For the very first time, I had set foot on the City of Marikina! Why am I here? Supposedly, we’re to test the FREE WiFi access provided by SM City Marikina — the first SM Supermall to provide such freebie. The WiFi Stress Test started less than an hour ago, and I’m getting a fairly good signal:

Though SpeedTest.net is saying that I am currently located somewhere in UK(?).

We’re expecting some 300 bloggers and WiFi testers to show up at the SM City Marikina Cyberzone. Hope that all other SM Supermalls will provide Free WiFi access soon.

  1. Sana not only SM malls ang magbigay ng ganitong free WiFi.
    Mas maganda kung lahat ng mga malls ay mayroon para everywhere you go you’re connected.

  2. As my blog states,

    SM City Pampanga is also offering free public wifi access to all mallgoers. Shopping while Tweeting, facebook updates on the movies you’ve viewed and many more are now possible at SM City Pampanga!
