It has been three days since I started to go online using sun broadband wireless. On the first two days, I got so disappointed with my internet connection since it loads so slow averaging download speed of 50 to 60kBps. This is, despite the fact that I have signal strength of 5 bars at HSDPA, which is the highest signal strength that conventional broadband USB dongle can have. I have searched and tried several tips on how to boost broadband signal speed, but then there seems no effect since my connection already is at the maximum level.
Today at 1:30AM, out of desperation of experiencing again slow internet connection I decided to try to connect with my sun broadband wireless using different profile name setting. I usually chose sun internet to connect online, but since it consistently has slow connection, I chose sun broadband standard. After doing so, I notice that my connection become responsive in the sense that web page loads faster (as in every web page) and youtube videos have less buffer time. Download speed is also very much at far as compared to the speed test I’ve done few days ago.
I don’t know if this occurrence is just a coincidence or what, but then I suggest that you try to connect with the same profile name (sun broadband standard) to have firsthand experience of what I am talking about here.
Internet speed depends on device you are using (globe tattoo with me), time and day ( the best is monday to friday 11pm-8am), signal strength and cell site where you are connecting.
With globe tattoo prepaid, internet speed is also around 50-90kbps during heavy traffic hours.
it’s 1:30am so I think internet speed in your area is fast.
i have tried Sun but its really slow in our area but now, am using globe tattoo, its faster than sun. yeah! maybe its depends on the area.
Sun cellular service is a cheating company. They charge you gprs internet even without you using it. There are already 3 occurrence in my office mate and non had a good resolution despite reasoning with them. So, if your a postpaid subscriber and your not going to use your gprs better have it deactivated. Call their hotline or have your phone configured properly or else you’ll be robbed. This is the way they compensate their unli services by overcharging their clients. I’m note renewing my contract with them.
Thanks for sharing mam Aida.
Thanks for sharing. But for me Smart is still the best and has hi speed connection with unlimited downloads. Other usb broadband has only limited downloads
I’ve been reading this blog and responses with great interest. I’m planning to get broadband myself for a while now, and I’m torn between Smart and Sun for my laptop. I need one particularly for Skype meetings with bosses, so I guess Sun’s too slow for my needs.
Thanks
hindi tip yan. sinasabi yan sa sun pagbili mo ng broadband.
Hi…im a sun broadband user,, and so far its good and cheaper than other network…i dont have a problem with the connection,but my problem is the unwanted charges,..ex. i have a load of 50 then if i will going to use it and plug in my broadband it will automatically connect and it will automatically charge 10 peso for 30 min. ..what am i gonna do?
try nyo po sa cp magregister..
sobrang bagal talaga ng sun broadband! parang di din promo yung 100P na 3 days nila e. sa tagal ng paghihintay. parang 1 day lang ang katumbas! parang napamahal ka pa.
i recently subscribe to sun broadband postpaid, my problem is i cant reach 2Mbps download speed during 1-6 am..unlike in their prepaid, i can download 4 to 5 movies using torrent..
Sun Broadband is not recommended for download. If you want to download torrent files then use DSL.
sun broadband is really slow this blog has no use because he/she perform the test at 1:30 am , i am using sunbro and i always wake up for 2-6 session for watching dramas, but when it comes to exactly 6 am . that connection will be useless .
