Sun Broadband Service state: Trinoma Mall

I recently brought my pocket Wifi when we went to the Medical City clinic last week. So I did the usual test by opening facebook, watching a clip in Youtube and browsing other sites. The Sun broadband did not disappoint.

Please see the screenshot below for the speed test

Sun Broadband Service state: Ever Gotesco Mall Commonwealth

I was in Ever Gotesco Mall the other day and was putting the Sun Broadband to the test. There were 3 users connected. We were all connected to Facebook. One was watching a clip and Youtube and connection was pretty normal. It was raining as well. Most of the time for some reason the broad band connection is somehow slow.

Check out the Screenshot from the screen test

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

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

Sun Broadband Service update


I have been looking for an internet service that would cater my online needs. I used to be a subscriber of Bayantel DSL service. Since I transferred residence, I needed to get a postpaid internet subscription. I could have chosen a prepaid service but it is too much of a hassle to reload every now and then.

I have been testing the Sun broadband service whenever I can. I have visited several places recently and I wanted to impart to you how the service is like in certain places. I have been to Sto. Tomas Pampanga. There is absolutely no service. I have no problem with the Sun prepaid cellphone service in Pampanga. The signal in that area is a lot stronger than Globe and Smart. So I concluded that Sun's cellular service and their Broadband service is not sharing the same network. That is good news and bad news about this. Assuming that is the case, it is beneficially for sun broadband user who are situated in areas where there a lot of sun cellphone user. Globe and Smart use their cell sites to provide service for both cellphone and broadband user. So what it means is that, if there are a lot of cellphone subscriber's in a particular area, chances are broadband service would be poor.

I have tried to use the broadband service in Mandaluyong, and it is pretty slow. I could only maximize the service from five o'clock in the morning until six. I also tried the service when I was in better living. The internet connection there is fast most of the time, however there are certain days when it is slow. Out of 10 days, I experienced a day of slow connection.

I primarily use sun's broadband service in San Mateo. I haven't experience any problem with browsing. But when it comes to torrent downloading, most of the time it is slow. But compared to Smart bro or Globe Tattoo, at least I could even download torrents with Sun. One more good thing about it is that I don't get disconnected. With the other network providers, I always had to reconnect from time to time
