Switching to Sky Broadband; Ditching Smart Bro
Last Friday, 12 Jun 2009 — the entire Philippines is celebrating the commemoration of its 111th Independence Day — the Sky Broadband servicing team finally made their way to install their cable modem at our place.
With Smart Bro, here’s what I get:
Now, with Sky Broadband (same monthly subscription fee with Smart Bro):
With the same MSF (Monthly Service Fee) as with Smart Bro, I will no longer be in contact with lousy customer service agents and no more long lines of queue at their business centers just for a simple request to be done. The Sky Broadband customer service is indeed very good — cannot be matched by Smart nor Globe.

as for me, I would stick with smartbro.
I am very much contented with its services. Switching would be hassle for me because that would be another application and waiting.
I found this video, testing smart internet speed connection, maybe you should try to wathc and observe it:

skybroadband is too expensive for me. I’d rather go prepaid, and i recommend it to those on a budget. here’s a review I found, go check it out. http://blog.knightlust.com/?p=143
so hows the skybroadband connection after a month? I have been looking for reviews sa skybroadband and there much more less to be found yet, maybe siguro kakaunti pa lang talaga ang subscribers up until now. any updates on their internet services?
hey guys! no need to switch. smartbro updated its bandwidth.

wow! ur free from Smart Bro. Ako mag momove na din sa Sky Broadband kahit nabayaran ko na 1 year advance ang smart bro. Di ko na matiis. palagi akong walang internet. Ngayon naka 3G lang ako kasi bulok ang Smart Bro ko. 0.10 MBPS lang download speed.
Gusto ko e avail yung 12MBPS, kaso mahal. hehehe… ok na pala yung 999 plan nila, mukhang mas mabilis na at sulit. 
Bulok parin serbisyo ng internet dito sa pinas, compare to S. Korea and other part of Asia. At kung ikukumpara pa sa US at UK lalo na.
sus! ano b yan mga customer relations officer ng skybroadband la kbuhay buhay. kc ng inquire me re s service nla here in tondo d msabi kung mgkkaroon ng expansion. pk train na mabuti un mga CRO nyo please lang.
so mabilis din ba ang connection ng sky broadband sa san jose del monte city?.. question lang para sa mga naka try na ng ISP dito sa san jose… thanks

TRUE!!! Two thumbs up!
If you are a gamer,developer, IT ,or if your expecting a consistent connection, dont go the SKY BROADBAND way, mag sisisi lang kyo.service will be good for the first 15-30 days and the rest is hell.
Skybroadband PANG SURF LANG, in short, parang dial up lang din haha. (thats a bitter laughter, i was screwed, i subscribed to it)
heres the real deal, sabi nila kanila pinakamataas na download speed, yan primary marketing ploy nila, and yet bawal torrent sa skybroadband, pag nag torrent ka, the fastest bandwidth youl get is 56kbps, unlike pldt mydsl which could go as high as 1 mbps. with normal download, 1mbps subscription, sky at best ,offpeak, can provide you with 70-100 kbps..way far off from the advertised rate.BEWARE..CAVEAT EMPTOR.
