo balang araw!
I guess for big cities like manila… wag na lang kayong mag-pldt DSL kasi masyado nang marami/ crowded na ang mga subscriber for the mean time.. go for other alternatives like Globe, bayantel, etc… Pero sa mga ibang lugar tulad dito sa amin sa Zamboanga City ok naman ang PLDT DSL walang masyadong problema sa connection like frequent disconnections/ others so far ok naman… As for the Wifi, yes i think weather will really play a big role on its connection.. kung masama ang panahon then baka maka-problema kung ok naman ang panahon tulad ngayon summer.. ok lang ang connection.. and plus your location.. thanks :D
Smart Wifi is also not good here at Antipolo,Sobrang Hassel s Business Nwawala mga Customer nmin! Hope they can able to solve are problem………..
Anthony,
Your welcome…
VinVinVin,
Thank you very much for all the information. I highly appreciate it, for it was very helpful.

Mga repapips, anung download manager ang maganda?
Salamat!
ISP’s in Butuan Mindanao? I’ve seen a Bayantel Office in Butuan at their website:
http://www.bayantel.com.ph/athome/lecprovincialnmin.shtml
You may call them if you want…
There are also several Net Cafes in Butuan but I am not sure if they are in broadband or dial-up…
http://www.world66.com/asia/southeastasia/philippines/butuan/internetcafes
Almost all of their websites were not available…
Regarding Smart WiFi, I think the advertised speed was the maximum speed you could get. Most of us get low results on speed tests but when we download using a download manager, it was fast. it still reaches 50KB/sec (a little bit more than 384 kbps) I think it depends on your application… Downtime? It depends, some of their base stations nationwide randomly get technical problems and they will not know it unless you call them. It takes about a week or two for them to get it fixed. If the problem is on the antenna, it takes about a week or sometimes, a month for their technical team to visit.
Does anyone know what the SMART 3G Infinity Plan 8000 subscription consists of, and the cost of it? Their site mentions the plan but gives no details.
My main concern is the broadband internet connection, via a computer. Is that what this plan offers, or is it strictly for cellphone web browsing?
Does the 3G have nationwide coverage or only the big cities? I am looking for broadband internet service in Butuan, Mindanao. Yes, I know Smart-Wifi is available there, but might 3G be a better alternative, even though it is more expensive?
Thank you kindly
@ Caloy
Dude hayaan mo na si “just dropin by” walang kwentang kausapin yan… Palibhasa galing sa “alikabok” siguro ang pera nya, hay nako!!!
@Yosh
By the way Yosh.. my friends and I have tried downloading a files from bittorent (torrentspy, minonova, isohunt, etc…) when Smart have their demo here in Zamboanga City and base from our experience medyo inconsistent talaga ang speed nya… sometimes it goes up like 45-48 kbps then down to 8-10 kbps something like that… and mine you malapit talaga yun sa base station/ cellsite ng Smart mga ilang meters lang… I don’t know siguro ganyan talaga ang wireless… lalo na medyo low-tech ang technology ginagamit ng Smart/Meridian/PLDT-W dapat 802.11 na… Compare sa Wire/cable talaga when it come to downloading large files… pero kung sa surfing, chating, email.. i think ok naman siya… What do you think?
the only problem in smart wifi is the slow dl speed of bittorent.. hhmmm… close pa rin ports nila… dapat ito ang ayusin nila… Nyahahaha…
@ just dropin by,
Ang suerte mo naman alikabok lang sayo yun P988 pesos na pang bayad sa smartwifi.
Samin kasi , mahirap lang kami kaya gusto namin masulit yung pinag hirapan naming perang 988 pesos. Kaya gusto namin mabilis na internet connection at maayos na serbisyo dahil maayos din naman kaming magbayad ng monthly at yung pera ay galing naman sa pinag hanapbuhay namin. Ewan ko sayo ? sa alikabok galing?
Vinvinvin,
Thank you kindly for your replies.
My friend will be an average surfer of the net, and using her webcam via messenger services. Gameplaying and the downloading of large files are not of her concern.
The speeds you listed that are advertised, if they truly deliver those speeds, should be enough for what she needs. My concern is all the postings I have seen about all the “DOWN TIME” Smart Wifi seems to have, and not the actual speed that is advertised. Do you deem them to correct in their advertised speeds? Can you give me a guesstimate of your “DOWN TIME” with their service? I mean, when it is down, is it down for a few hours or a few days? Is it down 3 or 4 times a month or maybe once every two months?
You also stated that Smart Wifi would be her only option. So, you are telling me there is nothing else available in the Butuan, Mindanao area? I am not very familiar with the Philippines, especially the Provinces, so my apologies in asking the same questions again.
Thank you kindly, Anthony
Istallation fee is Php 1000.00 + 1 month advance MSF. Depends on your plan (Php 788 = 256kbps max or Php 988 = 384kbps max ) VAT included…
Anthony,
Is your friend a heavy internet user? If not, he/she may use Smart WiFi because there are no other choices. For chatting & surfing, its OK but not recommended for gaming, VOIP, and large file downloads…
I have just read many of the postings about Smart Wifi, and the horror stories being told are scary. Anyone, outside of Metro Manila and other big cities, have any good experiences with Smart Wifi? My main concern is for my friend in Butuan, Mindanao. Any idea of how it would work in that area?
Any alternatives to Smart Wifi for broadband service in Butuan, Mindanao? My friend does not have any telephone lines in the neighborhood, so I assume that would rule out DSL, and I highly doubt Cable connection is viable since there are no cable lines in the neighborhood. Are there any companies in the Butuan area that are offering broadband that my friend may not know about?
My friend is completely dumbfounded when it comes to anything about internet service, and I am in the USA, so I would really appreciate any kind of information anyone has to offer.
May someone help me with some of my questions?
I am in the USA and it is very difficult for me to get any hard facts about Smart Wifi service in the Philippines.
I am looking to get Smart Wifi hooked up for my friend in Butuan, Mindanao. Can someone let me know if there is an installation fee, if there is one, how much, and how much the monthly fee (VAT included) would be?
Also, I see Smart Wifi on some sites being advertised as having speeds up to 256 kps and on some sites at 128 kps. Does anyone know what the true speed being offered is, assuming there is a clear line between the home base unit and the cell tower.
Anykind of help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you kindly, Anthony
dati dial up lang kaya wag smolin ang dial up, i think sa ym clear ung voice chat pag naka dialup. sa mga rich dyan back to dial up na! hahaha
sakin ndi umabot ng mas mababa sa 56k kalokohan yon!
@ caloy
alikabok lang sakin ang 988 na sinasabi mo! nyahahaha!!
@ MagDropKaNaLang
“nagkakamali ka! marami ka pang di alam….”
katulad ng ano? scandal? aminin mo na manyak ka!!! nyhahaha!!!
oo naman gumamit ka ng yahoo sayo siguro ngongo!!! pulpol talaga utak mo!!! utak biya!!! nyahahaha!!! magdrop ka na lang!!
I now think and believe with all the recent speed tests I’ve done with at least 10 speed meter applications that SMART has the capability to boost the bandwidth of the virtual connection of subscribers’ computers to particular networks hosting speed meter applications that SMART thinks that its subscribers usually use.

