Unsa na areas ang naay LTE diri sa Cebu?


MANILA, Philippines - Smart Communications, Inc. has announced it is expanding its 4G (fourth generation) network coverage, which runs on an LTE technology platform, to more locations in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, where tests are ongoing in Davao City.

Introduced last April in Boracay and its public demo in Metro Manila held last May, Smart’s LTE coverage now spans Metro Manila and Cebu City.

Actual speed tests indicate that the LTE, which stands for Long Term Evolution, can reach download speeds of up to 50 to 70 megabits per second, earning it the tag of the fastest 4G technology in the country today.

Smart Technology Group Head Rolando G. Peña reported, “We are upgrading our network as we speak and soon, our subscribers will be able to enjoy the breakneck speeds that LTE promises.”

Smart--which registered 46.6 million subscribers on its GSM network as of end-March--and parent company the Philippine Long Distance Co. (PLDT) have set aside P67 billion to modernize its network.

Recently, PLDT chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan PLDT will report a “better” second quarter performance compared to the same period last year. The company’s financial performance report is expected on August 2.

LTE uptake is projected in a recent study by market research and analysis firm In-Stat to grow 3,400 percent within the next four years amid a surge in public demand for smart devices and high-speed services.

That outlook is boosted by data from the General Services Administration (GSA) which recorded a 40-percent rise in the number of LTE-enabled gadgets in the United States from March to June 2011.

This comes as Smart reported it is improving the coverage of its Evolved High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA+) service, an upgrade of its standard High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology for faster 3G download speeds.

Such HSPA+ technology, said Smart officials, is available in major urban centers including Iloilo City in Visayas and Zamboanga City in Mindanao. Smart will bring in HSPA+ devices this July.

Ambot lang unsay support within cebu pero pag saturday mao ni gamit sa ilang tournament sa cyberzone SM.

I for one believe this is another product bound to fail. loslos kaayo pricing ani oiz! 3,500/month. nice ra unta diba? pero sugot mo after 10gb of data mana inyong 3,500? napa silay pina "In most international markets, LTE and 4G plans come with a hefty price of around $20 per gigagbyte. Smart LTE gives you more. Much, much more. For less." lolz!

Kung exceed namo sa 10gb/month, aw, bayad lang P450/gb gud. lami ayo noh? kusog gyud oiz! kusog suyop sa kwarta! mwahahahaha!

Worst? They are marketing this to "gamers". Good luck! kadaghan tag P5/hour diha nga internetan!

Oh where art thou brains be SMART? How can thee be "smart" yet so stupid? Oh well, even Microsoft who owns like 80% of the world's operating systems can't make their browsers right.
