Mukang mas ok to. Need ko na lng ng review from others kung ok to keysa dun sa smart prepaid broadband. Buti na lang di pa ko nakabili nung smart bro prepaid.

Same here, no 3G signal here. Lingayen, Pangasinan

Hi YUGA,

Ask ko lang ko merong USB type wireless router na puede ikabit sa 3G wireless broadband ng SUN.

Recently, SUN offered unlimited internet service for only 799.00 mas maganda n nagyun yung offer nila and it comes with 2mbps speed.

hi, i think the above plans were already changed, kasi nung kumuha ako sa sun shop sa robinsons pioneer they only offer 2 plans lang, 1st one is the 799 a month unlimited and the 2nd is same unlimited time and speed with the 1st plan pero bundled with a phone with 300 na monthly plan. weird pero as of today im ok with the internet service. i have my personal review here http://kndsmarcelino.com/blog/2008/sun-cellular-broadband/

knds

pede b mgamit s router yn?rj45 kc ung connector nun kelangan pb ng adapter? female usb to male rj45 adapter?

unlimited na po ngaun ang lahat ng plans ng sun broadband wireless.

BKET PO WEAK UNG SIGNAL D2 SKEN 2ND FLR. N PO NKALAGAY UNG USB?

umm this is my experience so far, ‘got this sun broadband nitong january ’09 and nung simula ok naman 200kbps something speed and umaabot ang signal ko ng 3 bars or sometimes full (HSDPA connection lang ako).. ok na sana to sa akin, kaso every week bumababa na ngaun around 80-120kbps na lang..lalo n kapag around 7pm to 11pm sobrang baba na. pero kapag madaling araw 400kbps kaya p nya (speed test from http://www.2wire.com) and napansin ko ngaun n parang every hour bigla ma di-disconnect and you need to reconnect/reset your sun broadband again, before 1st month ko halos hindi nadi2sconnect ngaun n lang naging ganito, i cant download overnight na ng tuloy2.. even tho i payed 3000+ initialy for my plan (somewhere in alabang ang location ko)

Same issue also, though I live in QC. The first months that I’ve used sun ok naman. Kaso, lately (around Feb), madalas nga siyang magdisconnect, almost every 1-2hrs disconnected or connected pa rin pero ayaw na gumana ng internet/downloads. I reported it to Sun but they just said they’ll look into it, pero as of now they haven’t found the root cause. If this persists, it might be better to go back to PLDT.

Same here.. I just got my sun broadband last 24th of this month, but I started using it yesterday. Ok nmn nung dinemo sken nung agent dito samin ung connection (Evanghelista, Makati) , actually I was very impressed about it. Then i noticed this morning na palagi ako na didisconnect, i have to re-connect thru their software, at first I thought na didisconnect sya automatically kapag inactive ung laptop ko, meaning there’s no activity or browsing going on… so I thought ok lang, baka ganun talaga, pero just an hour ago it is happening eventhough im doing work on my laptop. I actually bought sun sim pa just for me to check it with their techsupport, but I’ll just do it tomorrow ksi its late na, kaya eto, I end up pulling up this page ksi i’m trying to check whether there’s a quick fix for it or its a known issue.. anyway i hope they can do something about it soon..

..hay.. ..kung mahina sa makati, paano pa sa parañaque..?!

..baka globe na lang..

wonder when they will come up with a prepaid one. To be locked up for 1 year is kinda scary.

which broadband internet service can you recommend for baguio city area?

On Sun cellular’s fair usage policy, would anyone know exactly the download limit per month?

thanks.

Hi Yuga,

Am targetting to subscribe to one of the plan of sun broadand wireless plan which is up to 2Mbps, can anyone tell me what is its lowest speed? and can anyone vouch that broadband is easily accessible & dependable (in downlaoding) than DSL?

Regards,

My wife already tried using wireless service from both Globe and smart. Much to my disappointment Globe only used for a month then no more signal. While Smart slower than a snail’s pace. So dont get your hope’s up.

Hi to all if you have concern or inquiries about Sun Broadband Wireless related to products or technical issues feel free to post a comment or send email at sbwteamleader.smnorth****@****.*** i will make reply as soon as i read it. >>>This is your techmaster from North Edsa Branch

TECHMASTER question here…Im have SBW unlimited plan 799…Im fully aware that you guys implement FUP(FAIR USAGE POLICY)in your service…Just want to know whats the exact alloted Gigabytes that we are allowed to used within a month….CSR me sa T-mobile uk account, fair use policy samin is 3G..Plz paki verify naman po..tnx

if you can put your location whenever you give comments here, that would be a lot better.. im from makati kasi and im planning to buy sun broadband (649 plan). But Im still doing some research para hindi naman masayang yung pagbili ko. I was reading the reviews here kaya lang walang mga mga nagmention ng locations kaya hindi ko rin ma-assess..

