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.

IF they were able to answer your question correctly, they wouldn't be stuck in a sales booth.

It would've been fun asking them to define what a browser is

I'm currently testing the Bayantel wireless. Overall, speed is great (they've got guaranteed speed) downside is their coverage. they have pretty decent coverage in the metro but outside the metro is another matter.

Maganda pakinggan. Actually nag-inquire na ako nyan at tinawagan din ako ng CSR ng Liberty for a demo.

Hesitant ako kasi base sa Wi-Tribe thread sa TPC forums, mukhang hindi pa tanggap at walang actual proof ang published speeds ng 4G.

What I did was nanghiram ako sa mga officemates ko ng Sun, Globe at Smart USB modems and them bring it home and use them and compare which would be faster.

In my area, Sun Broadband gives me the best signal and speed 1-2MBPS. Surprisingly my area is not within the Sun Broadband coverage according to their website

So, who would have thought that I can use Sun Broadband in my place? I'm probably a lone user in my area that's why I'm getting excellent signal and speed.

Nag inquire din ako sa WI-Tribe 4G, nagulat ako sa laki ng modem na may hiwalay na power supply, pakiramdam ko ay bumalik ako sa year 1980's na malalaki at malalapad ang mga modems

Yung BayanTel naman ang di ko lang gusto ay may holding period kahit binayaran mo na yung modem.

>napakaswerte mo naman.

smartbro ang malakas sa aming area pero proxy naman sila, ang sun hindi.

Pero sobrang laki naman, if my calculation is right ang sukat niya ay 10" x 6" x 2" and it has cradle that will make it upright on the table. Nag flash back tuloy ako sa era ng mga US Robotics, 3Com at ZyXel.

Nasa era na tayo ng thumb drive size modem at routers
