those proxies and OpenDNS are useless

it is faster not to use them

Just the tweaks

I live in Bagong Silang, caloocan City

250-460Kbps with no tweaks or whatsoever.

its just pure basestation randomness.XD

@everyone reading this - guys, if you know a good dns server other than opendns please tell me. and other proxies also.

*Reminder to Everyone: whatever you do, if your basestation sucks, everything will be FUTILE.

1.3k O_O. too overpriced.

@everyone again - don't use proxy.meridian.ph coz sometimes it will forward you to www.meridiantelekoms.com >.<

Are you referring to SmartBRO technician? Actually, as far as I know, smart is paying P 450 PER VISIT to their contractors. I.e. EPINS, UMI etc. It's up to them (said contractors) how many technicians they want to send for every subscriber. I think they only need to send one or two people depending on the problem. Sometimes, they are sending two or more technicians, what will happen to P 450 then? As per their ( technicians) salary, it actually depends on their bosses ( contractors ).

If you are in that business, do you want your contractors to do the same thing? I mean you trusted those contractors to help you fix the problem of their subscribers, but they don't do their job that well ( not all ). Sometimes, the low salary that they ( technicians ) are talking about depends on their bosses ( technicians ).

I am not actually in favor of smart in general, but sometimes be considerate. The bad thing is, SMART SHOULD STOP INSTALLING NEW SUBSCRIBERS UNTIL THEY FIXED all their congested base stations.

Anyway, repairing those base stations is not that easy in a big business. But in fairness to them, some base stations in north luzon especially in bataan and zambales were already fixed ( but still not all of them).

We are looking forward now in fixing their base stations in some part of bulacan, metro manila, palawan, laguna area and some part of visayas and mindanao! hehehe.. 

I agree. Enough said.

@Procopio - if I'm the boss of Smart, there will be no "tons" and i mean tons of calls on the hotline and post talking about tweakings.

contractors are not the ones holding the money. ika nga nila "dumadaan lang ang pera at kame lang ang tagakontrata" technician are not at fault too. they are just laborers and they have no power to change anything because POWER is MONEY and MONEY is POWER. Technicians also wished for an upgraded basestation for the problem to lessen because they know its pointless to have a field visit when the problem is on their side.

Procopio, youre asking me about what should contractors do about salary.
how about this: i asked my technician to do a field visit to fix a clients connection. he didn't fix it because the basestation was the problem. will you not give him his salary eventhough he did a field visit? when you know that its the bosses fault that he didn't give funds for an upgraded basestation?
You answer this.^_^

what they're doing is unethical. what would Jesus Christ do?

its the BOSS who tells them where the money will go and he's telling them its going to his pocket.

i apoligize about the posts. they're off topic.T_T
lets sue Smart.^_^ We'll win if we're many. hohoho.^_^