-thanks!

joy.. and to anyone there wanting to see a fair review.. well.. you’re doing the right thing now…

im here in las pinas… which is yeah..like the very part of metro manila… and how does a 4.0 mbps real fast surfing the net sound to you????

i got its little plug it thing..subscribed to its unlimited promo.. and to tell ya… ive never done such a right decision before. im throwing my smartbro.

Sun Broadband is a crap! Basura! 0.00 kbps most of the time.

My other frind’s connections from other networks are much much faster.

hi sun broadband din ang gamit ko.. okay naman ang signal sa area namin, constant din ang connection and speedtest.net confirms it pero bakit kaya hindi nagtratranslate sa download speed sa bittorrent client ko? speedtest.net says that dl speed has up to 2 Mbps but the dl speed that my bittorrent client gets is only 10 kbps.. help naman..

SBW prepaid ay mas mabilis compare sa SBW unlimited…nga lng…minsan nag ddown ung connection…ung prepaid umaabot 200kbp sa torrent and direct download ung unlimited..aw nde man lng umabot ng 50kbps sa torrent and direct download speedtest.net damn its half a 1mbps wahehehehe weirddddddddddd

ask ko lng bakit pag ngcoconect ako merong message n ngpop-up… error 619: a connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed.

anu kya problem.. can somebody help me.

Good morning!

Paki-try nyo empty yung windows temp table:
1. Click Start, click Run, type %temp% in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the Edit menu, click Select All.
3. On the File menu, click Delete.
4. Click Yes when you receive the following message:
– Are you sure you want to send these items to the Recycle Bin?
5. Verify if this resolves the issue.

Nagsubscribe ako sa sun 799 Unlimited. I paid the router also. nung first days ng subscription OK naman. I only have 1 laptop and 1 desktop sharing sa WIFI. nakalock ang wifi so that means ako lang nakakagamit. Pero after a week of usage, madalas magdrop ang download speed ko sa 10kbps. Tapos ang bagal magsurf ng mga sites. Even my blog takes 3 to 5 minutes.

i have Windows XP Professional in my desktop and Ubuntu in my Laptop. I am located sa MegaPlaza Ortigas Center.

Anyone who can give me tips to have a faster connection? i am not a Youtube fun or any online streaming things. I am a web designer and all i do is code, surf and upload my projects.

Note: first 2 weeks, I always have wcdma but after that, all I have is HSDPA and that connection gives me 40kbps maximum.

Sana magtuloy-tuloy pa yung magandang serbisyou ng Sun Super bilis ng Connection umaabot sya ng 3.6mbbps
astig sana punuan nila ng 3g site sa buong metro manila para maka-avail din yung mga friends ko ng murang internet at bilis more power sa inyo Love you all

sa lahat nang nka globe at smart bayan tell pldt na internet lumipat na kayo sa Sun Broadband P1000 ang monthly nya internet at Landline phone astig!!!!!!!!

is anyone experiencing connection dropouts every 5 seconds with sun broadband ngayon?

every now and then kinokonek ko yung broadband ko kasi wala pang 5 seconds dc na agad! nakakabwisit.. ok naman sya since a month ago. yesterday lang siya ngkaganito. ano po kaya ang problema? wala naman naiba sa lahat ng settings ng pc.

ang bagal naman isa lang pinapanood ko narutowire lang inabot ako ng 4hrs for 29min of video. ano ba naman yan.

ano ba naman to……… 0.00 kbps lagi. sobrang bagal…….

my maintenance ba lagi ang swb? bkit habang tumatagal bumabagal ang connection ko.. 4 wiks ko plang nagagamit..

tang inang globe yan scammer sila sinisingil nila ako sa monthly ng globe eh matagal ko nang pinaputol yun Nobyembre pa ng 2009. tapos tatawagan ako sa bahay may bill daw kaming aabot sa 3k wala man lang padalang sulat samin amputa, ibang klase din pala kayo mang scam ng costumer nyo tapos my hidden charge pa kayo, eh hinde ko naman napakinabangan yung internet ninyo, eh lahat ng browser ko hinde ko mabuksan

sun cellural broadband sucks! sobrang bagal!

