silvergreen Posted June 10, 2007 CID Share Posted June 10, 2007 Dear anyone, I'm a newbie.... I need your comment/suggestions... I'd like to avail smart bro plan 999, but I have no idea if the kbps is price worthy. Moreover, is it fast enough to view or upload streaming videos? Thanks!

Ieyasu Posted June 10, 2007 CID Share Posted June 10, 2007 hi silver green, if you have no other choice in your area then by all means go with smartbro. but plenty are having problems with it. like intermittent connections, and really bad customer service. but sometimes, it's quite fast. you'll be learning to tweak alot that's for sure hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvergreen Posted June 12, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 12, 2007 sometimes it's quite fast? Apparently, I really have no other option. Anyway, thanks leyasu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! all i can say if u dont have option for ur internet provider then go with it.. make sure to say to the installer that u want to have a good line of sight for the signal and make sure it is connected to the nearest possible base station. well if ur still not satisfied to the speed that ull get in smart u can try tweaks that is already posted in the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grift3r74 Posted August 25, 2007 CID Share Posted August 25, 2007 Were already too late. He applied for one and his average speed is around 50 kbps. I remember he's a macintosh user, so we cant really do a thing to help him back then. (Im a noob when it comes to macs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
