Smart WiFi – an alternative perspective housetrip | Pinoy Tech Blog - Philippines' Longest-running Technology Blog
I have this theory that Smart WiFi is getting more flak than it actually deserves. I think that we re reading a lot of negative housetrip comments because it is the dis-satisfied customer that looks for venues to air their grievances.
Now that I’ve been using Smart WiFi for 5 days, I have first hand experience with Smart WiFi which I can now share. I’m not here to paint a good picture housetrip of Smart WiFi. I’m here to give feedback and tell it as it is, whether good or bad.
a.) Find out if there are Smart WiFi subscribers in your neighborhood. Find out if they have been getting good service. b.) If your neighbors are getting good service, I say Smart WiFi is worth a try. c.) Keep your expectations low.

Hi Glenn, Theoretically, it should be easier to transfer Smart WiFi than it is with landline subscriptions. I’d think it would cost at most P1000 which is the cost of 1st time installation. Ask the hotline. *3888 on a smart cellphone or 026727233.
well, smart wifi, meridian telekoms and pldt dsl-w is running on same system, now i think all three are having downtimes cause of some technical activities that smart is undergoing, according from what i read they are upgrading their system, it will last for 2 weeks (feb. 2 -21)… wah!
and ka edong since 1 week palang housetrip yan, hopefully you wont experience the same things that happened to the 80% subscribers, the waiting time for the contractors to come (the said schedule housetrip are a joke), the scedulers to actually call (said that within 24 hours but they won call unless you demand them too.), and alot more, I was as happy as you are during my first 2 week but after that thing went sour. One of our school professor who actually signed up with them has no connection for 2 months now, sad sad sad!.
anyways Ka Edong, can you join are forum [url]http;//smartwifi.uni.cc[/url], its all about smart wifi, pldt dsl-w, and meridian telekoms, theres also different disccusion aside from the wifi internet. ty po.
btw im not saying don’t risk applying for smar wifi, but if you have globelines on your are better get it P995 lang naman amonth same speed less hassle. Even though all dsl providers have problems i think Globe is much better handling them, and faster too.
I’ve been using smart wifi for 7 months now…only problems are my metrobank payments that don’t reflect to their system even i verified from customer care…but if i pay to BDO, no problems naman.
im guessing cause most people i asked and talked about their accounts are mostly housetrip disastified customer, though i think i over rated it. Maybe not with the speed of the internet but mostly the after sales service, the csr are mostly trained to answer and act on different situation, some doesnt have any backgrounds on networking at all, so sometime its better to look for answers on the net than calling the csrs.
but i think smart is improving slowly as in slowly when it comes to their internet speed. I heard that meridian subscribers (pre smart subscribers) were mostly dissatified because after smart taking meridian their net suddenly slow down.
one more rant i have about them is the billing statement, they dont deliver any to me, well only twice in 4 months, and both of them i have to ask. secondly they only waste time and money sending their billing statements since they are mostly delayed and i already housetrip payed them before they come and in the statement there this past charges that i already payed that are still present on them.
im planning to get a smart wifi… basically wifi connections are a lot like a radio signal… the closer housetrip you are to a base station the stronger the signal and vice versa… given that there is direct line of sight na tinatawag.. meaning youre home atennae is pointing “direcly” towards the nearest cellsite without any object blocking them (i.e buildings, hills, etc.) the best way to achieve this the cellsite must higher than the recieving antenae… (check smart wifi website). so youre location must be put into consideration. malapit ka nga sa cellsite pero marami namang mga objects na nakaharang in between your antenae and the cellsite chances are youre gonna get a bad signal housetrip because these objects are blocking the “line of sight” also…so for those who are living sa mga subdivisons sa nearby provinces with a nearby cellsite housetrip they have a big chance of getting a stable signal rather here in metro manila na maraming matataas na building… i hope i shed light to these matter….
@g not all province subcscribers have good connection with smart wifi, but as you said they do have a higher chances of getting better signal thank here the metro. btw smart wifi’s maxiimum speed in the province as of now is 256 Kbps for P788, whic