Tae yun SUN Broadband wireless. Dahil sa FUP (Fair Usage Policy). Wla sila full details nito. Mabagal cya pag peak hours. In short kontrolado ang bandwith mo. Di mo ma attain yun 2mbps kahit malakas ang signal. Kung mahilig k sa online games, streaming at torrent. Gud luck.

atsaka mlkas ba ung speed ng globe d2 sa marikina sta.elena??lark street?????plsss asnwer….balak ku kc kumuha ng plan 1999 ung 2mbps na may telepono…..atsaka pag may record kba sa globe makaka aply ka paren????kc alam ku bago na may ari ng globe eh….

lately, I encountered same problem too. It disconnects so often. I have to re-connect again and again.

it is amusing to see how, from 2008 to 2010, happy customers gradually became disgruntled customers for sun broadband wireless.

i suspect it is because sun got more and more subscribers (thanks to their aggressive marketing, but didn’t maintain their quality of service by upgrading their infrastructure and widening the virtual highway where our bandwidth relies on.

and so here are we now, hapless victims airing our complaints, apparently on the deaf ears of sun.

word of advice for those considering sun broadband: listen to the horror stories above.

PUTANG INANG YAN! WALANG SILBI SUN!

In our are sun is doing well I must say sun is OK. I have here an additional testing with regards to
Sun wireless broadband and Globe broadband tattoo , which is better? kindly check it out.

Sa area namin ok din ang Sun. swertihan lang din talaga. malakas sa kwarto mahina sa kusina. pero sino naman ang gustong mag laptop sa dining right? pwede narin. sana meron silang load na unlimited na hindi pa isa isang araw lang.

hello sino gusto mag pa unlock ng usb niya jan na naka lock sa iisang broadband ung huawei usb lang ah not other brands! just post ur imei # here il give codes for u to unlock that locked usb broadband

A friend of mine who happens to be an agent of Sun Cellular recently disclosed to me the modus operandi of the network in the provision of internet connection. He said that Sun Cellular intentionally limits the individual consumption of connection bandwidth resulting in very slow internet connection. This is the reason every subscriber experiences speedy connection in the first week of his/her internet usage and exasperatingly sluggish connection later on. This service is truly a scam.

I was victimized. I acquired my connection 4 months ago thinking it would be of big help to me since I conduct an online English tutorial. I am ensnared in the 2-year lock-in period. It’s bullshit.

i’ve been a suncellular postpaid subscriber for 3 years now.

for the past 2 billing statements, i’ve been charge for unknown reason. yes, tit was reflected in my billing statement, a number figure and the price charge… no detailed/itemized of number of minutes/hours i have been connected to internet. hindi ko man nga na consume ang 600 plan ko, pero umabot ng 1300php ang bill ko due to 600++ na charge sa internet… pag ginagamit ko ang internet, 10-30 minutes lang ako online at madalang na madalang.

when i called the hotline, sabi nila “IT DOESNT MEAN SIR NA PAG WALA NA YUNG INDICATOR NG EDGE/3G, NAKA LOG OUT NA PO KAYO SA INTERNET. HANDSET DEPENDENT PO MINSAN.” and sabi ko, “i need to see the itemized/detailed charges:the exact date, time, and duration of my internet usage”… sabi ng customer representative “hindi po possible sir. hindi naman po kasi macha-charge kung hindi po kayo nag connect”..

if this will be the case, wala kaya hidden agenda ang mga networks? they are so keen in charging our usage, but they dont keep some records for tracking purposes… ano ba ang magiging laban nating mga consumers dito?

globe and smart prepaid: bigla na lang nawawala ang load. even senator enrile was a victim of this phenomenon.

what do you think guys?

I’m back guys…

I already had my Sun subscription disconnected. To Sun Broadband Service: I would give -10 rating!!!
For their customer service: -10
For their Technical Support: -10
For their Billing department: perfect 10!!!
Hooray! for those motherfuckers! They are all a bunch of suckers!
Take Note guys: even if you document everything for your complain so you can file a dispute…even if you have a CONSISTENT 27kbps for your DL for the whole month, they would say: “your connection is on the average speed for normal web browsing and video streaming”; and your file for dispute will be disapproved!!!