“Malamang inayos ng Smart ang koneksyon ng kanilang internet sa Testmy.net kasi kadalasan na nakikita nila eh yun ang gamit ng mga tao kaya sa website na testmy.net medyo mabilis! Sa tingin ko sa testmy.net lang nila inayos pero sa ibang websites, ang bagal pa rin! Subukan ninyong gamitin ang NetStatLive o kaya Bandwidth Monitor Pro habang nag s-speed test para makita ninyo ang actual na speed ng upload at download ninyo habang nag tetest!”
————-
THEREFORE DO NOT ALWAYS BELIEVE THE RESULT OF SPEED METERS YOU USE. I RECOMMEND USING SPEED METERS THAT ARE NOT SO POPULAR. www.testmy.net has been SMART’s target, now I think http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ has been included by SMART in its bandwidth boosting algorithm.
Up to this moment http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/test_0150.asp yields RELIABLE results. It conforms with your browsing speed UP TO THIS MOMENT.
Some PRO-SMART out there would say again that this is just a presumption. Yes! a presumption BASED on ACTUAL TESTS and experience!!!
Hehehe… Nakakatawa talaga si “JUST DROPIN BY†:D
By the way nag-subscribe na lang ako sa PLDT DSL 999 hindi pwede sa amin ang wireless no choice talaga, Anyway…
makaka TALK ka ba naman ng matino sa DIAL up speed!
Madalas “just dropin by” napuputol ang sinasabi ng kausap mo pag dial up speed ang connection mo!!!!
EWAN namin sa iyo… siguro BULOL ka! kaya naiintindihan mo ang paputol-putol na salita!
HAHAHA… mga pre.. si “MOLOL” ‘to.
hayus mha “jut dlapin bay”????
Tama kayo Caloy and Ramil….. Si “just dropin by” MAY TAMA!!!
kung student ka “JUST DROPIN BY” mag drop ka na lang, Sa lahat naman ng nakita kong post….putsa! PINAKATANGA NA YATA ANG POST MO …. sira-ulo, tanga! nAGBABAYAD NG 988 pesos sa Smart tapos kuntento na sa 56 Kbps… WOW!!!
Eh di sana nag ISP ka na lang!!!! P100 pesos… tatagal ng 2 buwan! dahil 2 months ang expiration…..3 months pa nga yata eh…
At hindi kasingbaboy ng utak mong PORNO ang mga utak namin, kung porno lang ang nakikita mong dahilan kung bakit gusto ng isang tao ang mabilis na internet, nagkakamali ka! marami ka pang di alam….
tnong ko lng bkit lgi DC wifi ngaun? every 10-15mins? anu kya problema? and about sa antenna meridian yng nk sulat sa antenna ko meron bang ibang antenna n pede gmitin?
@just dropin
Hay… Kaya nga sila nag subscribe ng 256/384kbps na speed para mabilis… syempre! downloading is a part of a deal! alangan naman magchachat, email, surf ka lang? eh kulang naman… I think sana nagdial-up ka na lang… YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY kung Gayan!!!
Well kung kontento ka na sa 56k , wag ka na lang mag smartwifi kasi mahal P988 ……siguro naka ISP bonanza ka no!!!!
Well kung naka smart wifi ka at makukuntento ka naman sa 56k , sira ulo mo!!
hindi endorse ng smartwifi ang testmy.net sa mga bobo na hindi nagbabasa ng manual eto ung speed testing na nakalagay www.bandwidthplace.com
OO kuntento na ko don!!!
Yun na nga problema sa smartwifi, kung minsan mas mabilis pa modem na 56k , kuntento ka na ba nun!!!!
nyhahaha!
hindi na mahalaga kung mabagal o mabilis ang importante nakakapag open ng email, nakakachat at nakakatalk sa pc at hindi na didisconnect eh pucha! kaya lang naman gusto nyo mabilis ang connection nyo para makapag download kayo ng mga bold o mga porn aminin na! ang service ng smart wifi 2x faster lang, minsan binibigyan kayo ng 4-6x faster pero hindi pa rin kayo satisfied masyado lang kayong hayok gusto nyo mas mabilis pa, makuntento kung anong meron!
pucha naman o, kayo lang post ng post ng testmy dito eh, nakigaya lang ako, ndi pala accurate wag na nga mag post dito kung ndi kayo sigurado!.

