Hmmm… It seems that your connection has a problem. A CSR from the *1888 told me that SMARTBRO’s good range of speed is from 150kbps up to 384kbps. So if your attained lower that 150kbps then you need to ask for a technical support. Kindly spare time to call their hotline or file a complain in any wireless center.

Let me know once your connection improves or not…

Wish ko lang umabot ng 100kbps ang speed ko, okay na ako sa Smart Bro. u_u;; Kaso yung sinasabi nilang 384kbps, kahit minsan, hindi pa naaabot ng connection namin. Bakit kaya ganun? Since 2005 pa kami connected sa Smart Bro. Gusto na naming lumipat ng service, kaso halos walang affordable na service dito sa Biñan, Laguna.

Bakit sa ibang bansa okay naman ang internet nila, at nagrereklamo na sila kapag bumaba ng 100kbps ang speed nila? >__>;; Kapag tinitingnan ko ang download speeds ng peers ko sa uTorrent, inggit na inggit ako sa kanila… 50kb/s, 70kb/s, 100+kb/s… kasi sa akin mga 5kb/s lang… Masaya na ako sa 20kb/s. Ganun na ba ka-primitibo ang internet dito sa ‘tin??? ;~;

Can’t say I hate smart wifi because their speed is ok. But I really do dislike them because they are sooooooooo unreliable. My connection times-out so OFTEN, it just gets on my nerves . For those who have anger issues—STAY AWAY FROM THEM, kasi ako parang masira ko na ang wires nila sa kaka-reconnect.

..when i started d/l, u/l was measured in bits per second, the line used to go dead frequently when it got flooded, and there were 5 protocols on 5 different computers, mind you that was in 1985, on the small Scottish island of Islay, and my computer was 16k….

..in central very-rural France i saw the system go from 16k d/l,u/l to 56, 128, 512, 1GB WiFi or copper cable and more, my machine moved from Win95, and 32k to ME and 128 Ram….

..now, i’m on the edge of the known world, just, more or less as far from anywhere as you can get without falling over the rim, and i’m u/l,d/l ing at around 50KB/50KB, after early teething troubles (days with no connection etc) and my machine is soon to be running on 512 Ram, already with XP pro, 400Gbs memory etc…

..no, i don’t have a copper-cable option,i barely have a reliable electric supply, and don’t ask about main drainage…

.. yes, i do think it is amazing i can even get internet, never mind for now that i can’t get vunderkind download speeds, i can get the BBC, and as we all know, that’s important, where would we be without the cricket Test series, the Archers and I’m sorry i haven’t a clue….

..do stop winging and get real,

.. if you don’t like Smart, get, if you can, one of the wireless radio ISPs, 4.5MB d/l,u/l and that in Davao yesterday, if you have no choice then continue to support them, they’l get better, or do without, it’s your choice…

thanks to smart, i have access at my home in the province. BUT, why am i subsidizing them for their testing phase or their learning curve? i paid money, so give me my service. if i wanted to give charity, i should have bought a booklet of sweepstake tickets.

if they cant deliver, they can always give rebates… which they dont. the moral is: give rebates when its due. why do i need to give my sympathy to a corporation raking in money without delivering service? give us our rebate, we’ll shut up. period.

- dont love a corporation, it’ll never love you back.

I just have a few words to say becoz im am soooooo fcking pissed right now…..

GO TO HELL….. SMART WIFI

Blacmailers/Shitty connection/Intermittent/DUMBASS customer support/service/ EVEN MORE DUMBASS Technician.

ACCEPT ng ACCEPT ng new user pero hndi nag papa DAMI NG BASE STATIONS mga mukhang pera! kaya agaw agaw bandwith mga pota na smart wifi.

ang hula ko yun mga disconnect sadya para yung bandwith mo mapagamit naman sa iba, then sila nmn ma didisconnect tapos ikaw nmn makaka gamit ng bandwith.. every 1-5 to 10 mins ganyan

And for everyones information, We had about 384kbps as promised at first connection when it was introduced/advertised so it is not US or line of SIGHT it is them, SMart wifi company that is getting away with their shitty service, it was only a month where it had been 384kbps and we are a subscriber since Oct. 04, 2005.

To all those na nawawalan ng signal…. pls, don’t judg to harshly, ang line of sih siguro ng sites eh di kau abot, and by the way.. yung mga laging napupunta sa smart wifi portal page everytime you open the browser(IE, firefox) try nio lng to…. maglog in kau tapos sasabihin nya irestart ung computer. Un lang tapos sakin hindi na ulit nag ganun.

I don;t know pero sakin okei ang smart wifi… cheap and relatively fast (not lower than 150 kbps) so okei cya. =)

Smart Wifi unlimited 256kbps is a lie…. yan kasi experience ko.. hindi nga pumapatak ng 200kbps.. this last 3 days ay 7 times akung nawlan ng signal.. hindi naman teknologiya ang problema eh.. ang problema ay ang paggamit ng substandard na gamit… second hand lang kasi transmitter dito.. dapat may discount kami.. im not discouraging wifi users, gusto ko lang itama yung kini claim nila.. kung 128kbps lang ang kaya bakit hindi yung itinda nila..hindi yung malayo sa katotohan… bakit may 24hrs bang nagclose palagi.. hehe…

I could symphatize to those prostrated smart wi-fi subscribers.I would like to suggest that smart wi-fi should be investigated by NTC for giving faulse hopes to us.They should be investigated because the were given tax holiday for 6 years as pioneer in this technology.Imagine they gained profits at our own expense???Shame on you….SMART WI-FI…!!!!