So, a word of advise, to all who are planning and who has an existing Sun broadband, don’t waste your money and time to Sucker company!!! All they care about is profit!!! Just for the sale of a USB modem, they have 200%-300% minimum profit and trust me, they put more portion of their budget to their marketing department so they can fool more customers. They should have their company Logo:
“Who Cares???, we don’t”
With Sun broadband…you can have the SPEED OF UP TO 0.000000*****0000001 bit per second and that’s a BURST SPEED so GOODLUCK!!!
Might as well send a letter through Post Office or visit your friend’s house for a chat if you have a Sucker Sun Broadband!!!

I think sun is more stable that smart and globe. I tried the VPN and its good the signal is not that perfect but the stability of it is really great. Unlike other network like globe and smart na pasundot sundot hehehe. Also these smart comm CRAP company disable the VPN connectivity in their USB plug in broadband – what a stupid thing to do for bunch of looser! They only look into profit and not the service to the customers.

Nakakainis ang sun, i got my sun broadband plan 799 last january at first it was all good and then lately hndi na, im here from pasig and i can say, ok naman signal ng sun here pero hndi ko alam kung bakit ba nkpabagal ng sun esp sa online games, i tried before ok naman xa with that but now, sbrang bagal. i cant even open any social networking sites esp fb.. I think hndi naman prob ng fb yun, sun ang my problem… dati im using xp i can eject the sun usb kaso nagkrun ng problema with the connection so i decided to have my laptop reformat and put windows 7 on it.. So now, right now its 1am in the morning yet the connection SUCKS parin. i cant open my fb. bagal ng loading. and dun din sa accounts mu, nadouble din kme after the 3 mos witholding period.. fix this mess sun, ang dameng nagrereklamo sainyo.

guys basta wireless depende sa area yan, kung malakas ang signal s area weder ur using sun, globe or smart magnda mrireceive mo bandwidth…so b4 u buy or subscribe to a wireless broadband make sure kung anong network ang malakas s area nyo…and dont expect n lging mgnda connection kc nga wireless sya thru cgnal lng kc and dont be fooled by the speed they will give…kya nga lging me UP TO ang cnsbi ng promo so dont expect n f u subscribe for 1mbps ull always get 1mbps..up to lng sya, worst sobrang baba p…make sure n me tech support ang network n aaplyan nyo…lyk d 2 big network.

Not in my case, I have a full bar signal and yet my maximum DL is 200kbps, HSDPA pa! That is their marketing ads, you’ll have a good signal pero kokontrolin nila ang traffic sa mga ports sa server nila and then sabihin nila sa inyo na depende sa area nyo kung ilan gumagamit. Hindi ba dapat, pagdami ng subscriber mo, itataas nila ang open ports sa server nila at dagdagan servers pa to accomodate increase; which is take note iba ang server ng prepaid nila sa postpaid nila! Yun na nga din ang kalokohan e, UP TO DAW, pero ni minsan sa loob ng mahigit isang taon naka SUN ako, di ko naranasan ang UP TO NA SINASABI NILA!

To everybody out there, I suggest before you apply, ask anyone in your area how Sun performs so that di kayo maloloko.

Naintindihan ko sinasabi ni MANDALUYONG! Panu nangyayari na mas mataas pa UPLOAD mo versus DLOAD – it is because nasa control nila talaga ang traffic ng network and ang alloted lang per subscriber e nasa 50kbps lang!

At ang tech ng sun even customer service sa hotline man o sa business center kulang sa training ng basics ng customer service. Magreklamo ka, maiinis pa sa’yo-masyadong pinepersonal na akala yata e sa kanila nabubwisit ang mga customer nila at di marunong ng empahty!

Eto pa malala din diyan sa SUN na yan, sa mga postpaid phone lines nila…sa kanila lang ako naka-experience twice na bigla na lang mag invalid SIM mo! AND TAKE NOTE, ang REPLACEMENT NG SIM AY MAY BAYAD NA P150!!! F%*&! Prevailing sim card prices sa market is P40 na lang sim and yet ikaw na subscriber ka e dapat privelege na ng subscriber yun na free replacement mga bagay na yan!!!

For everybody’s info! SUN don’t support websites that make you download files even temporary internet files kaya wag na kayo magtaka kung bakit nadidisconnect kayo kapag naka-FB ka and mostly YOU TUBE – as stated sa Fuckin’ FAIR USAGE POLICY nila!!!

Dapat pinapakialaman na ng gobyerno tong mga bagay na ito! Malamang pakikialaman lang nila to kapag apektado na rin sila like what happened to Manong Johnny – gaano katagal na ba na naexperience natin yung nawawala na lang bigla mga load natin at lagyan ng expiry ang load na binayaran na natin, hindi naman perishable commodity binebenta nila para magkarun ng expiration date!
