Smart Bro, Globe Broadband, PLDT myDSL

Looking Out for the Best Broadband Service

I STARTED my quest for the best broadband service that will connect me to the world wide web from our home. Turned out, I am not looking for the best but the ONLY broadband service I could avail of.

Whenever I go down to GenSan I always see to it that I can learn new information about setting up internet at home. There are a few choices I’m considering, PLDT myDSL, Smart Bro, and Globe Broadband. I procured brochures of these services and made a comparison using speed and price as bases.

I found Globe Broadband bundles attractive. They offer landline only, internet only, and broadband and landline bundles. For surfing speed up to 3 mbps, the price is only Php 1, 995.00. At the same price, you can also enjoy up to 2 mbps internet and Globe Landline.

I made up my mind on that only to know that Globe Broadband isn’t operating in our town yet. Here’s the message I received from them: “Gud AM, wla pa po kaming available na connection sa Alabel…” Too bad. PLDT myDSL isn’t operating here, too. The only one left is Smart Bro, which, if you Google it, dissatisfies many of its clients.

Well, I could settle with Smart Bro. They have this plan Php 999.00 for 384 kbps internet. It also comes with a 4gb imation flash drive for only Php 399.00. But I don’t need that flash drive; I already have 3gb of storage.

In the next few weeks, I hope, I will already be blogging from home. Pray for me.

	i’m using smart bro. it doesn’t suck that much. i tweaked mine and it got faster. and it’s the cheapest! unlimited access for only 999? ok na! haha. and don’t bother with PLDT. they suck. but according to friends Globe has the best so far. and that is because only a few people use it. if it gets popular like smart and with higher bandwidth requirements they’ll suck too. haha.

	Hi Sir Ayel,good luck on the broadband thing. I’m using Smartbro as well back in Cavite and if you will ask me kamusta ang service nila, I’ll give them 3 points for it. Meaning,hindi kagandahan…and I’m thinking of switching to Globe. Oh well, good luck! cors leonidass last blog post..Lost [Reply]

Smart bro is not too bad. During the Typhoon Milenyo, my friend’s Smart Bro connection didn’t go off unlike PLDT DSL

by the way, if you frequent yugatech.com, it has been reported that PLDT is the worst internet Service provider in the country. I’m just not sure about the details and what news body reported it but hey, here in Manila, it wasn’t a surprise.