Mabilis pa rin naman sa akin, minsan kasi, ginagamitan din ng utak para gumanda ang performance ng internet ninyo at madami na rin kaming natulungan na gumagamit din ng wifi.
Wag naman sana kayo magalit sa amin na medyo maganda ang nakukuhang speed, syempre di kasi kami bobo.
Tsaka title ng blog na ito eh, Smart wifi gets mixed receptions…. so may karapatan din kami na makihalo dito.
Sad to say, nasa sa atin na yan na makipagtulungan sa kinauukulan. ‘nga lang inuuna na kasi natin ang poot na namamayani sa ating dibdib. Gamitin muna sana natin ang ating mga utak (kung meron man), wala namang hindi nareresolba na problema sa matinong pakikipagusap. Email nyo ako amp****@****.*** para mahanapan natin ng solusyon mga problema nyo. At tayo na ang nagiging hanapbuhay ng yuga na ito…… salamat
amp talga smart 50-60kpbs connection taguig pa me pero tumawag na ko sa technical pero 1 month na hindi pa rin na sasagot ang problem ampode -_- tumawag na ko sabi 4 evaluation lang pero almost haf month na wala pa rin.
http://www.smartwifi.r8.org/
no offense tol, dami din natulong netong site na to. especially nung umpisa pa lang ng wifi ko, sympre nalaman ko di lng pla ako nagiisa na my gnitong prob sa smart, n nalalabas ko gsto kong sabhin. n ung mga bgong subscrber by reading this site alam na nila ieexpect sa smart wifi
guys & gals
ever wonder kung bakit namamaintain itong site na to?
lakas kaya kumita ng host dito….
$ 2000.00 a month lang naman
naayos ba connection nyo sa pagpopost dito?
dahil sa inyo or sa atin na rin nagkakapera ang blogger na ito…
stop na natin siguro at kumikita lang siya na wala naman kayong/tayong napapala
kung may problem kayo sa wifi (especially mga taga north luzon) email me at amp****@****.***
tigilan na natin ang pagkamal niya ng salapi dahil sa mga komento natin dito.
eto pa pala:
para makuha nyo yung precise behavior ng connection nyo (kung consistent o hindi), patakbuhin nyo ang bawat test site ng mga 5 beses, at i-record ang result ng bawat isa. dun nyo makikita kung consistent ang bandwidth nyo o hindi.
kung may duda parin kayo sa mga test sites, meron mas madaling paraan:
1. hanap kayo ng file na 100MB in size (para masiguradong hindi madadaya ng smart thru caching)
2. buksan ang task manager (for windows xp only), at ayusin ang setting ng network monitor nito
3. i-download ang 100MB file.
4. obserbahan ang connection sa task manager.
wag kayo gagamit ng mga download managers pag gagawin nyo ang test na to, lalo na ang download accelerator.
napansin ko lang….bat gustong gusto ng mga tao d2 yung testmy.net, kahit na may flaw yung test nila?
As for Netstat Live, nireklamo ko sa smart yan before, kasi napansin ko na magkaiba yung connection rate na pinapakita ng Netstat Live and ng iba kong bandwidth monitoring tools. sobrang taas ng data na binibigay ng Netstat Live compared sa ibang tools ko.
Kung naka-windows xp kayo, madali lang i-monitor ang bandwidth nyo. Nasa Task Manager ang sikreto.
Muli kong ilalagay ang link ng bandwidth tester na ginagamit ko:
http://www.internetfrog.com/mypc/speedtest/
kelangan nyo ng java para magamit yang bandwidth test na yan, at hindi kayang dayain ng smart yan. matagal lang ang initial download ng applet na ginagamit for the actual test.
Malamang inayos ng Smart ang koneksyon ng kanilang internet sa Testmy.net kasi kadalasan na nakikita nila eh yun ang gamit ng mga tao kaya sa website na testmy.net medyo mabilis! Sa tingin ko sa testmy.net lang nila inayos pero sa ibang websites, ang bagal pa rin! Subukan ninyong gamitin ang NetStatLive o kaya Bandwidth Monitor Pro habang nag s-speed test para makita ninyo ang actual na speed ng upload at download ninyo habang nag tetest!

Pero sa totoo lang, ang baba pa rin ng speed test results ko sa testmy.net! Huhuhu!
tanungin natin si CABLE, ang gumawa daw ng www.testmy.net na nagbibigay ng 300+Kbps kahit na mala DIAL up ang browsing mo at 50-90Kbps ang test results mo sa iba!!! compressed data pa nga raw ang gamit… sabi nga niya mas mabagal ang result, eh bakit 300+Kbps???!!!! nagtatanong lang!!!
ako nga mala DIAL up ang browsing ko PERO sa testmy.net 357Kbps…. namputsa naman oo!!!
AMBAGAL ng browsing ko ngayon. Mas mabilis pa yata ang ISP BONANZA!!!! Putsa! DUAL CORE ang Processor ko pero ambagal ng browsing.
Pero bat ganon, Test ko naman sa www.testmy.net, above 250 Kbps ang laging madalas na result. I used other speed testers, ang result range from 50 – 85 Kbps…
SIMPLEng tao lang ako PERO Mukhang tama nga yatang isipin na hindi dapat gamitin ang www.testmy.net. Kung compressed na ang test data, di sana, mas mabagal ang result! bakit 250 Up Kbps????? nagtatanong lang PO!!!
Napansin nyo ba sa website ng smart wifi na pinalitan nila ngayon ang inaadvertise nalang nila e 2x faster than dial up? Nde nila napalitan sa image yung up to 4x faster than dial up?
http://www.smart.com.ph/SMART/Value+Added+Services/WiFi/
as of today before 8am monday march 27 .mejo bumilis na nga at parang consistent na pgtest mo sa different speedtest sites..ang problema lang eh every now and then eh nadidisconnect from a few seconds to minutes..waaahhh! kulang nalng fine tuning ata..hope so..malapit na me mg 1 yr kaka purwisyo sa connection..sana tuloy-tuloy na ganito..come and go kasi eto..haaayy..

