   I was about to subscribe to smart broken, but then my friend told me to read same blogs and forums about this. Then after reading all of this I finally decided not to go with my plan.

   High blood din ako sa sinabi mo.

   Well said my friend but its not that general. Do you know how many clients right now in smart broadband? Almost 80 000 + subs, and how many registers user here, 286 as of this writing. And hindi pa lahat bad trip sa connection kagaya mo.

   Kung pumunta ka sa batanes, Jolo, basilan, at marami pang lugar, maraming pilipinong nakakagamit na nang internet dahil sa smartbro. Internet service na di naabot ng PLDT, Globe, etc. Mga kabataang pilipino, mga oridnaryong tao na nakakagamit ng internet dahil sa smart bro at natututo, nagiging computer literate and internet savvy.

   Ill give you some example of internet speed in some part of our country like in Mindanao.

   Imagine wala ka sa manila pero ang ping mo sa Yahoo.com is averaging 250ms, not bad di ba?

   Now how come na masasabi ng karamihan d2 na bulok ang smartbro, eh pansarili nyo lang naman yung tinitignan nyo.

   I really appreciate your complaints guys. I just want to gurantee you that smart is doing their best para maging stable ang connection.

   Just be open minded or be patient.

   Best Wishes,

   Ei, help naman guys o! Kasi d ako makapasok sa mga websites except sa yahoomail. ok naman ymessenger ko. Pero ung ibang sites di ko ma open, ano bang dapat kong gawin? help naman me o, pls. tnx! tapos ang smartbro pa sobrang bagal, putol putol connection nila, nakakainis!

5. mackoy July 31st, 2006 at 2:56 pm 5

   @enausense

   check mo kung naka-work offline yung browser mo… kung hindi, sorry, pero mag-tyaga ka na lang na tumawag sa customer service ng smartbro…

6. mackoy July 31st, 2006 at 3:12 pm 6

   tama si ladysail…

   kailan ba nagreklamo ang mga satisfied clients? ang mga maiingay lang naman eh yung mga di satisfied…

   totoo, may mga palpak na connections… pero meron din naman na ok yung connection, hindi lang na-meet yung expectation ng client…

   well in the first place smart bro-ken is already oversubscribe in my opinion. they advertise 384Kbps speed but most of the time im lucky to have more than 56Kbps speed.
   Question ko lang paano mo nakuha yan mga ping stats nayan if your just a regular subriber like us or your just a PR people of smart???
   Its as if your justifying their lousy service. Ping stats doesnt really give you a good overall picture on how good or bad smart is treating their customers.
   There’s only few people here because this site is not well known.

8. realmcoy August 4th, 2006 at 7:31 pm 8

   Well I think ladysail wants to emphasize the good side or the benefits of smartbro, having internet access throughout our archipelago, from Batanes though Jolo and not the good/bad connection of smart bro.

   Indeed there is lapses, slow connection in “some’ (mostly 1%-2%) clients. But still, not in genral. I guess, smart is doing their best to isolate this problem. Perhaps all of you guys, having slow connection is this, your BTS where you are homed is full already in capacity. And this problem is already address on smart. They know which BTS is already congested and their on their way to add more bandwidth on the said BTS.

   Why do I know this, because I have a friend on smart and he told me whats going on. And Im home at not congested BTS (few cliends home) right now, that’s why my connection is not bad.

   In addition, I think smartbro adverstise that ur connection is “up to” 384kbps, this means that if one BTS has 50 clients or more, their sharing a bandwidth of guranteed 12Kbps “up to” 384kpbs pipe. This means that your internet speed is guranteed 12Kbps and it may burst or not burst to 384kbps, depending on the available bandwithd in the pipe. It also depends on your wireless link also. It also depends on 1st come, 1st serve basis on using the internet

   Thats all I know.

9. flxrms August 8th, 2006 at 2:45 pm 9

   Yeah thats the problem…they change it to “UP TO 384Kbps” But thats not what they told me when i applied for it, they told me my speed is 384Kbps…no “UP TO 384Kbps”..Kaya nga nag rebrand sila from SmartWifi to SmartBro para maisama yan “UP TO 384KBPS” besides..i know when to change my Base station so if my current base station is more than 20 i usually change it to another base station that is less than 5 people currently connected and its still so slowww…

