No Broadband

[Alan]

Hi guys.

As the title suggests, I do not have Internet access at the moment, apart from one of those Glode Roaming Broadband Stick things which is, frankly, useless.

It has taken about 20 mins for this page to load up.

Anyone know of a good BB provider here in Cebu? Smart, Globe and PLDT are all c**p?

Yours for a beer,

Glode??????????????

I use smart broadband back home and my internet connection was quick and uninterrupted while a few of my friends has been complaining that they have very bad connection using globe broadband. I hope that helps.

[estherboaz]

I agree.Smartbro connects fast.

we are using pldt dsl.. but sometimes, it got sector problems:doh i dont know all this I.T. things, But i try to be online when I think people are not using much of internet- say.. early in the morning or late at night, or lunch time. Some of my friends uses Smartbro and its works well too.

I'm using pldt dsl. I can download a 2Gig game in less than 20mins. I can watch streaming videos without pauses. That is fast enough for me. :D

I hear that skycable broadband is best so far.

:dohThat's slow...!!!!!!!!:doh

:dohThat's slow...!!!!!!!!:doh

For UK standard, yeah. But we live in a 3rd world country, we can't have better than that right now. :Rasp: :D

:dohThat's slow...!!!!!!!!:doh

Possibly faster than many UK households actually get unless they have fibre or live on top of the Exchange.

I know many people domestic and professional who can get good test results but in real everyday use get nothing like the performance 24/7:NoNo:


I know a few years back the missus when in phill had a fairly low advertised rate but was actually not bad in real everyday use.

I cant even get a 56k connection where I am...I would go wireless but the Smart tower is so far away I can barely get a signal... Nightmare.

dial up :Brick: I guess diffrent where you are located and the service
given.

we have a cable package in cagayan its expensive for what it is and its so slow it lets us chat on ym we can do a little file sharing but i am afraid thats what it is there at the moment :NoNo::doh :Help1:

[Alan]

Thanks for all your advice guys.

I wanna sell you a Tory...........sorry..........tell you a story! :doh

Yesterday afternoon went to SM - Smart - ordered Broadband. This morning - men came - installed - brill!!!

Credit where it's due, Smart came and installed my Broadband in less than 24 hours. Great service!!

By the way, why do they call it an occasional table when it's ALWAYS there???
