PLDT has introduced a more affordable plan under their myBro fixed wireless internet services. A new PLDT myBro Plan 499 plan offers up to 512Kbps of WiMax service with a monthly bandwidth cap of only 3GB.
In June 2012, PLDT/Smart re-branded its fixed wireless residential internet service from SmartBro to myBro (originally Smart WiFi). The SmartBro brand now only covers mobile wireless services (Plug-It, Pocket WiFi, Rocket, Rocket WiFi).
During that time, they introduced two plans — a myBro Plan 799 with up to 512Kbps unlimited internet at Php799USD 14INR 1,154EUR 13CNY 99/month and a myBro Plan 999 with up to 1Mbps unlimited internet at Php999USD 17INR 1,443EUR 16CNY 124/month.
It looks like they have dropped the unlimited myBro Plan 799 and replaced it with a more affordable myBro Plan 499. The new myBro Plan 499 will still have speeds of up to 512Kbps but will be capped at 3GB. Once you reached the cap, you will be redirected to the myBro portal where you can buy more bandwidth.
The service plans comes with a WiMax Pocket Modem for single-user access only and you will be charged an additional Php100USD 2INR 144EUR 2CNY 12 a month for its amortization.
According to the myBro website, a 3GB cap will give you approximately 10,000 minutes visiting Facebook. That’s 166.7 hours or just a little under 7 straight days before you ran out of bandwidth.

Isa ka siguro sa mga freeloaders na laging tumatambay sa mall para maka higop ng libreng wi-fi. ….meron akong kilala linilibot ang mga wifi spots sa QC para hindi mahalata ng mga sekyu. Hahaha
Jam says:

BirdOfHermes says:
Nakakaubos pa naman ako nang 6GB Every day sa bandwidth sa Tablet ko lang Worth of HD Youtube Videos.(Using 1.5 MBPS Skycable, Usually getting 1.41-1.49 and sometimes above actual max speed)
BTW, I am not a couch potato @ 175lbs 15% Bodyfat so no, di pa ako todo babad niyan.
Sobra naman baba nang mga cap dito sa De Repablik of Da Pilipins… dapat na bandwidth natin nasa 32-256GB para maging very usable

Yow says:

512kbs. Lang ! e
For Sure . hndi pa nga aabot ng 512kbs yan e .
nag Promo pa kayo !
wala naman silbi !
abuzalzal says:
Yiiiikes! Wala talagang kakwenta kwenta kahit mura pa yan…3 GB isang araw ko lang yan….my goodness kelan kaya matirigil tong kuntsabahan ng Smart at Globe?? Sa ibang bansa pamura ng pamura ang bandwidth at data …dito sa Pinas ganun pa rin?
roy says:
This is great for non-heavy users like lolos and lolas, mom and dads who just wants to facetime or skype with their loved ones from time to time.
abuzalzal says:
Skype? Facetime? Lol. Matakaw sa data ang mga yan brad. …3 gigs baka isang kurap lang yan ubos kaagad. ….the best way to conserve 3 gigs is to use a data efficient browser like Opera Mini. …walang video call. …Viber pwede na rin siguro
roy says:
I know matakaw sila, sabi ko naman from time to time hindi yung 10 oras kada araw. Hindi naman lovers ang usapan. About 23.3 hours of Skype usage din yan (at recommended quality) and 54.61 hours kung lowest quality video call 128kbps (pero manageable). Better pa kung VOIP call lang.
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1417/how-much-bandwidth-does-skype-need
3GB = 3145728KB/(300kbps/8)/60sec/60min = 23.3hrs.
vince says:
malamang the 3 gig includes upload and download. My average is usually 40gig ul and 40 gig dl a month
JP says:
This would be *shrugs* okay if the lock-in period was six months or less; otherwise, even old people would find the cap to be severely crippling. A half day’s YouTube browsing alone can consume more than 3 gigabytes.
Tebats says:
Putang inang smart yan.
Jeric says:
2013 na po tayo ngayon dapat wala na yang mga 512kbps speed.. kahit mag facebook ka yan bagal na yan.
John says:
20 GB nga bitin na bitin na talaga nung nasa ibang bansa pa ako, 512 kbps din, sa Libya masgarapal doon, tsk… pero ganun din dito, atleast doon di napuputol ang signal dito pa wala wala pa… Intindihin nalang ang Telcos natin kuno, may pinagdadaanan daw,
Kitakits says:
Perfect plan to pra mamaximize ang kita ng smart. Perfect plan din to sa mga bobo d marunong mag math sa paggamit ng internet.

Nong November 25, 30 minutes ko ng tinotrouble shoot, hindi pa rin naaayos so i decided to call the hotline. wala daw akong signal so ineschedule ako for the field visit. November 26, 2-5:30 daw darating ung technician.naghintay ako gang 6,walang dumating so tumawag ako ulit sa hotline nila.sabi, tawag daw ako after an hour kasi may system enhancement daw sa kanila kaya hindi nila macheck ung account ko. so after two hours, tumawag ako…sabi,may inaayos daw sa base station nila kaya hindi tumuloy ung technician kasi andun daw sa base station, may inaayos. kinuha ung number ko dahil may magtetext daw sakin withinn 24 hours. ok, naghintay ako ng 24 hours, wala pa ring dumating.wala ding text. laging ganun…umabot ng 16 days, puro follow up…kuha ng number ko…hintay daw ako sa text ng technician….pumunta ako sa smartstore, wala ding nagawa…tinanong ko yong supervisor na nakausap ko sa smartstore kung ano ang gagawin nya kung sya ang nasa kalagayan ko.na hindi nakakapagtrabaho ng maayos dahil sa walang maayos na serbisyo ng network nila.give another chance daw….haist….
