I am particularly using Smart Broadband Prepaid and have been ranting about its inconsistency in internet connection. I have been getting interrupted connections since I bought the modem. I tried calling the Customer Service several times, keeping promise that they will try to look at the problem as soon as possible, but I had to wait for several days before I got an update.
My problem with my connection is that, I could connect but could not receive any data.
