I think we are obtaining our connection from japan, taiwan and countries above philippines via sea cables. So earthquake can be a factor. I am using smartbro and I called the hotline number to ask why the connection is slow they said that it is about the taiwan earthquake thing.. ^_^

balak ko rin sana kumuha nung smartbro na pre-paid… ok kaya yon? 4,500 ata yung gadget eh tapos, load ka nlang ng load, parang cellphone kaso baka mabagal din… dial up lang kasi gamit koh… any suggestion guys?
May 7th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Mas ok yata pldt dsl na 990..
May 7th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
alam nyo depende lang sa area yan ma pa smart bro or globe kaya dapat alamin nyo muna if ano ang malakas sa area nyo. smart bro ang gamit ko unlimited na 999 lang! hindi rin maganda ang pre paid if sa haus ka kasi mapamahal kalang. maganda lang if may laptop ka at pang business trip.
actually gusto ko din sana mag globe broadband kaya lang pag punta ko dun sinabihan ako na puno na sa area namin so mbgal na ang sagap kaya di na ako tumuloy. cge sana naka tulog ang kwento ko ehehehe!!!
May 11th, 2008 at 12:12 am
please dont subscribe sa smartbro…. please lang… super inconsiderate ng customer service nila ma-pa-over the phone and personal.
My aunt who is also using the service is very disgusted with their service. Walang connection madalas tapos pang umulan patay na.
There was this time that my aunt asked if they could move the canopy or kung ano yung kumukuha ng signal para makakuha ng connection… yung technician pumunta ng 7pm ( my aunt waited the whole afternoon just to see the technician) tapos ayun kinabit lang yung device sa bintana… same thing happened walang connection.
Then my tita asked if she can have the service disconnected na lang. she called dozens of times already to cancel the service that doesnt even work properly sa Cust. Serv. and sabi nila they have to finish the freaking contract daw… Do you want to pay for the service that doesnt even work at all? Think about it…..

I’m one of the commentors of Jehzlau Concepts (Smart Bro Sucks Topic). Lots of people having problems with Smart Bro connectio, neither I. But it wasn’t Smart’s fault, It’s you and your PC’s fault. Not because you tweaked it until it’s broken, the LAN Driver is the one of the most unknown problems for newbie users. Try to determine what is the model of your LAN Card (not the modem, the one that has larger socket.) Try to update it, or if you have an onboard/built-in LAN Card, go to the site where it is Manufactured.
Another is your vicinity location. Provinces maybe not that good in Internet unless, you’re near a city or a SMART Connection Site near you.
Another one is the position of your router (the one that is white and like a pencil case). Try to extend the height of the rod where the router is placed, make sure nothing clogs it up, no trees, no rooftops, no neigbors hell.
Try these if you deserve to have a good connection.
Or if you hate SMART, try to have a PLDT Quick Install Kit, locate them at any SM Department Stores.

I just don’t recommend you to try Globe 595, Try the PLDT Quick Install Kit.
Why PLDT Quick Install Kit?
1. Simple to install. Approx. 5-15mins depending on your skill.
2. 24-Hour Wait period (Unlike engineered maintenance, took about 3 days).
I just didn’t said that it was superb, it just balanced speed.
If you want to have a superb speed, I think it will be on Late 2009/Early 2010.
I’m sorry about it. But it’s true, we need another foreign company for these wanted speed.
Sometimes, being independent isn’t good. That’s the way it is.

Kung gusto nyo ng magandang connection do not apply broadband connection. Di pa ganun kaganda ang broadband dito sa pilipinas. Mag apply n lang kau sa pldt sigurado ang speed ng wired na hindi mapuputol pag nagpalit ng weather. Meron kasing effect un sa antenna like sa tv pag umuulan di masyadong maganda ang kuha it is because ung contact natatakpan ng ulap, hangin or any barriers. Also depende rin sa area mo kung marami ng gumagamit means traffic na, kung icompare mo sa kalsada pag kokonti ang sasakyan mabilis kang makakapagpatakbo pero pag marami, kelangan maghintay bago ka makarating ganun din ang pag balik. tapos broad band pa di pa ganun ka stable ang connectivity mo kung nag palit ang weather or kung masyadong malayo ang reception ng antenna.
Unlike kung sa wired like pldt walang tendency na maputol ang linya unless kung naputol ung wire or nagkaroon din ng problem sa side ng pldt. Pero di mo pa rin maiiwasan ang traffic sa dami ng user na gumagamit. pero pede nilang i maximize ung control ng pumpasok at lumalabas na bandwidth.
Hope this kuwento eh nakatulong.
May 18th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
will mypldt dsl quick install work on provinces? like sta. maria, bulacan? my globe phone doesnt even have a signal when im inside the house in our place… so, i bet globe broadband is a no… smart signal is better…
May 22nd, 2008 at 11:29 am
If anyone else is planning to have the Globe Promo 595, your connection will be up to 233-259kbps (256 in short). That means when you’re downloading files, the kb/s range is from 18-32kb/s and it depends on the download mirror (link). It’s good for starters.
But it doesn’t mean it’s unlimited. :D

im an smartbro user and a gamer..hmm im using it for a year na..hmm satisfied naman ako sa connection ko..ung ibang tropa ko smartbro din kaso di ganun kabilis tulad ng sa akin..i think naka apekto ung pagdagdag ko ng 20feet sa antenna at sa paghanap ng magandang signal ng net..(sabhin nyo sa nagaayos un) at ung specs ng computer..^^4G ram..di naman lag ang ran ko at gg..
good luck sa iba

@rapz
4GB is a good one for a casual gamer, but it won’t be that necessary of you’ve got Windows Vista. DirectX 10 Just have its algorithm that enables the sharing inside your PC. You’ll be experiencing a great performance…
Anyways, I use 8GB of ram… :D
May 27th, 2008 at 8:00 am
i was once a globe broadband subscriber. i can say i was just wasting my money then because of the poor internet connection and poor service as well. for one year akong nagtiis sa globe tapos we paid P1, 600.00 pa a month. grabeh! but my friend advised me to switch to pldt myDSL and i was glad coz i can really see the difference of the speed. and we are only paying only P1,200 a month. though i have experienced disconnection with myDSL but still i can say it’s much more better thaN globe broadband.
May 28th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
after reading all the manuals of globe i decided to stick in smart bro..there is alot of requirements and not only 595 but if think their promo is very expensive and many to pay…
