download speed is 41-50kbps using limewire and good or bad weather I tried it and I never had problems.

Right they used canopy for receiving the signal from the cell site, the tech told me that they actually upgraded it since before daw when it was smart wifi the range was only 3km(not sure) but when smart planned to expand their wireless internet service they changed to canopy which is twice the range of the old receiver, and he also told me that if smart upgrades it's service again the speed should be faster instead of the promised up to 384kbps or 394kbps speed, im optimistic that about a year or two they will upgrade their wireless service and if it happens I will be a happy camper.

I tried different bandwidth test, and it's not reliable lowest was 190kbps highest was 690kbps which I doubt?

actually im playing americas army and im not having any issues with the speed and as of now no lags.

I hope it continues that way.

swerte mo na man pre, i also use smartwifi and the base station is just 3 houses away from my house... kapitbahay ko yung base station... fast Dl sa limewire... 14kbps... sa ********... 10 hours for one movie na 600kbs...

**japeTadan** · August 24th, 2006 08:09 PM

Eh how about GLOBE dsl guyz, watchathink???
may 999 promo cla ngaun, hehehe...steal ba i2, 512kbps?

**boybi** · August 24th, 2006 08:19 PM

i switched from pldt dsl to smartwifi after almost 3 yrs with dsl (2yrs without any problems, then the last year, intermittent connections). so far, never had problems with smartwifi, even in the middle of a storm.

**vadvan** · August 24th, 2006 08:21 PM

honga ung globe may promo, mura pa ung 512kbps sa PLDT 2k+ na eh

**cutedoc** · August 24th, 2006 08:37 PM

OT: (sorry na highjack namin thread) Actually pumutol pa kami ng sanga ng pine tree para ma centre sa cellsite na pinaka malapit. nung una yung signal strength from 480-510 lang tapos nung naputol naging stable na 600-700, sabi naman nung nag install ang signal strength na recommended for them to install the service is 500 up. kapag lower than that sinasabi nila it's really up to the customer if he want's to continue with the service.

With your issue, did you try to check the signal strength, kasi baka kahit malapit yung basestation baka di naka tapat yung canopy receiver kaya di siya masyado mabilis, I think they saved the address link to check the signal strength when they installed the smartbro, when I click on the web address it routes to a canopy site where you can check the signal strength. kung ok naman signal strength, I saw some houses with smartbro na medyo mababa yung lugar what the installer did is gumamit sila ng dalawang tubo instead of one 500php yata yung charge para mai taas yung receiver kasi baka may interference or it's being blocked by the houses or trees, contact customer service para they can fix your issue asap.

Labo nga ng DSL minsan. PM niyo si afrasay baka matulungan niya kayo. Wife niya nag-assist sa application ko.

Ano ba talaga nakukuha nyo na download speed????

Kasi sa aking P 999 package na sabi ng PLDT ngaun e upgraded na to 512 Kilobits per second e nakaka download naman ako ng upto 40 Kilobytes per second...

From research 512Kilobits per second is equivalent to 64 kilobytes per second... sabi ng PLDT 60-80% utilization so 38-51 kilobytes per second dapat ang download speed.

Pero meron akong kaibigan bagong kabit ng DSL na P 999 package 100 Kilobytes per second palagi ang download speed...

Tingin ko swertihin lang talaga depende sa layo mo sa PLDT switch/station at pati na rin kung nasa old gen network o new gen network ka ng PLDT...

**jedi** · August 25th, 2006 03:05 AM

as of 2am today, im downloading a 30mb movie, between 60 to 70kbps download speed

**Elroi** · August 25th, 2006 03:28 AM

i agree na mabagal talaga customer service ng pldt..

right now, i'm getting an average of 350kbps on plan 999.. tested on pldt play..

**Elroi** · August 25th, 2006 03:39 AM

retest after 10 mins at pldt play again,

**RedHorse** · August 25th, 2006 08:06 AM

nag-apply ako sa pldt ng dsl... sagot ng kausap ko, di daw capable copper line namin, at kinabitan kami ng smart wifi... plan 1995.

then last month, nilagyan naman ako ng dsl thru our landline, at ang sabi ng installer, pioneer daw ako sa area namin regarding pldt-dsl NGN

since then, mas reliable na speed...

dipende rin naman ata bro minsan dun sa source nung pinag dodownloadan mo ehh! kahit mabilis nga internet mo ehh ehh naka dial-up lang ung pingag dodownloadan mo!
ako naka plan 2000 minsan speed ko sa limewire nasa 50-60 minsan naman 80-90! tas ilang beses narin nangyari sakin nung nag download ako ng isang full movie eh ang speed ko steady 200kbps sa limewire!

**jasprit** · August 25th, 2006 04:42 PM

yung sa bilis ng download alam nyo ba yung source na "ethernet" ang speed ko dyan 120-140kbps pero ang plan ko 788 lng smart wi-fi yng pinaka una pa nila pero mag normal na source around 25-30kbps gusto ko na nga mag upgrade eh yng 999 kaso ala pera :D

**russpogi** · August 25th, 2006 10:59 PM

ITO ang dahilan kung bakit di ako makapa-Tsikot!!! ARGH!!! :fire:

Had connection problems too with PLDTMyDSL for about 3 weeks already. They do call and sometime like magic, connection goes up for a day or two then gone again! &%$Q*(#&$%(#%$#%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :fire: :fire: :fire:

**Jun aka Pekto** · August 26th, 2006 12:46 AM

I tested my (cable broadband) connection out of curiosity. PLDT is still the slowest. Why? I'm not sure. Deliberate shackling of bandwidth, maybe?

2Wire= 6.38 Mbps/ 10 minutes later 6.88 Mbps
Globe= 1716.16 kbps
Bayantel= 834.21 kbps
PLDT= 769.9 kbps
DigitelOne= (4th lapse) 35178 kbits/sec
GreenDot= 1718 kbit/sec
Bell Telecoms= 155.2875 K/sec, 1242.3 kbps, 0.15 Mb/sec, 1.21 mbps

No go for Eastern Telecoms. Firefox's blocking it.
