Experience Fast Internet Connection Daw With Sun Broadband Wireless
29 Jan2009
Finally, I have internet na. Yipeee! I’m done with snatching signal from my neighbors LOL. Kaka-nosebleed mag-decrypt ng password noh. Haaay, am so haffy. I was actually rooting for Bayantel sana, kaso hassle mag apply. This one is super stress free. Just present any valid ID na may address, pay 3299pesos and voila! No power supply for the modem, walang madaming cable connection…super convenient.
Sun Broadband Wireless is a personal broadband internet service using Sun’s wide GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA network. It’s compact, fast and easy to install, and it’s affordable too, only 799 a month. This service offer a maximum speed of up to 2Mbps daw. Wow, that’s too good to be true. So I ran a speedtest and here’s what I got:
Toinks. 632Kbps upstream and 246Kbps dowstream. Anyway, this is so much better than nothing! I haven’t heard any problems with it from my colleagues who are using the same service, we shall see in the next days to come. So far, it’s doing good naman, kahit parang mukhang laruan lang sya hahaha. Watch out Pepe and Pilars, here I come! I’m back blogging 24×7 LOL

actually, maganda sya. no probs at all…and pretty fast too…portable, you can bring it anywhere you go. kaso lang, pag naging congested na…dahil sa dami ng subscribers, malamang sa malamang…pumalya din. i hope sun is doing something about it as early as now

To get the best speed with Sun Broadband Wireless:
While diconnected from the service, go to –> TOOLS –> OPTIONS –> NETWORK –> NETWORK TYPE –> select WCDMA ONLY…. This way you get connected via HSDPA at ultra-fast speeds of up to 2Mbps…

tnx to this post…just got my sun wireless a couple of days ago…at first the connection is fine but on my second day my connection went slow(like a dial-up) and got only EDGE SUN in my network…i think that’s slows down my connection(EDGE Network) now I got back the speed by setting my network to WCDMA only…tnx

hello. its nice to see a helpful blog like this for Sun broadband. I am already subscribed to this service for two months now and here’s what i got: on the 1st month the speed was just super fast but on the 2nd month (June) the connection suddenly became dial up speed. How I noticed? Im a heavy downloader and now I download on average 60MB-100MB an hour. Last month I averaged 200MB-300MB per hour.
Any special settings the one you mentioned? thanks thanks

Here’s good news! SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS now offers Unlimited Broadband Internet service for as low as P649/month with speeds of up to 2Mbps. 3 ways to avail of Sun Broadband Wireless:
1) Existing Sun postpaid subscribers add only P649/month to your existing Plan. That’s P150 discount/month on your broadband subscription. This offer is also available to new Sun Postpaid subscribers. Great offer!!!
2) For those who prefer to only get the Sun Broadband Wireless service, pay only P799/month. Just submit your Valid Identification (SSS, Diver’s License, PRC Card, etc), Proof of Billing and Proof of Income (2 months credit card bills, existing internet subscription bill, and postpaid subscription bill of Globe/Smart/Addict can be used as proof of billing and income.) Other bills like Meralco, Manila Water, Cable TV bills, PLDT/Innove/Bayantel bills can also be used depending with the bill amount.
3) EASY BROADBAND!!! Now this is the easiest way to get an Internet Broadband service instantly. Just pay P2,500 as modem fee and P799 for the advance MSF and present your Valid ID with address (driver’s license, company ID with address, etc) If there’s no address on your ID, just submit a billing statement (doesn’t have to be under your name) where Sun can send the bills to.
For any inquiries, you may call 333 on your Sun phone, dial 3953333 using a landline or visit the nearest THE SUN SHOP outlet.
Sun Broadband Wireless is adding more and more 3.5G cellsites in Quezon City, Makati, Mandaluyong, Las Pinas, Paranaque, Bicutan, Pasay, Pasig, San Juan, Marikina, Valenzuela, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Cainta and Antipolo. So this means faster internet service using HSDPA! If you’re using a 3G phone, turn on the UMTS/3G network feature under Network Settings and manually search the network to check if you have Sun Cellular 3G signal at your place. In places not covered by Sun’s 3G service yet like Cebu, Davao, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, etc there’s the EDGE service that offers about 256kbps, not bad for just P649/month.
This service competes directly versus Globe Visibility, Smart Broadband and PLDT WeRoam that charges at least P1,500/month for unlimited internet.

March 11th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Hi, I recently applied for the bundled plan as I already have two Sun post paid lines. a few days later, sabi ko WTF! as na decline daw ako! tawag ako agad and sabi lang nila declined. I found out from my brother who also applied (and declined) that it was due to our income??!! their reasoning is that with our income bracket, we could only afford two P350.00 plans!
Now, we are in the 25-30k income bracket. baka gusto nila sampalin namin sila ng pera. not to be mayabang but think of it, if ganun ang income namin and we’re applying for the lowest plan, sino na lang ang makaka afford ng mga services nila? and to think they sell themselves as the cheapest provider. and to top it all off, after the decline, they offered me the easy plan daw nila. and that plan… costs more that what i originally applied for! DUH!!!!

