Smart bro plug it anywhere gets cheaper
Just last month, Yugatech blogged about Globe’s Visibility going prepaid and now P4,500.
After a month, Smart Bro’s portable USB plug-it anywhere goes cheaper.
Now its down to P3,800
But i think its still expensive..
Currently, i only use my phones as modem every weekend. And the only time i’ll use it not on a weekend is if I’m in Manila for a vacation.
P20.00 per hour x say 8 hours x 2 (Saturday and Sunday) = P320 per week (ouch!) Times 4 weeks = P1,280.00. That’s how much I spend to be online if i’m not at work.
Then i just bought a Duplii. To hold my Smart and Umobile Sims. And so far, Duplii has this function to automatically charge the phone while plugged in on my laptop. Nice huh?
If smart bro goes down to about 1,500… then i MIGHT buy it!
So is there anyone willing to sell their smart bro for P1,500 or less?

It is quite expensive isn’t it? Especially since I think ther e is a fixed number of hours per month. I use Smart Bro (not the mobile one) at home and was satisfied for the first 11 months. Now, I am only getting 33kbps at the most! And their tech couldn’t fix it…Time to go wired I think. PLDT or Globe? What do you think?

hey Migs, I was at Megamall yesterday and saw Globe’s offer for their mobile Internet for 1495 – unlimited. You might want to check that out.

Hi Noemi..
medyo deceiving yung advertisement na yun ng globe.. yung UNLIMITED is wi-fi.. and they connect thru globe wiz.
meaning pag yung isang hotspot naka globe wiz, free sayo as a globe visibility user. pero under normal connection – 3g/hsdpa, 100 hours lang free niya for the month. =>
And so far, yung sa mobile phone internet browsing nila panget pa… kasi laging napuputol!

ha ha ha…last na sa Globe. Nakuha ko na yung bundle nila na landline plus DSL, 1295 lang up to 1MBPS. Pwede na yun, sana lang ok ang service. Once pumunta sila to install, bye bye Smart Bro na ako. (Super na bad trip ako sa Smart kasi.)
