Smart Bro or Globe Broadband

[tabularasa08]

hay, ano ba yan? d pa din ako maka-decide kung ano bibilin ko? tattoo ba or smart bro? 

ayoko kase magsayang ng pera dahil tight budget ako ngayon.. haaay

[mald1ta]

yes sis. mabilis siya & at the same time, mabilis din ang customer service.

ahh talaga sis? thanks sa info!

ilang years lock-in nila?

^^sis tabularasa08, sa ngayon ang cheapest is Globe...worth a try naman reliable for me so far on my second day of using it.

but i wouldn't recommend wireless broadband as a main internet connection talaga. uubusin lang load mo. this is really for emergency or pag wala talagang internet connection where you are.

iba pa rin talaga ang DSL. after experiencing DSL and wireless broadband, hindi ko ipagpapalit ang PLDT MyDSL ko.

^kase sis, naka-apartment ako dito sa manila and  ayoko naman mag-DSL kase pag ganon, pagsasamantalahan ng mga housemates ko yung netbook ko. eh ayoko sana magpahiram  ayoko kase manisi ng iba pag nagkaproblem yung netbook ko..
isa pa, pag weekend lang naman ako makakapag-net ng matagal.

^^sis, nalilito na tuloy ako sa smart. kung di ako nagkamali, sabi nila, unlimited connection blah blah JUST PLUG IN. prepaid ba ito or wireless broadband na nasa USB? hindi po yung parang nasa ipod nano (na prepaid yata).. hehe! check ko site nila..

[Trempot]

^sis tabularasa, ahh ganun ba? hehe globe nalang. mostly naman gumagana sa manila yung akin, dun ako nagcocover and it hasn't failed on me.

2 years ago, naka Smart Bro kami sa bahay. Plan 999 for 384kps. There are a lot of times na mabagal ang connection. But then last year August 2008, nagkaron na ng Globe Broadband sa lugar namin. P1295 for 1MPBS speed plus landline na. So I availed for this plan. I am happy with the speed plus yun nakamura ako kasi I don't have to pay for another bill sa landline. Pina cut ko na yun PLDT landline namin kasi may globe landline na kasama sa bundle. Contented naman ako sa speed ng Internet ko pero nagkaron din ng time na nabwiset ako kasi 3 weeks akong walang Internet connection at super bagal ng Tech Support nilang mag respond.

Its actually 10pesos for every 30 minutes with Smart Bro Prepaid.

First to the 30th minute will be charged 10 pesos.  Once you hit the 31st minute a total of 20 pesos will be charged.  The charging is actually per 30 minutes block (period).

automatic na ba un per minute charging nila? alam ko kasi kelangan pa magsubscribe para maging per minute un charging mo. eh pag nagsubscribe ka 60p expiration niya ata 2days lang.

saken automatic na sis.. hindi na ko nagregister pa..
