I'm using sun, no issues with it except limited coverage. Di pwede dalhin sa bora.

i'm using both globe and sun.

ang hindi lang maganda sa globe, ang mahal ng rates.

sa sun naman, ok yung rates kasi 50php/ day unlimited na. kaso ang hina ng signal. kahit nasa school na ko (somewhere in Manila), ang hina pa rin. may times na sa corridor lang may signal.

So expect slower than normal download speeds and occasional times when the connection doesn't respond at all due to the connection "hand-over" between signal towers.

Of course, if you stop and use your wireless internet, it should have normal speeds and service.

sir gh, guess we'll just keep on stopping when we need to have a good connection. hays, kelan pa kaya tayo magkakaroon nag seamless connection anywhere, anytime..

It's not really Globe, Smart or SUN's fault. It is the nature of 3G/2G cellular technology. The connection "hand-over" between cell cites is acceptable and smooth when one is moving at a walking pace but becomes a little problematic when you are moving faster like in a car or train.

just bought smart bro today. tested it in my wife's car on a long highway drive. tama ka nga sir gh, connection tends to be interrupted esp. on areas with lots of trees etc. But we're satisfied na din.

Found this on another web-forum...

Since we're not getting tech support from SMART on our antenna woes, using our Globe Tattoo connected straight to a wireless router.

Know what? Except for the fact that Globe "cheats" with JPGs, GIFs and PNGs by downscaling them for faster response time, speed is actually quicker than our home SmartBro... downloading multi-meg files isn't DSL fast, but it's pretty quick, and I'm up to twenty-tab browsing again.

A far cry from the poor service and performance that made me drop my (f**king expensive) previous Globe Tattoo line... maybe it's time to reapply under their new 1200 peso unlimited plan. Another factor pushing me in this direction is the difficulty in getting SMART service support for the permanent wireless antenna... a stupider and less user-friendly 24-hour call-in service I have not had the displeasure to use. One wrong keystroke and the system cancels your call. WTF!

i believe it would depend onthe area. i have a smart bro and its ok here in marikina, pero sa San JOse delmonte bulacan, wla signal sa loob ng bahay. donka dapat sa labas para me signal.

then i unlock my smart bro usb dongle. i have tried globe tatoo dito sa marikina. walang silbi! bagal pa sa dial up.
i tested sun here in marikina, comparable sya sa smart bro sa bilis.

by next week i-try ko sun and globe sa bulacan.

kaya advantageous 3 sim mo. para kung ano malakas, yon gagamitin
