Review Results:
** Speedtest (speedtest.net)
- Smart bro = 1.27mbps
- Globe Tattoo = 0.98mbps
- Sun Broadband = 0.38mbps
WINNER: SMART BRO
** Maximum Speed Capability
Test Condition: Multiple youtube videos loading at the same time
- Smart bro = 150 KB/s
- Globe Tattoo = 200 KB/s
- Sun Broadband = 48 KB/s
WINNER: Globe Tattoo
** Stability
I will give this category to SUN Broadband, this is because during night time connection for both Globe and Smart becomes erratic. Though the other providers give high speeds during night time, the connection becomes erratic to the point that it is very annoying (especially for Globe).
Stability Ranking:
1. Sun Broadband - Very stable, though speed is only 40-48KB/s
2. Smart Bro - Slightly unstable connection, timeout every 10-15mins (no need to reconnect). Fast connection of 50-100KB/s
3. Globe Tattoo - Crappy connection, connects but cannot browse majority of the time, timeout every couple of minutes (need reconnect). Connection is worse than dial-up.
WINNER: Sun Broadband
** Conclusion:
As of now, I would recommended SMART Bro for having high speeds, though unstable during night time, it is still tolerable.