Guys, Smart have just switched my antenna to motorola Canopy…works perfectly.. there’s one thing .. i wanted to share to ya’ll…my current plan is still 788… I ask there field representative if i can upgrade to 988 (although i already know that i can..just to have a conversation!)…He said that don’t even bother because plan 788 in terms of technicality is the same with plan 988… I compared my speedtest to my neighbor(also canopy) and when I saw the results I was shocked… I even have a faster connection.
simple instruction you cannot follow damn it! daming site para matest mga speed ng napakabagal nyong computer sa mga mahihina ang kokote eto pumunta ka sa www.patambay.com manawa ka sa speed testing!!!
puro kayo dakdak putak ng putak wala naman napapala! minsan pag sobrang talino nakakabobo talaga!!! masyado kayong genius bawas bawas ng kayabangan! hahaha!
Nyahahaha!
naka drugs pala mga tao dito eh aning aning mga tamang hinala pati www.testmy.net pinagtripan, minsan wala ding wenta mga pinagsasabi nyo rito eh, wala na ba kayo mapag usapan magsi tulog na kayo!!! hahaha!
haaaayyyy naku!!!!
I quote him….
“… you get a slower result because it’s the truth, not a candy coated truth…….
”
Please explain Mr. Cable WHY a week or two I got results from your CREATION that my speed is 300Kbps +++. WHILE in other 4 speed meters, results range from 85 to 110Kbps… EVEN lower!!!…. And my browsing was as low as DIAL up speed!!! IS THAT 300+++Kbps?????? iS THIS THE KIND OF TRUTH YOU SAY TO THE PEOPLE????
…..
It is clear now….
haaaayyy naku…!
I just want to put this on record that a week or two, I’ve been testing my connection speed using at least 5 speed meters and one of them is www.testmy.net. The other 4 speed meters yielded results ranging from 85 to 110Kbps WHILE www.testmy.net yielded 300 Kbps UP on several tries!!! This is in contrast with what the ALLEGED creator of www.testmy.net said and I quote him….

Hindi niyo ba naisip na kaya daw siya gumagamit ng todo compressed na data bago ma download at ma-test eh para hindi na ito ma compress pa ng mga ISPs tulad ng Smart WiFi? kadalasan daw kasi ng mga ISP, lalo na pag wireless, eh kino-compress ang mga data na dumadaan sa linya nila para kunyari eh mabilis.
Paano mo pa ma co-compress eh todo compress nanga? Nyaks! Wala lang! Opinyon lang…
@ Kim
I’d have to say wired is the way to go if you want stable and faster connections. Wireless would be an advantage if you have devices you carry around all the time (laptops, wifi enabled pdas) and that would also elimate the need for cables. The thing is the farther you are from the access point, the weaker the signal gets. I have experienced disconnections too when using a wireless router. Anyways, a wireless router usually has 4 wired ports as well so you should go with that and decide later on if you’d like to use cables or not. The wifi there is an added option. Good brands (for me) are Belkin and Linksys (though there have been some problems with certain batches of the WRT54g wireless router, go for the compact one). Goodluck!
@ BistadoBoy
Just who do you think you are accusing people of shit like that? You should be ashamed of yourself whoever you are. Just because someone states a different opinion doesn’t mean that he works for someone. Bago ka lang dito, wag kang masyadong mayabang! Go ask Pinnochio and the others, i’ve been commenting here on this blog since September and you’ve just shown up now to tick me off. Don’t be a wise ass dude, if you have nothing better to do than to accuse me then take your shit elsewhere. Be sure you have proof to back up your accusations or else just shut up.
does anybody here tried both wired and wireless networking?? which is best for smart wifi?? what brand?? =)
beware of these people’s BLOG…

Sabi ni Cable….
“Why do you get different results on testmy.net that some other speedtests? Because I use highly compressed data in my method, …”
PA HIGHLY HIGHLY COMPRESSED DATA KA PA DYAN HA!!! ULOL!
THIiS iis the same logic used by www.testmy.net a week or 2 AGO. During which time I tested my SPEED with testmy.net at a whopping speed of 300Kbps WHILE in 4 other speed testers,… output range from 85 to 110Kbps.
Ako rin si GOTYourLogic, ako rin si DOCREEPER

Ngayon… HULI na sila…. mukhang nakakahalata na ang mga walanghiya!!! At ang testmy.net, may “SMARTEST” LOGO!

HOWEVER, some riggers compute it this way…. The ORIGINAL SIZE divided by the time of download…. OR in the case of our compressed example here… 256,000 bits/0.5 second OR 512,000 bits per second(512Kbps) WHICH makes a subscriber think that he has a bandwidth of 512 Kbps when in TRUTH and in FACT it is ONLY 256Kbps.

