I’ve been in a search for a good internet connection ever since I had my residency training here in Manila but I seemingly couldn’t find a satisfactory one. When I was still in Iligan City, we had PLDT MyDSL as our internet provider, which was quite faster compared to my first connection which was SmartBro.
Since I am using the internet everywhere, and unfortunately, WiFi connections are not everywhere, I have to get a connection which I can bring anywhere, like the Smart Bro Prepaid USB Modem. The connection was fast, however, it keeps disconnected from time to time and several disconnection time is always my pet peeve. So when Sun Broadband came, I subscribed to their unlimited plan. At first there was flawless connection, however, recently, I had several downtimes and sluggish connection, especially during the night. One of the disadvantages of wireless services especially the 3G is its dependence of network signal and is altered by network congestion. Especially if you’re in Metro Manila, you expect this kind of problem [sluggish connection and several downtimes] with this 3G/HSDPA/WCDMA networks.
So now, I am thinking of switching to a 4G connection, offered by Globe Telecom with its newest Globe Wimax. The plans were quite convincing to subscribe to however, I am still searching for reviews regarding the Globe Wimax. So for those who have tried it, please give me some feedbacks about Globe Wimax.

I’m a Wimax subscriber for more than a year now. The first time I encountered Internet issue was last July 22. The issue is still unresoved until now August 15.
Their CSRs don’t know squat about internet service. One even stole my MAC and Device ID for his own use. Their field techs don’t even bother to check if the issue has been resolved. They kept closing the ticket as no trouble found so that Globe will recreate a job order and they do get paid per job. These field techs are subcontractors.
It’s also not the signal. they’ve checked and rechecked already. It’s just slow because that’s how Globe configured the connections at the base to squeeze all subscribers in a few cards.
To new subscribers, DO NOT GET ANY GLOBE DSL OR WIMAX SERVICE. It’s unsecure, slow, and bad customer service. Trust me, I’m still in Globe hell now.
