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...

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

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.