IF THE TEST DATA IS COMPRESSED BEFORE ITS DOWNLOAD, THEN that 256,000 bits(equal to 32,000 bytes) would perhaps be equal to 128,000 bits(equal to 16,000 bytes) if the compression process yields 50% of the ORIGINAL DATA.
A compressed data is always smaller in size compared to its original form, The percentage of compression just varies depending on the type of the original data.
This compressed data with size 128,000 bits which was originally 256,000 bits would then be downloaded at half the time assuming you STILL use the same line(i.e. in 0.5 second), IF THE TESTER IS NOT RIGGED, THEN IT SHOULD YIELD THE RESULT OF THE COMPUTATION 128,000 BITS/0.5 SECOND OR 256,000 bits per second (256Kbps) STILL ….STILL…STILL…. STILL….
the test data should not be compressed to be downloaded faster if your purpose is to compute the connection’s download speed because it will yield 65% up better results compared to the truth.
for example, if your test data is 256,000 bits (equal to 32,000 bytes) and you have downloaded this amount of data in one(1) second, then your speed tester’s computation should yield 256,000 bits/sec OR 256Kbps.
i measured my bandwith not by using those speed test, rather i download file as many as i can, then see how many kilobytes was it. add it up multiply by 8,u can see the trend much accurately.

the test data should not be compressed to be downloaded faster if your purpose is to compute the connection’s download speed because it will yield 65% up better results compared to the truth.
for example, if your test data is 256,000 bits (equal to 32,000 bytes) and you have downloaded this amount of data in one(1) second, then your speed tester’s computation should yield 256,000 bits/sec OR 256Kbps.
IF THE TEST DATA IS COMPRESSED BEFORE ITS DOWNLOAD, THEN that 256,000 bits(equal to 32,000 bytes) would perhaps be equal to 128,000 bits(equal to 16,000 bytes) if the compression process yields 50% of the ORIGINAL DATA.
A compressed data is always smaller in size compared to its original form, The percentage of compression just varies depending on the type of the original data.
This compressed data with size 128,000 bits which was originally 256,000 bits would then be downloaded at half the time assuming you STILL use the same line(i.e. in 0.5 second), IF THE TESTER IS NOT RIGGED, THEN IT SHOULD YIELD THE RESULT OF THE COMPUTATION 128,000 BITS/0.5 SECOND OR 256,000 bits per second (256Kbps) STILL ….STILL…STILL…. STILL….
HOWEVER, some riggers compute it this way…. The ORIGINAL SIZE divided by the time of download…. OR in the case of our compressed example here… 256,000 bits/0.5 second OR 512,000 bits per second(512Kbps) WHICH makes a subscriber think that he has a bandwidth of 512 Kbps when in TRUTH and in FACT it is ONLY 256Kbps.
And THIS is the same logic used by www.testmy.net a week or 2 AGO. During which time I tested my SPEED with testmy.net at a whopping speed of 300Kbps WHILE in 4 other speed testers, the output range from 85 to 110Kbps.
Ngayon… HULI na sila…. mukhang nakakahalata na ang mga walanghiya!!! At ang testmy.net, may “SMARTEST” LOGO!
isipin nyo na lang kung ano ito…!!!
tama ka dyan Doc!
hehehe…
just don’t “read and believe” every posted message here.
TEST it yourself with at least 5 speed tests!!! The judge would be you!!!…. JUST TAKE extra care when you use sites with SMART LOGO in it whether used as prefix or as postfix. There is a very HIGH probability that it is used to hide the truth! Thanks!
I have seen some posts saying that testmy.net is rigged or something. Funny thing is.. I own testmy.net and I can tell you for sure that it is NOT rigged in any way. Why would I rig it? I want people to come back to my website and giving them the most accurate results will insure that they will be back.
Why do you get different results on testmy.net that some other speedtests? Because I use highly compressed data in my method, most test sites don’t take this extra step and some providers will compress the test data so that you can download it faster (very common with some wireless and satellite companies)… you get a slower result because it’s the truth, not a candy coated truth…….
I search the internet every now and then for pages that are talking about my site and I came across this. If you don’t beleive that I am really the owner of testmy.net go to my site and click the contact link, shoot me a message and I will talk to ya on there ;-)
have a good one.. happy testing

For a month ok, now not, tomorow maybe. smart wifi connection come and go. someday we will all be serve with justice. I too is sick and tired of complaining of no actions, hope with all this they do they will be ready and prepared soon to the TEN FOLDS of payback time.
There is no such things will be left forgotten someday this will all return to them and hunt them down.
Questions maybe unanswered today, but someday at the right time it will speak in our face.
Like SMART WIFI speed and connection not all the time were down.
Forever doesnt belong to this world….
di pa din ba nag improve connection sa inyo, kc sa kin, i used to have 60-80kbps pro ngyon nsa 290-330kbps na. cgruo ung iba nag improve na din, kya mejo tumahimik na din tong blog. so sad to know na ung iba gnun pa rin connection
I am a pldt weroam user , and was planning to switch to smart wifi , but its the same garbage…even though the connection seems to be faster
Hmmm… Well Said!
@Ramil
i have this feeling talaga na namonopolize ng pldt-smart ang wireless (well pati land line din) ang negosyong to.
Para sa gobyerno natin:
alam naman nating lahat na kapag may monopoly panget ang kalalabasan diba? tong mga negosyanteng to ang humarang sa globalization dati kasi daw mamamatay ang industriyang pilipino, eh kung wala namang quality papayag kaba? diba hindi naman? kaya please lang sa gobyerno natin, kung tama ang pagkatingin ko na monopolize nga ang negosyong to, bigyan nyo naman ng ka kumpetensya para naman gumanda ang serbisyo nila, kahit globe at bayantel lang sigurado uusok ang pwet ng pldt – smart na to para pagandahin nila serbisyo nila.
PAYAGAN NYO NA ANG COMPETITION, WAG KAYONG PAPADALA SA UTANG NA LOOB NA BIGAY NILA NOONG ELECTION, KAHIT YUNG MGA BINIBIGAY NILA NGAYON DAHIL MAKASARILI ANG MGA HINAYUPAK NA TO, GUSTO NILA SILA LANG ANG MABUBUHAY DITO.

