Misfortunes of Smart Wifi and Smart Bro Customers
Smart Bro subscribers will soon be treated to an upgrade as wireless leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) introduces the Smart Bro Power Plug It. Sporting a new user interface, the Power Plug It not only provides a better and easier Internet surfing experience, but also allows subscribers to send text messages and make phone calls via the revamped services menu.
“The Smart Bro Power Plug It is a true plug-and-play device,” said Danilo J. Mojica, head of Smart’s Wireless Consumer Division. “All it requires from the user is to follow the one step installation instruction and they’re good to go.”

The user interface is the jump-off point to all the features and services of Smart Bro Power Plug It. At the top of the home screen is the subscriber’s unique Smart Bro mobile identification number (MIN) and below it are the remaining balance and connection time indicators. With instant information on load and usage times, users will be able to manage their budget as they surf.
At the center is the promo alerts screen, which allows users to instantly avail of ongoing promos with just a click of the mouse.
The new user interface also features an icon bar at the bottom which houses the home, text, and settings buttons and the new voice call and Subscriber Corner features.
The Subscriber Corner is a one-stop shop for Smart Bro’s latest promos and data packages. Here, users can choose from either sachet or UNLIsurf packages or avail of daily free text messages powered by ChikkaTM.
Your PC is a mobile phone
With the Smart Bro Power Plug It, any computer can instantly become a mobile phone. Simply click on the phone button on the menu and users can make voice calls just like they would on voice messenger applications. Similarly, users can also send text messages to their friends as if they’re chatting with them online.
New subscribers can avail of the Smart Bro Power Plug It kit for P1,245 (with free 120 hours worth of load valid for 5 days) at any Smart Wireless Center nationwide. Existing Smart Bro Plug It users, meanwhile, can have their sticks updated via software download.

parang walang speed indicator sa interface, hehehe. ayaw ipakita kung gaano kabagal ang smartbro
that sample image of the UI is so different than mine, the upper for number and load balance and timer never showed up, just blank, and when i received message, it doesnt show, only message tone is heard.
Sabi sa brochure nila, “Be among the 2 million subscribers who are now enjoying the right broadband nationwide!”
ENJOYING?
Ang feeling ko i am among the 2 million who are sharing 2mbps!
uu nga! 2 mbps divided by 2 million users! tsaka na lang makaka 2 mbps pag iisa kang nakaonline

this new smart bro is a big big shit!
KAILANGAN PA BANG MAY PASABUGING PROPERTY O SAKTANG VIP NG SMART PARA SILA’Y MAGTINO?
Call Customer Service and they will, someday, get the other 5 days to you.
“Page Cannot Be Displayed” in upper and lower windows of the interface so no way to know your balance, plan, etc.
No Inbox icon, so you cannot see your text messages – only hear “bird chirp” when they arrive. So, no way to know if your subscription was activated, verify for Smart’s Web Access, or anything else where you need to receive text messages.
Called their support and they don’t know how to fix any of this – just let you use lots of minutes on your phone on hold and doing the obvious things that don’t work.
I’m trying Globe next. P220 for 5 days, but maybe it works better than the 120Kbps I get from SmartBro.
this week ni minsan di ako nakakumpleto ng 30 minutes. on-off on-off ang connection.
Older model yung plugit ko. Madalas na nangyari sa’kin yung ok siya for the 1st few minutes and then wala nang maopen na site hanggang expired na yung 30 minutes. Pag sinubukan ko after that, meron naman, bawas load ulit, tapos ng ilang minutes no connection na naman.
so slow and connection frequently interrupted, couldn’t even download a mere 10mb antivirus update
grabe! just like globe! 10bps!
grabe 3.6mbs d nga ko maka 50kbs wla ba to refund…
consistently slow
sa daming beses sila nag-enhance ng system nila wala namang ibinilis. anong inenhance nila? yung sistema ng pandaraya?
parang prinogram na magcycle ng ganito:
X: for 1 minute – 1mbps and above
Y: for 3 minutes – 10bps to 100kbps
Z: for 2 minutes – 0bps
back to X
i often experience getting disconnected right after i connect. ni di ko pa na-open yung browser nagdisconnect na. and then after 5 minutes or more na siya makakaconnect
kanina lang yung 1st 10 minutes ko, every minute ako nadisconnect
pagka-open lang ng yahoo page nag-0bps na ng pagkatagal-tagal
BAKIT LAGI NANG DI MAKAKONEK BANDANG 1PM TO 3PM?
over sa bagal ang plug it mula pa december
wala namang power ang plug it. below 100kbps, 3g mode na yan
Pinakamataas na naabot ng plug it ko is 500kbps at ilang beses lang yun. Mostly hanggang 150kbps lang, mabagal i-load yung kahit kokonting graphics na site.
10:35pm 1 minute after i connected, nadisconnect ako. I tried connecting for 20 minutes but was unsuccessful. Off muna ang computer. 11:25 try ulit, nakaconnect, nadisconnect, connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect… PUTA! 11:40 ok na. 11:57 nadisconnect, connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect, connect… WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!!!!!
happy fucking chinese new year
FUCK! SHIT! 7MB LANG NA FILE DI PA MADOWNLOAD!
WAG KAYO KUKUHA! NAPAKABAGAL. THIS IS A BIIIIIG HOAX!
bakit nakakavideo chat sa postpaid, pero sa prepaid, loading lang ng page nahihirapan na?
Kakokonekt at kakli-click ko pa ang firefox pero bigla na lang akong natatae kaya nag-CR muna. Pagbalik ko di pa nakumpletong naload ang yahoo
Guys why not get a Globe broadband – totally hackable – FREE INTERNET! Just Google!
