Bro,

Naa koy kaila sa Telco anang imohang gi-post. As per him, ang Smartbro would cover at the maximum of 1.5km from its base station. Mao daw na ang pinaka-effective and reliable distance. More than that, you may experience some slow down in your connection but quite negligible. Naay parameters ang mga tigtaud ana nga gi-follow. In most cases daw kay Line-of-sight ang prolema anang putol-putol nga connection. Unless daw kun mamugos ang subscriber or bolok ang tigtaud.

Before, the introductory product daw is Wifi. Daan to cya nga Antenna ang gigamit (kadtong sa Meridian pa nga company), unlike now of which they are deploying its new Motorola Canopy which is much reliable to the previous one. Mao nga ni subscribe ko. So far, so good ilaha serbisyo unlike before.

Bag-o lang pud nga info ako nadunggan, naa konoy Smart made reflector equipment that would cater up to 15km distance away from their base station. Much cheaper compared sa originally Motorola made reflector eqpt (php7,500.00 per unit) kay tag php 500.00 ra daw. One time fee lang walay labot sa installation fee (if ever wala na gi-wave nga no installation fee) and the one month advance pay out sa subscription.

Under kin technical and quality testing pa daw ang barato nga eqpt. So, what do you think mga bro?

For me, i'm contented with their service so far. I think, Smartbro (Smart Comm, inc firm) are trying hard to cater the willing public nga ganahan magka on-line.

Hope this info from a friend of mine would help other peoples innocent opinion.

Ok ra mga Bro and sis?

Kung naa moy friends nga layo sa base station (lets say 3km up to 15km) and would like to avail sa Smartbro service, this is the opportunity.

E-pm lang ko ninyo bro's and sis's with their full name, address and contact number.

E-refer lang nako sila sa ako migo. Then, ang Smartbro personnel na ang motawag nila.

Hoping nga ma-available next month kadtong reflector nga baratohon para daghan ang

malipay.

Pastilan ni ang Globelines. Finally, gikuha na nila ang akong router modem. Gituman na gyud intawon nila akong request for permanent disconnection. Gipabalik-balik gyud ko sa ilang business office. November 7 akong 1st request for disconnection unya wala tumana. Karon ipadayon na nako ang PLDT plan 888 (288 kbps DSL + free phone). Ang PLDT MyDSL nako on another location kay mo six days na karon with no single disconnection since gisuwayan na pud nako ug on ang computer 24 hrs a day.

BTW, unsaon pag post diri ug picture sa gi-log nga days connected?

Unsa kahay rason ngano gitago man sa PLDT ang plan 888 nila? Kabalo pa lang ko, wala na ko mokuha ug balik sa Globelines. Ok ra nako ang hinay basta dili dialup and reliably connected. I'm sure mo-double na pud na in a few months time. Dako gyud ako ma-save and to think naa pa koy free phone. 888 pesos monthly ra cya. Naa lay initial extra one time payment. I can afford the 1 time payment but not a big monthly payment.

[trashcan]

Has anyone ever wonder, why there is almost no Internet Cafe using Globelines? The one I know, reklamo gyud na bati kaayo compared sa PLDT.

I think a gikawat ani kay ang multipair cables dili ang submarine cable. lisud kawaton ang subcable kay naa ilalom sa dagat.