@ tsunade
try restarting. if it still doesn’t work then you can call the tech support team and they will tell you that you have defective equipment. demand that it be replaced ASAP and tell them that you want to migrate to canopy if possible. good luck!
blinking ang WLAN (1week) wala ako internet connection, ano prob. pag nag bliblink WLAN na LED
Yan Na ba talaga ang sinasabi ko…
BOTH PLDT AND SMART are “Piece of Shit” They have Good Advertisement but Poor in Actual Setting…
PLDT DSL – There are lots of problems/bugs like frequent DC and so on…
Smart Wifi – Only those who stay near/ within the wifi zone can enjoy the services properly (without factors that block the line of site like trees, walls, piece of crap) OH! Man… where’s the Sense of Wireless???
guys, i tested my connection tonight and i got 91 kbps from testmy.net, 84 kbps from giganews.com, 87 kbps from speakeasy.net and 171 kbps from greendot.com.ph. i agree now that testmy.net is rigged. it is rigged by smart wifi so that i will get super low speed results. hahahaha/ presumptions my friends, presumptions! we really can’t tell which speedtest gives accurate results, can we? i agree with you that smart wifi is giving us shit through this wifi service but i don’t think they rig speed tests. i just think they should improve their service as soon as possible before something real bad happens to them. i believe in karma.
@ temuchin
Correct… Ewan ko lang sa ibang company (Bayantel, Globe, etc…) kung bakit hindi pa nila pinapalawak ang internet services nila, sa katunayan wala pang Globe/bayanTel internet services na ini-offer sa amin dito sa Zamboanga City, Kung minsan nga nakakainis na.. Currently PLDT and Smart lang pa dito sa amin ang nag-ooffer ng internet services (DSL). Pero malas naman kasi hindi nila ini-entertain ang mga residencial subscriber for the mean time dito… Kesyo wala na silang Port Available para dito (DSL plan 999 and other residencial services… pero kung para sa mga bagong internet cafe meron.. What the FuCK!!! Sabi wala ng Port? Hay ewan… But I still hope na sana yung mga ibang Company (Globe, BayanTel, etc…) ipapalawak na nila yung mga services (DSL) nila to put this 2 Clowns down! (Smart and PLDT) and to realise how Greedy and bad they are!!!
@ pinnochio
check out these results, now if you truly believe that testmy.net is rigged then why did i get this ridiculously low speed just now? and why did i get a higher speed from speakeasy??? come on, be more objective guys, no one can truly say that this test is truly rigged and that test is not. if you have proof that testmy.net is indeed rigged by smart then show it to me, if you don’t have any then don’t make these hasty presumptions, just a word of advice ok? if you don’t agree with me then that’s ok.

mali sinabi ko, may ka compete pala kaso di lang masyado nagpalawak ng market ewan ko ba kung bakit ang globe ayaw mag penetrate banda sa amin, takot kaya sila sa smart? or hahayaan muna nila ang smart para malaman nila ang market status saka nalang sila papasok pag stable na? hmmmm tipid nga naman sa research
thanks bro i send email to the address you’ve provided.
i can still remember those days na pag nag apply ka ng landline it will take forever para ma approve. it looks like a plain bullying to me pero di lang masyado halata kasi professional ang dating pero andun parin ang content, abusado kasi sila lang may ganun.
after may dumating na iilang ka compete, ayun medyo gumanda ang serbisyo nila (pdlt).
etong punyetang smart na to wala pa kasing magaling na ka compete kaya abusado din. sige lang kasi pag nagkaroon kayo sigurado syento porsyento lilipat lagpas kalahati ng subscribers nyo.

People,
if you’re looking for a reliable bandwidth test tool, use this:
http://www.internetfrog.com/mypc/speedtest/
That requires Java installed, and the test data being used to test your upload/download cannot be cached by your browser or Smart WiFi proxies. Also, it shows your connection latency.
To those people who want to take this to the next level (TV coverage), below is a copy of the comment on my blog:
Please count me in. Gusto ko na makawala sa smart and kung meron gusto makisama sa akin, sa ABS-CBN ako nag tratrabaho and ang sabi saken para ma-media yung issue e kelangan marami ang magrereklamo. Please email me your name and contact number to satch_****@****.*** for abs to interview us and if I can gather enough responses, they will air our side.
To the person whi owns this blog can you email me all those who posted their grievances here so I can send a mass mail regarding this issue. Thanks.
i don’t think testmy.net is rigged. if that were true then i would have consistently high scores. i tested my speed tonight and double checked it using giganews.com, check this out:

