    Hi there! I don't have any idea about the internet in Davao as I live here in Cebu. It really depends on the area you are at. But for me here, I live literally in the mountain and I am using the smartbro pocket wifi ( I have to hang it in my window to get the proper connection ) I pay 999 peps a month. it does work okay to my laptop, iPad and iPhone. Though sometimes it's a pain specially when it's windy and it rains but other than that it's okay to use.
    But when I get back to the city, pocket wifi there works fine, don't need to hang it in my window.

    We used to have a Smart dongle..
    I had to buy a 10 meter long cable to hoist it up a flagpole.. We put a plastic cup over the Dongle to protect it from the weather.. The signal was marginally better.
    More fun in the P.I..!!

    I use to put a long cable to my dongle before but it slows down my connection and can only use one device, so changed to pocket wifi.. Haha I use to climb at my daughters tree house just to get connection. More fun in P.I indeed

    That's exactly what my brother did first, having a long cable up to the rooftop, placed the dongle inside a plastic bottle...in one good year it worked but eventually the signal was getting weaker and weaker....

    I tried PLDT to look and assesses our area, but same as other internet providers, they declined because the strength of the signal is not very good.
