NTC test shows congestion between Smart, Digitel

**BlueBimmer** · April 13th, 2005 06:51 PM

is there some kind of log to check for deliberate blocking? un lng maisip ko to trace up those blocked calls

There is kaso mo di naman nila ipagkanulo sarili nila he he he... Saka sa equipment lang nila ang history noon sa kabilang side ang alam mo lang madami nang que outgoing mo papunta sa kanila yun lang. Yung ibang equipment nga puwede pang burahin history or alarm events. (Di ako taga Smart or Globe ha

If it is not properly optimized, this will cause congestion, channel blocking, etc. For a fact, a sector of a site can handle simultaneous calls in a given time.

silver corolla hit the mark. hands down ako...he sure knows his stuff

pero i really doubt if there are deliberate blocking involved. in the first place, why will Smart do that? tsaka ang hirap i-prove nun, unless yung magiinspect eh knowledgable dun sa mismong equipment and software na ginagamit ng smart.

is 1900 bandwidth available in the Phils? As far as i know, only 1800/900 are available here.

Mazda2: ano ba bandwidth ninyo?

for those who believe that smart is not doing the blocking...read again the news, particularly the time of the test and how they did it. playing safe lang magsalita ang mga taga NTC which i don't know why. it's really a bullsh!t the agency that was tasked to control the national telecommuincation has nothing to do with what smart has been doing.

there was actually a test also done by the same group (sun to globe) and it showed that the success of call is more than 90% (i also read this from the inquirer news)

you don't have actually to read NTC's tests just to believe what sun has been complaining. i did so many tests myself by making a number of miss calls to smart numbers versus calling to globe and it prove not only once, not only twice...not only 10x that smart is really blocking the calls from sun to the smart subscribers.

ako nga hirap tumawag sa mga smart subscribers. minsan talaga give up ako. pero sa mga globe subscribers wala akong problema.

Strategy yan ng pldt...remember ginamit nila yan against Bayantel...ngayon using the same strategy in smart against Sun.

unfair masyado smart, cla na nga leading telecom dto swapang pa tsktsk

yup. 900/1800 ang Globe and Smart. Sun is on 900/1900. so if your phone is dual band (900/1800), pag naka sun ka, ang gagamitin lang nya is yung 900. that explains for example why in malls, mahina signal mo. but if your phone is a triband unit, ubra lahat. (900/1800/1900).