hello bros and sis
its been a while since i visited this blog. as far as i can remember, this blog is 170 plus pages already. what happened? napadalhan ata ng sulat ang may ari ng blog na to at sinabihang “pre pag di mo tinanggal yung mga negative feedback namin tanggalin ko ngala ngala mo”. parang ganun kaya?
anyways, im back dahil alam kong may makakaintindi sa aking problema, and guess whats my problem?????
you got it right ANG PUTANG NANG SMART WIFI CONNECTION
dahil maliit lamang ako at wala akong magawa everytime na may pang gagagong katulad nito, wala akong magawa kundi sabihin din sa inyo ang nararamdaman ko.
sana naging magaling akong public speaker, kung nangyari yun im sure kasama ako nila jose ma sison ngayon buti nalang hindi.
ang sama talaga ng dating sa akin ng smart, ang lakas nilang mang bully palibhasa monopolize nila ang negosyong to.
kung saka sakaling darating ang panahon biglang mag twist ang lahat at biglang matanggal na ang monopoly sa ganitong negosyo (sana naman dumating ang matinding ka kumpetensya nila), di ko alam kung anong klase at kung gaano kalakas ang magiging tawa ko. for sure in a span of 50 to 100 years, this guys will be eating shit. for sure kahit anong pigil nyo para di makapasok mga competitor nyo, darating at darating ang panahon makakapasok din sila sa market nyo. gustong gusto ko na umalis sa serbisyo nyo, pero as i have said, wala akong choice kasi kayo lang ang option ko sa lugar namin, putang ina talaga.
alam nyo ba kung ano ang mga bagay na pwedeng maging dahilan para matalo kayo ng mga kalaban nyo sa negosyo?, western businessmen are very aggressive (kayo din naman very aggresive din sa pandaraya) and they what they are doing up to the last detail (parang atomic level na) at magaling silang mag dala ng tao nila mapa customer or kung kalaban man sa negosyo di tulad nyo makakita lang kayo ng posibleng kalaban sa negosyo gusto nyo patay agad ang kalaban nyo.
parang lumalayo na ang mga sinasabi ko siguro resulta to ng matinding galit ko pero oks lang kaya pa.
SA MGA MAKA KALIWA KUNG GUSTO NYO TONG GAWIN, GAWIN NYO NA. MAY NAKABAON NA FIBER OPTIC LINE DYAN SA BATANGAS ANG SMART – PLDT. GOING HAWAII ANG LINE NAYAN.

People,
I just got this comment on my blog.
http://javaaddict.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/02/21/dti-on-the-move-to-resolve-smart-wifi-problem.html#c690053
@ Jun
Great!
I wonder when will i be able to have a high speed internet access? Dial-up SuCKs!!! Hay buhay…
i often had disconnections, what i do is disconnect the cable and connect it back, then after a while my connection usually returns to normal. this works for me mostof the time
@ vinvinvin
yes, this week i had numerous disconnections but they were just momentary except one which lasted from 10 pm – 4 am. i was migrated to canopy antenna last month and since then i’ve had no major problems. you’re right, this week bumagal talaga! are you using the canopy btw? i tried calling them up to last week but they said their system was undergoing system enhancement or something like that. keep on asking for rebates though
@ramil
no problem with downloads since i use p2p most of the time and i get decent speeds. the thing about this service is that it varies from location to location, from user to user. i just wish they’d stop congesting the network just to get more money.
Tumigil na ba kayo sa pag email sa NTC at DTI? Parang sobrang pangit nanaman ang connection! Bumilis na ito eh tapos parang pagong nanaman ngayon…
@jun,
Laging na di-disconnnect ngayong week, mabagal pa! Pagtawag ko sa customer care, sira rin daw system nila! Tawag nalang daw ako after an hour! Hayzzzzzzz…
@ Jun
So far they didn’t charge me for anything else… Buti na lang :)
As for the PLDT DSL i know that there are lots of bad comments right now, i hope they will work with it. I hope Globelines will offer their broadband services here soon.. Anyway you can download 12am-9am i guess you can get a stable connection within that range of time. Thanks By the way… :D
@ ramil
hmmmm. i believe i’m more than 2 kms from the base station and i definitely cannot see it from the roof of my house. i had my antenna extended to 20 feet. i have a normal connection now (meaning fast in the morning and slow from lunch till the evening) but i seldom get cut off. as to the pldt 999 wifi, forget about it, different name, same game. just get a wired connection. while that may sound better i have heard a lot of bad things about them too. by the way, were you refunded?
@ vinvinvin
i experienced a steady decline in speed this past week. good thing is my connection has been stable up to this moment. what about yours?
Tumigil na ba kayo sa pag email sa NTC at DTI? Parang sobrang pangit nanaman ang connection! Bumilis na ito eh tapos parang pagong nanaman ngayon!
Jun sad to say nga that when the tech of meridian went to our house, first they just climb to the roof of our house then try to see if they were able to see the tower cellsite (Smart), Unfortunately it is not anymore visible due to the fact that, there are lots of factors (Trees, wall ng building/ houses, etc…) that blocks to its site. After that they just told that, No chance daw talaga kasi walang “Line Of Site” Judging from the distance of the cellsite tower it’s about more than 1 km only, and that’s the one that is bothering me… Why? Where’s the “Sense Of Wireless” parang hindi nga dapat tawagin Wire_less, And the most Frustrating part to me is they didn’t bother to try testing it to my PC kung may signal ba o wala talaga, Basta ganun lang ang ginawa… hindi umabot ng 5 minutes nung pumunta sila dito sa amin para i-test, How discouraging naman ang service nila… I haved apply last March 9 and went to our house last March 14 lang. With regards to “Congested signals”, i think hindi naman siguro… Kasi konti pa lamang ang gumagamit nito sa amin sa Zamboanga City, compare sa ibang lugar/cities. Nag-apply ako ng PLDT-Wifi 999 a month rin. Same as Smart.
Anyway What do you think JUN? Guys?
By the way ang DSL plan 999 naman sa amin wala na daw available due to lots of internet cafe opening kesyo wala na silang “Port” para dun… Pero kung sa Business/internet cafe meron! Ano ba naman yan.. Pareho lang naman binabayaran sila.. Parang ang dating nila ay they only want to Prioritize yung mga nagpaplano mag-open ng internet cafe.
ano ba naman yan… And wait, bago pa ako nag-plano i-avail ang PLDT-Wifi nila, my first choice is DSL plan 999 talaga and you know what one of the Tech Representative told that kung gusto ko daw talaga ng DSL plan 999 (hindi wireless/wifi) e dapat daw ang bayarin ko is around 10,800 agad. I told to myself.. akala ko ba wala na silang Port na available? kung internet cafe meron.. if i will pay the amount of 10,800 maa-avail ko daw. WHAT!!! siniswerte sila! parang ang dating nila ay Mukang Pera talaga, Imagine… they require you to pay that amount (10,800 or something) for 1 year agad… what if i agree tapos wala pa siguro 1 year ibat-ibang problema na ang mararanasan ko, etc… e Yari na ako kasi paid na yun.. sayang naman.. Gusto nga sana ng mga tao na ma-save o para hindi mabigat agat sa pocket tapos ganun! hindi na affordable ang dating nun! diba mga guys?
@ JUN, ano ba ang situation diyan sa inyo JUN? pareho lang ba tayo? Nakikita mo ba ang Tower (cellsite ng smart)? Wala bang mga objects that blocks the line of site sa inyo?
Anyway, I guess i just have to wait na lang if everything are already settle.. Kasi sabi nung Tech Representative ng PLDT sa amin baka by 2007 may new Port na sila para sa mga DSL cable, I wish sana nga… : ( :( :(
Globelines Broadband Pls. Save Us…
@ ramil
when you first got connected did you have a good connection speed? if so, for how long? i’m around 2 kms from the base station pero so far ok parin, even though it’s quite slow. i guess you’re base station is quite congested already. condolence.
Thanks Anyway karlos2k6… hintayin ko na lang kung ok na ang DSL cable/wire i wonder lang kung kailan hehehe… For the rest of you guys na ok naman ang connection congrats and enjoy.. God Bless.
me point kayo, pero malayo na rin ung signal na pinagkunan ko, inilipat nila sa iba ng technical group, just ask nyo sila sabihin nyo “bagsak o no signal” or kung pwede extend nila ung antenna. suggestion ko lang.