10. pj August 9th, 2006 at 1:54 pm 10

    “up to 7x faster than dial up” so meaning from 1-7x faster than dial up.. so pag ang speed ko is 56kbps lang ok lang.. kasi un naman promo ng smart eh.. ganun ba dapat un? sana pala di na smartBROadband tinawag nila kasi di naman for broadband speeds kung bababa ka pa sa 56kbps.. and oo nga maiingay lang ung mga di satisfied, well kung talaga nga naman kasing may mabuti kang masasabi sa smartbro sasabihin mo, la naman pumipigil eh.. pero mas marami lang talagang negative feedbacks sa smartbro.. pero kahit ganyan, umaasa pa rin naman ang mga tao na magiimprove ang smart.. by that time siguro naman dapat di na puro negative ung isisigaw ng mga tao.. dun lang natin mapapatunayan kung maganda na ba talaga ang smartbro..

    halos na-iyak ako sa first call ko sa customer support last july 2005. first impression lasted lifetime…

12. JaphetB August 13th, 2006 at 5:00 pm 12

    Dati naka-Digitel DSL ako dito sa Tungko, Bulacan pero dahil wala na silbi yung phone (pangprobinsyang tawag lang, Metro Manila call is considered long distance) we decided to cut off yung landline, saka lahat naman kami sa bahay may celfon.

    Ayun switch kami sa SmartBro-ken… kakapagtaka lang… first time na kabit ng smartbro mga Feb. this year halos napantayan nya sa performance yung Digitel, 200-390kbps lagi speed… yan ay mga isang buwan lang…

    Pagdating ng March ayun simula na ang walanag-katapusang disconnections, activity sa base station, connected pero 1kbps speed…halos kumulo dugo ko sa katatawag sa “TECH SUPOT”! Aba bandang huli hindi na rin ako makapasok sa *1888 na yan! Binalocked na yata dalawang cell numbers ko! Tuwing tawag ko “your number cannot be completed at this time!”

    After a while nagsawa ako sa kaka-complain, I started searching sa forums about feedbacks at sa halos 5 sites/blogs na napasyalan ko katakot-takot na mura inabot ng not-so-SMARTBRO-ken… Mga 90% ng feedbacks below negative zero…Isipin mo nga naman, nakalock ka sa 1 year contract sa isang non-existent na serbisyo…. Biro mo Php 988 x11 (1 month lang matinong service sakin) = 10,868 aba malaking pera magagatas nila mula sa akin! Multiply mo yan sa dami ng complainants! Ambilis pa nila magbill, kung napansinin nyo advance ng 1 month sa date yung bill. Bayad na bago e-deliver yung service (w/c is non-existent na eversince)…

    Sa mga subscribers na di nakaka-experience ng ganitong bangungot - good for you. Pero hindi lang kami basta “unsatisfied” subscribers. Can’t you see, kami ay harap-harapang “ninanakawan”. We pay for a non-existent service. Pag di ka nagbayad…meron legal action na haharapin, kung willing ka umabot dun. At this point kahit 56kbps man lang ikatuwa ko na wag ko lang isipin na TAE naging kapalit ng pera ko!

    PS.
    I consider it a MIRACLE na nakapag-post ako dito. Kung alam nyo lang ilang oras ko inulit-ulit tyagain tong bwisit na koneksyon mai-post lang tong asar ko!

    Hey, mga guys!!! stop blaming Smartbro.. they always do their part para mapagsilbihan kayo.. puro kayo reklamo!!! Reklamo!!! ganyan kayo palagi!!! Lagi nyong isinisisi sa Smart bro ung problema nyo!!! Hnd naman kasi lahat actually acquire ung speed at minsan hnd talga namimeet.. at ska, alam nyo na palang wala na kaung connection, nagbabayad pa kau..eh di tanga kau.. bkit ako, 2 linggo ng wlang connection. pero hnd aq ngrereklamo..kasi kung uunahan kau ng galit, tlagang galit lang ang mapifeel nyo!!, intindhin ninyo, wireless yan.. mayroon talgang time na naglolost ang signal dahil sa ang basestation, power generated or electric generated din yan. kaya minsan pinapahinga din yan.. eh kung mag high voltage. eh di nasunugan pa kayo!!! ewan ko sa inyo..!!! Madaming subscriber ang nakakaranas ng magandang connection kaysa sa wlang connection. It depends yan sa signal ng location. Try nyo ring ipacheck ung computer nyo!!! At wag kayong mgsabi ng bobo at mga stupido ung smartbro!!! kasi wlang taong bobo tamad lang..!!! Isa pa..nghuhusga kayo ng tao, hnd ninyo kilala yung sinsabihan nyo ng ganyang salita!!! bka may mas pinagaralan pa sa inyo!!! Hay, ewan ko sa inyo!!
