A friend of mine is on PLDT WeRoam, the speed sucks and just a little faster than dial up. The only consolation is its internet availability anytime, anywhere as long as there is a smart cellsite nearby he can connect to the net. I think this service is more tailor fitted to working executives whose main use of the net is to send and receive e-mails on the go.. Anyone ever tried Globe Visibility? BTW, PLDT We Roam has lowered its rates and is now offering prepaid accounts with unlimited wifi connectivity. This is his speedtest result:

Thanks Doc wolvie,
Naku, halos parang dial up lang... gagamitin ko sana sa business pa naman.
So, mas ok ba na kumuha na lang ng 3g handset and makiride sa 3G bandwidth para makainternet po?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

My speed using Smart 3G via my mobile phone connected to my laptop by bluetooth.
The speed slows down if there is no available 3G connection --- ie GPRS connection only.
Note that it is slightly faster than the PLDT WERoam speedtest result I posted previously.

One problem I encountered with smart 3G is the relative difficulty downloading files from rapidshare-- telling me to finish downloading and wait for blank blank minutes before downloading again. I think the network only give static ip addy to all of those connecting by 3G.
My latest speedtest result using PLDT my DSL plan 888:

Your other option is globe's speak and surf, a wireless "landline" with wifi router.
I think gary uses the globe speak and surf. I hope he can post his speedtest result here.

These are DNS problems, try using OpenDNS (www.opendns.org), if it still doesn't work, call their hotlines.

They also have an unlimited plan available for 999. Unfortunately, IT DOESNT WORK FOR MAC yet.
I'm wondering if this service is similar as to what one can get from the smart 3G.

It's similar. You are just given a free GPRS/HSDPA/3G modem with this plan. If you use your phone to connect your laptop to the net thru 3g or HSDPA or even GPRS, then you don't need this plan.
