This maybe of some help to someone...I have been using the Globe Dongle (895 Peso's, and 300 minutes free) and now I've changed to the Smart Dongle (995 peso's and 300 minutes free). On the Globe Internet, it cut off twice at the 100 peso's mark when I used it and would not let me go online anymore. The Smart one, twice cut off at 10 peso's and IS MUCH faster and better coverage, with none of the problems we found on the Globe one. Even in Limasawa the Smart was fine everytime we used it. Hope this helps, but each to their own...:)

We`re on Panglao island but where we live its still pretty desolate.. Even though we have a good signal,Smart wont give me a proper receiver so that I can avail of the unlimited service..No idea why but so Im stuck with the pay as you go wireless card..
Better than nothing I suppose.

it's ok Fred, dont throw it, i'll give it the misses to drink :vomit-smiley-011:

that reminds me of something, many years ago, i use to take to work about a pint of fresh orange juice to drink thru out the day, one day i left the plastic bottle which was still nearly full under my desk, about 6 months later, while cleaning my bench, i was just about to pick it up and it exploded :yikes:

:cwm24::Bricks:

for the last year, there been a 2 litres of orange under the misses side of the bed, :rolleyes: no luck they thou :NoNo:
