This is crazy and just for the record:
I just see speeds over my Smart/PLDT connection over 150Kb(yte)/s, sometimes going down to 60 or 80.
The Globe network still sometimes gives some strange results so I decided to run an office download over Smart that lately mostly just only works daytime.
I don’t get it anymore.
So now I’ll be soon limited in speed because I have passed the monthly data limit while most of the month my connection was unusable?
I don’t get it.
And very irritating to see an advertisement of Smartbro for unlimited surf while I was just testing a webpage. As I know with Smart (and Globe) unlimited does not mean unlimited:
And many people, including me, have nowhere to go but Smart and Globe for internet access. So where to go if you even need internet? And I guess most people do right now and I and many others in The Philippines even depend on it for their livelihood.
And the big question remains why, why annoy people so much with all kinds of limits that seem to hide all kinds of internal organizational or technical problems. Why not give a simple, one maximum speed like 1Gb/s, unlimited connection. I’ll be a customer for lifetime, same like I guess most other post paid subscribers, so why annoy me?
And yes, I rather be happy about Smart (and Globe) and recommend it to friends and customers as I was and did for many years. So why, why annoy me, and so many others with bad connections, bad service and speed limits called Fair Usage Policy nobody understands? But now, for the last few months I am nothing but complaining to my friends. And I figured I have reason, as it seemed to be so simple as from 2006 to 2013(?!) I had a simple, unlimited, fixed speed connection through Smart. And it worked perfect 99% of the time. So why not anymore? Is technology not just progressing? And yes, maybe radio frequencies are becoming scarce or something, but annoying someone who has been a customer for eight years and planning to stay that for many, many years to come?
Why not just give a simple, fixed speed, unlimited connection where that was just there from 2006 to 2013? Why?