Anti SBW Rain
June 4th, 2009 at 12:53 am
When I first got my SBW geez, madadala ata ako sa bilis ng service. Imagine, nagbburst siya up to 250-300kbps per download ko except torrents ala dial up ang connection dun. So I was a very satisfied customer then I even have my boyfriend got one for himself na rin kasi for the price napaka-convenient/practical until one night, April 27, 2009 ampotah it dropped to 4.75kbps max na lang ang download ko at napaka-consistent hanggang ngayon June 4, 2009 ganon pa rin. Mga peste, manlilinlang ng customer 100+ times na ko tumawag ng Sun Hotline I have the call escalated to a supervisor 5x na ata or more in fairness wala pa rin nangyari. Pumunta na ko sun shop to expedite the process wala pa rin.
So sa mga nagbabalak kumuha ng Sun Broadband Wireless if you want a dialup connection after a month, helpless technical support service at useless/misleading “broadband” internet connection, go for it. Anyway, P649 additional lang nmn if you have Plan 350 w/ suncell unlimited connection pa dabah?! Un nga lang tied kayo for 2yrs else bayad ka pre-termination fee kapag di mo na talaga ma-take ang service like me but of course I’m taking it to the next level na. Spread the word, it will save you time and money! Kung carry naman ng budget go for globe or smart or pldt weroam na lang at least sa globe 35kbps ako, sa smart 50kbps pldt haven’t tried pero ung dsl nila the best, very consistent ang speed! Naka-assign nabandwidth sakin it 1.2mbps kahit 1mbps lang supposedly ung nasa plan ko.
Bulok ang sun!

guys guys guys! warning lang….kung gusto nyo ng maganda(excellent speeds) for the 1st month tapos dial-up speed the next. subscribe na kayo. when i got my sbw 2 months naman siyang mabilis.. download nga lang ako ng download ng divx movies ah.akala ko ganun lang talaga ang speed. ever since last month hangang ngaun.. lower than dial up na ang speed ko. possible reasons eh congested network, downtime.. etc… possibly kapag itinawag nyo to sa tech support nila ganyan ang sasabihin. take it from me nagtrabaho na din ako sa ISP. inoobserve ko yung connection and may 1-2 hours lang in the morning na yung bilis eh gaya ng dati,oo i could still download my divx movies & my connection still soars ONLY around 7-9am manila time. taga pasig po ako. nandito pa nga ako sa galleria ngaun para itest kung area problem lang eh. hindi pala… to what i think, its with the subscription.sun limits bandwith given to “old” users to give way to new subscribers. yung hindi ko maintindihan eh sobrang limitation naman yun. buti nalang wala akong kontrata with that forking company.

Don’t get Sun. It’s pretty slow and useless when you need it fast. It’s only ok early morning and almost useless at night with only about less than 100 kbps at night.

baka ung speed depende din sa location. i also tried using my postpaid sun sim, gamit ang e156g usb broadband. mabilis ang connection hsdpa as in one click lang. sulit na sulit dahil walang idle time.
sinubukan ko din ung usb broadband ko ng prepaid sim, ganon din ang connection. hsdpa pa rin, super bilis. kaya lang napuputol yung connection yung 30 pesos sulit na sulit dahil hindi siya katulad ng globe at smart na once nagdisconnect automatic na 10 pesos ang mabawas kahit wala pang thiryty minutes. ang sun tuloy tuloy pa rin ang connection hanggang maubos yung actual time na 30 minutes for 10 pesos. kahit may interruption ang internet connection, yung load mo hindi nauubos agad.

sayang, nagpaplano pa naman akong magSBW. Though, nakakasagap naman ako 11Mbps sa kapitbahay kaya lang pag nakaoff na sya di na ako makapagnet. kaya balak kong magSUN internet coz i heard a lot of positive reviews sa service nito. anytime anywhere puwede akong magonline, pero mukhang nagdadalawang isip na ako. parang magtitiis na lang ako sa pagsagap sa kapitbahay hanggang sa bumuti ang serbisyo ng mga network yan!

what you all should have done to begin with is to listen to the sales person that was assisting you. because they warn you about shared downloading time… if you exceed anything above a said certain amount of mbs the network automatically reads your sim and then throttles (slows) your connection speed. no mobile broadband in the world will allow you to keep on downloading without any limit. dont be so excited like a kid and not listen then to find out that it wasnt you expected. for those complaining pls pls stop look and listen before crossing the railroad. plus there are so many ways to get around this problem…. (warning!!!!) you can downgrade the or openline your huawei modem, if downloading you can download a download partitioner program so the download would be faster…. if all else fail buy another SBW sim card… so much complaining… changing your tsp/ip dont change squat either cause your still using the sim number that is given to you….. wake up!!!!!!
