Smart Bro: Day 3

Author: Bob

After three (03) days of playing with Smart Bro (WiFi Internet Connection), look at my connection speed. Not bad for a 7 times faster than dial-up teaser (that’s around 392 kb/s based on 56 kb/s x 7).

For those who are asking what did I do to “increase” my connection speed, try to Google for TCPOptimizer.

Hope that helps.

Tweaking Smart Bro

Author: Bob

Less than 24 hours after my Smart Bro was installed, I posted a whooping 282 kbps download speed and 289 kbps upload speed. It has been more than 48 hours already, and I still got:

This leads me to my quest in tweaking (read: hacking) Smart Bro. Will post some results tomorrow.

Smart Bro wireless internet was installed in my place yesterday. What was advertised is 384kbps (up to 7 times faster than dial-up), but as of tonight, here is what I got:

That is based on SpeakEasy’s Internet Connection Speed Test. But according to the service technician that installed my WiFi antenna (Motorola Canopy), it may take up to 24 hours for my internet connection to eventually burst its speed up. Perhaps, I will need to wait and check my connection speed tomorrow.

Did I mentioned that it took their service technicians around 3 hours to install and configure my computer to connect with Smart Bro? They changed the installed antenna due to “some defects” three times. The antenna was installed around 60 feet off the ground (on our roof, and our house has two floors plus a 25 feet steel pipe that serves as the antenna stand).

In overall, and as of tonight, I am quite happy on my additional internet connection.
