Sun Broadband Service state: UP Ayala Technohub

I brought my laptop in UP Technohub and I am testing the Sun Broadband service. I am downloading files and browsing the internet at the same time. It is quite slow and pretty manageable. It would take a while though to open a site.

I checked the internet speed using speedtest.net. It takes a while to test the internet speed using this site. After five minutes of waiting, I got the results Download speed is at 0.36 Mbps (368.64 kbps) while upload speed 0.21 Mbps (215.04 kbps).  Based on the Sun broadband panel, the current internet speed would around 60 kbps to 200 kbps. The speed is fluctuating and most of the speed based on the Sun broadband panel would be around 50 kbps. I also tried checking using bandwidthplace.com. Download speed is at 268 kbps (33.5 KB/sec transfer rate) while upload speed 186 kbps (23.3 KB sec transfer rate).

In conclusion, the broadband service in UP Ayala Technohub is around 6 (highest is 10). I encountered difficulty in accessing some sites. I received an "Page cannot be displayed" or "No data received" on some sites. I tried watching Julie Ann's cover of superbass  from you tube and it took me two attempts to watch it. During the first attempt I encountered a "No data received error prompt". The second attempt went smoothly. I tried uploading a video in Facebook  (something that I have been trying in San Mateo). I wasn't able to upload it as well

Smart Bro Rocket Plug-it

I am always on the lookout for a internet service that would cater to my needs. I have been using a Sun Broadband plug-it for months and I am pretty much satisfied with the service. Now SmartBro has released a broadband that could reach up to 12 Mbps on a HSPA+ network. But here is the catch, there are only 150 HSPA+ sites in the Philippines. So that simply means that you could reach the 12 mbps speed only on some parts of the country. Some parts of Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao has HSPA+ connectivity.

This sounds promising on paper. But I wonder if someone using the Rocket plug could actually maximize the usage. Another problem that I see here is that, it is initially in prepaid. That means you have to reload your account from time to time to stay connected.

So even though you could reach a maximum of 12 mbps , the minumum connection speed is around 12 to 48 kbps. So does that mean that if your not within a HSPA+ zone, connection speed would be something similar to a regular Smart Bro plug-it?

I would like to get a Rocket plug-it but I have my doubts. I am not sure if the rocket plug it would meet my internet needs.

Sun Broadband Service state: Marikina

I am currently in the border of Barangay Banaba San Mateo Rizal and Marikina City. And I am testing out the Sun Broadband Service. I am quite satisfied with the service. I am staying in a friends place and I would have to say that Sun broadband service here is okay!

I reside in Ampid San Mateo Rizal and I have no problem in connecting with the service. The only problem that I have is the speed. Sometimes the connection is slow and would be really fast only from 2 o'clock in the morning until 5'oclock. Since I am a heavy internet user, I need a internet service that is fast.

I wonder if it's Sun's fair use policy that is kicking in that's why I am experiencing slow connection speed sometimes or the fact that Sun was bought by PLDT (who owns Smart Communications). I had bad experiences with the Smart Bro plug it service. So I hope Sun's cellular services doesn't deteriorate


San Beda and San Sebastian still spotless

The San Beda Red Lions and San Sebastian Stags are both still undefeated after winning 7 games each. Both teams would try to get win number 8 with respective opponents this Aug 10, 2011. The Stags would be facing the Cardinals while the Lions would meet the Heavy Bombers for the first time this season.

Both teams would most likely reach the finals again this year. Last year they clashed during the finals to earn the title of the Men's basketball  championship for Season 86. San Beda Lions emerged victorious with their historical perfect sweep of season 86. This year both teams would still try to bring it home. The Stags would definitely want to redeem themselves from last year's loss. San Beda Lions on the other hand would want to prove to everyone that they could still win championship without American Sudan Daniels.

I have said it before. If you're from San Beda, you definitely want the Lions to repeat history by completing the sweep. If you're not, you would pray that they lose to San Sebastian this August 19, 2011. San Beda did a historical 18 game sweep last year. No team in the NCAA has done a whole season sweep for two consecutive season. If they did do it again, that would be history. If San Beda wins this year, it would their 16th title. That would tie them up with Colegio de San Juan de Letran with 16 title and is currently the School win the most championship title in the NCAA. San Beda is second with 15 title followed by Ateneo de Manila with 14 titles when they were still in the NCAA.
