Wireless Broadband provider, who gives the best overall deal?

**ghosthunter** · April 20th, 2009 12:20 AM

I am looking for a wireless broadband provider. Looking for a PRE-PAID solution.

Currently the ones I know are:

Globe
Smart
SUN

Suggestions and comments are welcome.

i tried all 3 (borrowed from friends) from feb to march.

ended up getting sun postpaid. i think there shouldn't be too much of a difference between post and prepaid.

ortigas and fort area sun is giving me a pretty consistent signal, in fact when i get to higher floors minsan siya lang ang may signal.

con: terrible for *******s.

well, with pre-paid, the length of time before the "load" expires is important. With some providers, the load expires within 3 days. Others have a load amount that will last 60 days.

Given I don't plan to use this everyday, having a longer expiry is a definite advantage. For my "normal" access, I have the DSL connection at the office and at my home.

Similar experience when I used the SUN 3.5G broadband at Boni High Street. I was at Stabucks in Fully Booked and my connection was stable for the two hours I was there.

con: terrible for *******s.

I have read about that in PhilMUG forum thread regarding 3G/3.5G wireless broadband providers.

I'm also very curious about this.

Dito sa amin walang kwenta ang Globe wireless. Very intermittent ang conn and incosistent din ang speed. Ewan ko lang diyan sa inyong area.

I am currently using my postpaid Globe account to connect to the web. The office internet is down.

My netbook is connected via bluetooth to my Nokia 3G phone. Not that fast because my fone is 3G... not 3.5G... otherwise, its going well.

P5/15mins rate ...

Yap!, kahit walang load puede ka magbrowse sa internet ng cp mo.

With regards to question #2, ano line mo, globe ka ba? Yun sakin kase globe na prepaid , manually configuration setting yung ginawa ko sa PC, pag postpaid ang alam ko wala ng settings yun automatic na yun sa PC kasi when I have my postpaid na suncellular na sim, wala na akong ginawang settings. Pag smart di ko kabisado, globe user kami lahat sa bahay, dyan lang kita matulungan.
