same here sir...subic ako sir. kakainis kailangan pa ilapit sa window lappy pero depende pa rin minsan full bar na but then intermitent pa rin ang signal.

O.T....
you can check your signal by pinging any site like yahoo.com. i know marami na nakakaalam nito but for those tsikoteers na hindi pa eto ung command.

-open your CMD or Command prompt.
-type ping yahoo.com -n 99999

-n 99999 is the number of echo request to send so it will take a while to stop the command from running. for good connection ung result should be tuloy tuloy na reply from 206.190.60.37 ............... then if intermitent may lalabas na REQUEST TIMEOUT. AFAIK, Average Time=Milliseconds for DSL is 250ms to 400ms...pag 1000+ms it means slow ang connection.

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.

SA cp internet lang to puede kung magba-browse ko using the internet of your cp. Sa smart puede rin but you have a 1php load. Dito ito nagbabawas ng load. This is not fishy, ploease read the forum at www.esato.com. Matagal na to.

Nakita ko lang sa newspaper. Check mo nalang sa Globe centers, need mo rin pumunta dun para i-apply yang promo.
Di ko pa natry, di pa ako makapunta sa Globe business center, maybe within the week pagmagbayad ako ng bills.

up ko lang to.

Im planning to buy a SBW Prepaid kit for my PC at home. I have a postpaid mobile account but I dont want to bundle. I also have a SmartBro prepaid and so far I have no problems with it. I just want to try it myself which one is better and has the best value in terms of performance. Yung rates/charges ng Sun kasi ay very tempting...

So I approached two booths in Galleria and handed me a flyer.I asked their two "sales talker"

with the same question: "What is your (SBW Prepaid) recommended web browser??
The one at Handyman booth answered: "aahh, browser? sir pwede kahit Windows 7!" The other one at ground floor booth answered: "ahh, sir kahit Pentium 4, tapos XP or Windows 7!..."

Nyeh. ganun... umalis na lang ako.