Lucky for you karlos2k6 i believe that malapit lang ang cellsite tower ng smart sa inyo at nakikita mo lang kaya ok lang ang connection mo.. But for us Die trying talaga! Kasi hindi nakikita o may nahaharang na objects (trees, building, etc…) Kaya wala talaga… Naman.. What im trying to say is sana baguhin naman nila ang wireless internet tech nila! kesyo.. tress/ wall lang ang tapat wala na… San na ang sense of Wireless! sana ginawa nila kagaya sa laptop (802.11 or other type of connections) na kahit nasa CR ka may access pa rin basta nasa wireless zone ka.. Thanks : D

IMO I think they have had enough time to study the technology at hand, remember meridian was up and running catering to both residential and corporate clients for some time before smart bought the company.
The main problem I see is there is not enough bandwidth to go around. On top of that smart still continues to accept new subscribers kahit they know for a fact their current network cannot handle anymore. Greedy diba.
From the article in inq7, smart says these are “birth pains.” What a big joke. The technology has been around for some time and implemented in different locations around the globe, so there is really no reason for smart to be saying so.
My advice sa mga subscribers having problems….don’t stress yourselves too much…..easy lang mahal magkasakit ngayon.
umaasa pa akong gumanda ang service ng smartwifi! Kasi naman no choice ako d2 samin , dial up lang kalaban ng smart d2 samin eh! Pero pag nagka Globe na hopefully, lagot na yun smart pag di nag bago ng sistema.
guys,
ok naman ang smart wifi nagkaroon lang technical problem, in my own opinion ang smart wifi kc bago lang kumbaga sa cellphone “message sent or message failed, or network prob or no signal parati ” dati diba? its because nung mga panahon na un in demand ang cellphone at madami subscriber, and trial and error lang yan, sa bandang huli getting smooth na yan, in fact lilipat na rin sana ko sa globe, pero may nagsabi sakin na globe subscriber ganon din daw cla, that means sasakit din ang ulo ko sa kanila. reaction ko lang im not pro-smart, smart wifi lang din gamit ko. peace

Hay..
Hay nako!!!
@ Christian Deive at iba pang guys dyan sa Zamboanga Helli nga pala….
Chris.. Tama ka ang smart and pldt wifi pareho lang yan… kung gusto mo talaga na malakas ang speed mo ay dapat malapit ka sa tower ng cellsite ng smart (Line of Site) Ibig sabihin nakikita mo ang tower.. Nagsubscribe ako bago lang pero di natuloy kasi sabi ng tech hindi daw nila nakikita ang tower (cellsite) at natatakpan ng mga iba pang objects like trees/ buildings. Kaya di na lang nila itinuloy… PLDT WIFI 999 ako nag-apply how sad naman!!! Very Low-Tech naman ang Wifi Technology nila… parang hindi bagay tawagin wireless tech pang Age of kopong-kopong pa siguro yun… Sya nga pala taga TETUAN Ako, Imagine Sa part ng Tetuan hangang sa plaza banda chruch at somewhere alfaro lang siguro yung pwede!!!
Mag PLDT DSL plan 999 na lang siguro ako… mas ok pa kasi wire/cable ang gamit.. I think ok lang man siguro dito sa Zambonga City and DSL Plan 999 kasi hindi pa talaga masyadong crowded and connection compare to other large cities like Manila, Cebu, etc… Kaso nga lang nagtanong ako sa service rep. ng DSL sa PLDT (Zamboanga City) na kailangan daw na 10,800 ang i-bayad mo agad for 1 year na yan kasi para ma-avail yung PLDT DSL PLan 999 (384kbps) kasi limited na lang ang port nila dito.. pina-priorities nila ang mga netcafe dito at kung sino and unang nababad hay naku… muchang pera talaga ang labas!!! pero i think wala na talaga akong ibang choice kundi PLDT DSL na lang talaga… WALA naman GLOBE/ BayanTel.. Thanks
Galing ng smartwifi!!!! Yehey , libre publicity,,,,,,,bad publicity nga lang!!hehehehehh
