   Hmmm, depends on coverage and speed, and connection reliability.

   Have you tried it yet?

   By the way, could you help me how to setup the uMobile internet connection through my phone? Do you have the connection details? Thanks.

   @bloggista - Have not tried it yet. What phone do you use? If it’s a Nokia, it’s easy, just change the access point name in your Data Packet settings. put “umobile” on it. hehe. nosebleed ako kuya. hahaha

   Here’s good news! SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS now offers Unlimited Broadband Internet service for as low as P649/month with speeds of up to 2Mbps. 3 ways to avail of Sun Broadband Wireless:

   1) Existing Sun postpaid subscribers add only P649/month to your existing Plan. That’s P150 discount/month on your broadband subscription. This offer is also available to new Sun Postpaid subscribers. Great offer!!!
   2) For those who prefer to only get the Sun Broadband Wireless service, pay only P799/month. Just submit your Valid Identification (SSS, Diver’s License, PRC Card, etc), Proof of Billing and Proof of Income (2 months credit card bills, existing internet subscription bill, and postpaid subscription bill of Globe/Smart/Addict can be used as proof of billing and income.) Other bills like Meralco, Manila Water, Cable TV bills, PLDT/Innove/Bayantel bills can also be used depending with the bill amount.
   3) EASY BROADBAND!!! Now this is the easiest way to get an Internet Broadband service instantly. Just pay P2,500 as modem fee and P799 for the advance MSF and present your Valid ID with address (driver’s license, company ID with address, etc) If there’s no address on your ID, just submit a billing statement (doesn’t have to be under your name) where Sun can send the bills to.

   For any inquiries, you may call 333 on your Sun phone, dial 3953333 using a landline or visit the nearest THE SUN SHOP outlet.

   Sun Broadband Wireless is adding more and more 3.5G cellsites in Quezon City, Makati, Mandaluyong, Las Pinas, Paranaque, Bicutan, Pasay, Pasig, San Juan, Marikina, Valenzuela, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Cainta and Antipolo. So this means faster internet service using HSDPA! If you’re using a 3G phone, turn on the UMTS/3G network feature under Network Settings and manually search the network to check if you have Sun Cellular 3G signal at your place. In places not covered by Sun’s 3G service yet like Cebu, Davao, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, etc there’s the EDGE service that offers about 256kbps, not bad for just P649/month.

   This service competes directly versus Globe Visibility, Smart Broadband and PLDT WeRoam that charges at least P1,500/month for unlimited internet.

   When I first got my SBW geez, madadala ata ako sa bilis ng service. Imagine, nagbburst siya up to 250-300kbps per download ko except torrents ala dial up ang connection dun. So I was a very satisfied customer then I even have my boyfriend got one for himself na rin kasi for the price napaka-convenient/practical until one night, April 27, 2009 ampotah it dropped to 4.75kbps max na lang ang download ko at napaka-consistent hanggang ngayon June 4, 2009 ganon pa rin. Mga peste, manlilinlang ng customer 100+ times na ko tumawag ng Sun Hotline I have the call escalated to a supervisor 5x na ata or more in fairness wala pa rin nangyari. Pumunta na ko sun shop to expedite the process wala pa rin.

   So sa mga nagbabalak kumuha ng Sun Broadband Wireless if you want a dialup connection after a month, helpless technical support service at useless/misleading “broadband” internet connection, go for it. Anyway, P649 additional lang nmn if you have Plan 350 w/ suncell unlimited connection pa dabah?! Un nga lang tied kayo for 2yrs else bayad ka pre-termination fee kapag di mo na talaga ma-take ang service like me but of course I’m taking it to the next level na. Spread the word, it will save you time and money! Kung carry naman ng budget go for globe or smart or pldt weroam na lang at least sa globe 35kbps ako, sa smart 50kbps pldt haven’t tried pero ung dsl nila the best, very consistent ang speed! Naka-assign nabandwidth sakin it 1.2mbps kahit 1mbps lang supposedly ung nasa plan ko.

   Bulok ang sun!
