Misfortunes of Smart Wifi and Smart Bro Customers
Pity you guys.. 1 year na me na Smart WiFi subs.. and to-date over 80GB of downloaded MP3s and Movies..etc na ang na-accumulate ko.
Indeed there are days/nights that you experience intermittent connection. But guys, didn’t you realize, or have you realized - it is WIRELESS. Same thing that happens sa mobile mo, low signal at times, lag ang text, noisy voice signal…
Same thing you might experience sa WiFi..
But mind you guys, happy ako.. In fact my PC is always on kase my household are hooked already sa PC ko…
We are able to talk to my bro in Alaska. Laking tipid kase YM voice and webcam.
Research are done sa google na.. Useless na books ng mga pamangkin ko.
My location: Paco-Pandacan Area.
So guys, chill! ok..
Think of the positive side…
Eto naman, 5mins lang kayo na-disconnect fuming mad na agad..
Syempre, birhtpains yan. New service pa lang in the philippines. Eh ano alternative niyo sa WiFi..
Sige nga…
Cool guys…
Alvin…
Happy Bro Subs

Just got connected to Smart Bro this afternoon and I posted the details of it here. So far, my first day seems ok and each time I go online, I am able to connect without a hitch.
Here are my detailed reports for today:
Date: May 26, 2006
Time: 2:30PM
PLDTPlay: 260.3 kbps
GlobeQuest Utilities: 235.0 kbps
2Wire: 99.50 kbps
TestMy: 113 kbps
Date: May 26, 2006
Time: 11:00PM
PLDTPlay: 383.9 kbps
GlobeQuest Utilities: 307.1 kbps
2Wire: 203.8 kbps
TestMy: 252 kbps kbps
I suggest that everyone to take note of the date and time when posting their bandwidth speed reports and use the 4 sources which I used above to measure them. This will allow us to see the trend of the speed on a 24 hour basis and on a weekly basis as well.

The recent re-branding of Smart Wifi to Smart Bro also completes a bundling of all fixed wireless services by PLDT, Smart and Meridian.
A quick search for the term “smart wifi” would show Smart’s official website on #1 but clicking on it showed a deleted page while a new page has been created for Smart Bro.
The earlier announcement indicated that PLDT’s myDSL-W will also be bundled into Smart Bro. However, a website on PLDT myPad still shows the services for myDSL-W (wireless fixed broadband) as available:
