as of now, im using smart broken. smart really sucks

so i want to change my internet connection as the expiration date of the freakin contract with smart bobo is on september 20th i think (yehey!! LOL

). sawa na kami really. even my dad is pissed off. there are times that its suuper fast. but after few weeks, it is down again and even sometimes no connection at all. is this what we get if we pay 999 a month? i dont thinks so

we called smart bobo about the probs. their team came in my house twice. the 1st time we complained is that they need to extend the range of the canopy. so i gave them a bamboo for temporary use. they fixed it on top of the roof. then its ok na, i tried to use the internet, its fast. but after few months, bumagal nanaman! i called again. the stupid lady in the desk blamed my PC for having viruses which makes the connection slow. im even using my new laptop and its even sloow!! pinaglitan ko na sya! so then, they went again to my house then said they have to extend AGAIN the canopy. now its already higher than before. the connection became fast but there are really times that no connection is available! even the time that i have to do some research for an assignment,there's no connection!! sawa na ako ayaw ko na ng smart broken. i tried to inquire in globe and bayantel but their lines cant reach my place. i kinda like the globe's deal but the wired cant reach my house and the wireless' signal cant reach my house too, the boundary is just about few meters from my house. how ironic

bayantel, it has not reached yet. i didnt have a chance to inquire at philcom dctech or any other broadband companies. whats the best here in cagayan de oro? and what's better, a wireless or a wired? thanks

do you know how to access your antenna? you can fix it yourself if you can. though sometimes the server is really down or worst, your place is heavily used with other smartbiro users.

grrr... never liked their desk support. had an argument/umi-init ang usapan with them but I'm always lost for words in english kaya talo ako.

pardon my english, I mean access it by your Internet Explorer or firefox and see how's your signal doing.

anyways, my friend use Philcom 512kbps, and he is satisfied with the speed, but he suffers a lot more downs than my smartbiro.

there is globlelines for 768Kbps I think, and Globe for 512-768kbps
I'm interested on Globe... but I don't have any idea what hardware do they use.

sorry for the late reply. well as said by ruelsdc, globe daw uses a router-like thingy na may antennae. you can bring it anywhere as long as may signal. its multi directional, not like smart's single direction only. i like it but the signal doesn't reach my house.

yeah i understand, accesing the canopy throught the browser. i dont know how

but just an update, since they interchanged the tv antennae's tubo (which is longer) and the canopy's original antennae, im getting good speeds na. *******s ko is 40kbps dl na.. whew
