   SMART is TIED up with Motorola, and form I’ve gathered, almost ALL their networking equipment is provided by Motorola.

   Someone told me that each Canopy is worht around 50k, but SMART got a deal with Motorola to lower the price to 12k.

   Smart is TIED up with Marlboro, and from what I’ve gathered,
   Almost ALL their networking equipment is provided by Marlboro.

   Someone told me that each Pack is worth around P25, but Smart got a deal with Marlboro to lower the price to 12.50 cent per half pack.

   Very SMART indeed.

   Yes. Yes. Yes.

   Smart is using aluminum foils from cigarette packs in your antennas. So dont ever ask “why is my connection choking?”
   With SmartBro Wifi Fliptops Internet Experience is like a lung cancer, you’ll be gasping for air 3x faster than a Second Hand Connection. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

   I can’t really say if upgrading to the motorola canopy can help speed up or stabilize your connection. Heto ang itsura ng motorola canopy:

   or you can try google images.

   Yung iba nagrereklamo na bumagal daw connection nila afterwards. Ako canopy na kasi by default yung akin so I can’t say much.

   @hammer2k2:

   thanks for the info, and by the way after I reply to your post the Smart BRO called me and ask me about my connection and I grabbed the chance to ask them which is better SendFar of Motorola, and they told me that motorola canopy are for the subscribers who are near to the base station and SendFar are for the remote areas.

   thanks for the info,

   may I ask if you get disconnected using the Motorola Canopy???

   thanks again!!!

   Hi.

   Im using a Motorola canpoy and yes, I do get disconnected.
   But based on experience, the disconnection occurs at the base station to the DNS server so it’s their side.

   Using Sendfar of Motorola will not affect whether yuo get disconneced or not.

   That’s my opinion and observation

   im using canopy for our connection, so far it has been fine except for when it rains it really disconnects, like what happened last night (just when you needed the internet most) when the rain stopped still there was no connection, i just resorted to sleep my frustration away.

   try asking the people commisioned by smart who connects your wifi to change your antenna. the technical people in our city informed me that they are in the process of changing all the sendfar to canopy. when i applied fo wifi i was issued out with a canopy antenna.

    Yup, the problem is on their end not ours. Their so called “broadband” service just plainly sucks.
