I hate Smart Broadband

I thought Smart is the best internet provider in the Philippines based on their TV commercials. However, it turned out that Smart’s advertisements about speed and being the best are misleading. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and not once did I experience that 2 mbps they promised. All I get is 10 kbps which is turtle-slow. I’m just wasting my money. No. I actually feel like Smart is stealing my hard-earned money. It’s taking me forever to download songs and games and I can’t even view my blogs properly. I wish there are other options. I want to switch to Sun or Globe but a friend told me those two companies are even worse. Another friend told me that he’s okay with Smart because he gets 2 mbps during off peak hours. Which is so unfair. We’re both paying the same amount and his internet connection is faster than mine. I hate Smart big time. No wonder why the salesman was encouraging me to sign up for a two-year contract. Maybe they wanted to trap me in an agreement where I would pay a thousand pesos monthly for their poor service. Good thing I didn’t bring a valid ID when I applied, ha! My officemate told me i should get PLDT MyDSL instead. It’s not that fast but at least it’s stable.
