    600kbps? Enjoy yan ah. I use SmartBro din pero the average transfer rate I get is about 90kbps lang, depends on the site din kasi.

    Btw, you can also ask SmartBro to re-calibrate your canopy to get the maximum signal strength.

    Really? is that done through phone? or a technician has to come to my house to do that?

    Pang-claro lang. Technology terms like these very important ang capitalization.

    600kB/s = 4800kbps (4.8Mbps)

    kBps is kilobytes per second (how your browser measures dl speed)
    kbps is kilobits per second (how your isp measures your speed)

    1kBps = 8kbps

    OP's warp speed was actually 4.8Mbps! That's super fast, talo mo pa ang T1/E1 connection.

    *boybi
    I think you meant 1Mbps, unless you were getting 1 millibit per second (about 1kbps, think modems circa 1980s) during that time.
    OTOH marami atang PLDT subscribers na nakakatikim ng millibit speeds.

    Ok ba yun Globe Broadband 995 (line + broadband up to 384kbps). Worried ako doon sa term 'UP TO'. Wala bang guaranteed CIR itong mga ito?

    Yes, I was thinking 384kbps, but their ad here in our Village is indeed 768kbps......Well...

    Normally wala talagang CIR unless you subscribe to a business plan.

    I'd be happy with that. However, my DumbBro connection is down for the past 3 days.

    Real strange, because a SmartBro representative called me up over the weekend to arrange a meeting to solicit opinion/input on how they can improve their service (I think in the face of GlobeLines offering 768KBPS and telephone line all in for P995 per month).......

    The next day, Smart/DumbBro went down on me.....
