Poll: What’s your back-up internet like?

For some people, having a back-up internet plan is a must if they need to be connected to the net ask the time. Usually, back-up options are often cheaper, nomadic and portable.

If you’re one of those who carry some sort of back-up internet, go hit the comments and share with us what it’s like.

Mine’s pretty simple but more redundant — a Smart Bro Share-It (postpaid), a Globe MyFi (prepaid), and a Sun Cellular USB dongle (prepaid, with Sapido mobile router). Update: I forgot I also have that Bayan Broadband USB stick (postpaid) but it’s being used by my staff.

The uber slow Smart Prepaid is my back-up internet. Pretty useful for checking newsletters.

Well, my back-up internet is my celphone. Been an iPhone with Supersurf subscriber under Globe. Now a Galaxy S2 with Supersurf. And I’m happy with it (except for Globe’s HSPA+ not reaching my expectations).

My back up internet is my Globe Tattoo Broadband and my Smart Bro. Both of them are prepaid. My PLDT myDSL was upgraded from 1Mbps to 3Mbps and its been really reliable. I use my Smart Bro and Globe Tattoo Broadband everytime I leave home and there is no Wi-Fi around. I use them if ever I have to pay for a Wi-Fi connection. That’s why I’m a bit disappointed with some Starbucks branches were I have to pay Php 100 for an hour of internet. It sucks!
