Smart bro user here. May capping po ba sa amin?

pldt lang ang icacap nila para dumami ang smartbro users... smart na kasi ang may-ari ng pldt... kaya ok lang mawalan ang pldt...

Baligtad po hehe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Communications

Smart Communications is a wholly owned mobile phone and Internet service subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).

diba sir meaning ng subsidiary is partner..parang ibig sabihin ay partner lang sila ng pldt? correct me if i'm wrong ha...

palabas lang yan... matagal na nalugi ang pldt kaya nga puro strike ang mga empleyado nila dati. nalugi dahil mas dumami ang wireless at celfone users kaysa landline... malaysian na ang may ari ng smart at pldt... kasi bawal sa constitution mag own ang foreigner lalu na kapag public utility...

any news about this? lalo na sa mga pldt business plan subscribers, so how does this "cap" work? do we get to pay yung so-sobrang bandwidth usage?

so i tried calling pldt 171, di daw apektado mga pldt subscribers, although di ako sure kung updated ba yung taong naka-usap ko about the issue, ni-redirect kasi ako sa technical.

hindi naman talaga kasi mangyayari yan sa existing unlimited plans..
ano tayo pa-urong? feasible lang yang ganyang plan na may CAP sa mobile gadgets..

eto panget sa ULOP eh,
natatarantang ewan sa mga ganitong news, kala mo mga aping api haha peace

NTC junks proposed cap on Internet downloads

MANILA, Philippines—The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has scrapped a proposal to allow local telecommunications companies to limit the Internet usage of their subscribers, following stiff opposition from the public.

A day after a well-attended public hearing at the NTC headquarters in Quezon City, the regulator announced that it would now focus on ensuring the improvement of services delivered to Internet users.

The cap on the amount of data that users can download, the NTC said, would only hamper the industry’s growth.

“We are happy to announce that the provision on broadband Internet data caps has been deleted from our draft circular,” NTC Deputy Commissioner Jaime Fortes said. He was speaking to participants of the Communications Convergence Forum between the Philippines and South Korea held in Makati on Wednesday.

“We’ve removed this provision to make the discussion on the issue more lively. The provision was counterproductive to increasing Internet usage in the country,” he said.

The public consultation on Tuesday was held to hear comments from users regarding a draft circular published by the NTC. The draft rules seek to improve the quality of Internet services in the country.

However, a provision that would have allowed phone companies to limit the amount of data that users can download every day caused a stir among users.

The provision was added to the draft rules on the request of telecom firms, the NTC said. This was meant to curb the abuse of broadband networks from “bandwidth hogs,” but consumer group Txtpower said the provision would only allow companies to “cheat and abuse” its users.

Salamat at tuloy ang saya sa panonood ng streaming ng movie at TV series

good news

salamat kay sir olongapo at sir homebiz for sharing

NTC Public Information Office emailed me a copy of the revised draft of the Memorandum Order this afternoon and I uploaded it at http://www.scribd.com/doc/46730460/Draft-MO-Minimum-Speed-of-Broadband-Connections .

Ang pagkakaiba lang nito sa naunang draft na subject ng hearing kahapon ay tinanggal ng NTC ang mga probisyon sa "Broadband Cap" (No. 5 sa old draft) at "Best Efforts" (No. 2). Pansinin din ang pagkakamali sa ginawang pag-delete ng 2 probisyon na naging dahilan tuloy na mawalan ng No. 4 provision sa revised draft.

Nangangahulugan ba ito na tagumpay na ang ginawang pagtutol sa Broadband Cap at Best Efforts? I say, not yet. Ang MO ay draft pa lamang o work in progress. Magsasagawa pa ng mga dagdag na public hearings sa iba't-ibang lugar sa bansa at hihintayin pa rin ng NTC ang mga amended position papers ng mga ISP.

Ang isang stand ng mga ISP ay hindi dapat i-regulate ng NTC ang Internet service dahil ito ay isang "value-added service' lang sang-ayon sa ating batas. Ang isa pa nilang justification sa pag-iimpose ng broadband cap ay ang Fair Use Policy sa ating constitution at mga batas.

Sa wakas! Salamat po mga boss sa info! Meju kalmado na ako. :D

OFF-T-Q?> Possible po bang pwd subscribe ng internet connection from other countries?

salamat sa info sir ed
