[quote=Shirow Masamune]Oh wow.. is it that really slow? lol my friend is using it and its much faster than my dsl here lol[/quote] maybe it depends on the location but you know when we are in the first week of using smartbro it is faster than DSL i guess because it reaches 512kbps but after that until now our connection is almost down to 90kbps

[quote=Frazen]^ how did you get 512kbps? I thought SmartBro's 999 plan offers only 356kbps speed and I don't think wireless would beat cable/DSL in term of maximum connection speed. anyway yeah your right , smart bro sucks when your location doesn't have good signal. the only good thing on smart bro is You are given a static IP and if your location has good signal, you'll get almost a constant speed (320kbps-356kbps). not like most DSL, the rate plays between 500kbps-1000kbps (1mbps). I dunno why but I'm experiencing like that. (maybe because so many users sharing the ISP's bandwidth). so its good idea to change your ISP. in smartbro your paying 999 just for 356kbps while on globe and PLDT you get 1mbps w/ your 999. and hey you also get free printer(Lexmark) if you subscribe w/ globelines. Last edited by Frazen (Today 09:29:31)[/quote] yes it reached 512kbps because our basestation is also upgraded but unluckily our connection speed did not upgraded instead it downgraded

^ I agree but we are planning to switch to another wifi provider

[quote=dhen2x]^ my brother is installer of smartbro, and he said to me that the disconnection is because of tower of smartbro.. sometimes their fix some problems or updated the connection..[/quote] really.. after a year they do maintenance here but nothing happened... and the only solution we think is to switch to another wifi provider or cable internet if any.

^brownout? of course! coz you cannot surf or even use your pc when theres no power thanks anyways :idea:
