I am in Matabungkay at the end of the road, Ligtasin Beach. SMART is the quasi provider. When it works the link (WIMAX) is ok, but certain times of the day the kink becomes congested and SMART seems to simply drop the connection which causes the router to reboot. The link is often simply not usable for an hour or two.
The best solution I have found is to take a long walk on the beach. SMART support and service is a nightmare. Getting involved with them is like kicking a sponge that is a mile long. The Internet provision in the Philippines is all marketing oversold and underperforming. Also their name servers fail repeatedly for anything other than popular movies on youtube, which may be cached somewhere nearby. The performance on these movies is surprisingly good. So it goes, BobLQ On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 5:40 PM, Holden Hao <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 4:29 PM, Bob La Quey <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I am using a Chromebook.
