After a 2 weeks of gruesome exchange of words with smartbro's tech support & CS, they finally managed to accept the fact that their basestation is the problem, after two days of waiting, they've fixed the BS. And here's my result. :::..

Smartbro"LOK" is giving a headache again. From what used to be a great speed for me for a month and a half at 430+kbps, it dropped to 60+ to 90+ kbps for a week now. Called CS already though it's a waste of time, as usual the same sound of base station problem. F**k them! I'm from laguna.

I think Smartrbro uses the stupid WAN property... wherein all of us smartbro users on each base station (ap) is linked via an ip address... meaning we're just like in a computer shop sharing one connection. That's why when you download and another smartbro subscriber coming from the same vicinity as you are is already DL'ing a file, you can't access anymore.

Coolbuster is right... smartbro's CS is useless! They are just a bunch of yadda yadda person that follows a certain script for every customer that called, then they put you on hold if the question being raised is not in their scripts... STUPID sonafabitches!@! My experience was this... first time I called up CS... it took me 10 minutes before someone had answered.. then I noticed that the CS that took my call was speaking garbled words, seems a novice, esp. when I get furious by saying that the problem after checking with their blah blah blah... my base station is running fine, my PC is the one which had a problem, better check my lan card, blah blah blah... then I said my PC is not the problem I can vouch for that since I'm a PC tech myself, so what the hell are you saying that the culprit is my PC... she put me on hold stating just hold on for a minute while she checks my connection... and I've waited for almost 20 f**king minutes and still no answer... beig so furious listening to their unending music...I just shouted TO HELL with your CS, coz I know it's recorded! I've fixed it myself by climbing on the roof and searched for a better AP.

The power of your canopy is too high... having a -43dbm. Try setting your power from normal to low... this will give you power at around -60dbm.

Why risky? It's been working for me... I've tried before the canopy override plug but I grew tired of always climbing in our roof just to make some changes in my settings... IMHO it's the other way around, it's risky getting up on your roof...
