Smart BRO prepaid wifi: mobile broadband access for everybody Part 1

April 23, 2008

While I was in Manila for more than a month, I was enjoying my stay at my techie bro’s condo. The only thing that made me sad was the lack of internet access, so I had to login at internet cafés just to keep myself updated with my online tasks, emails, blogs and with chatting.

It was quite tough for me since I am so used to having unlimited broadband access here at home unlike at the cafés where we had to stop at 9pm. Another thing that concerns me is the risk of getting my accounts hacked when using public computers.

Recently while watching TV, I was glad to see one commercial where Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga were running along with a lot of people and getting excited about Smart BRO’s prepaid wireless internet broadband service. Wooww… it was a dream come true for me! Exactly what I needed for my internet access concerns while on travel. Funny how I even asked some cell card dealers before if they’re selling prepaid internet cards. Now it’s finally here!

So this afternoon, I wasted no time surfing the Smart website where I got the list of authorized dealers for the kit. Here in Bacolod, it’s POS Marketing and I’m glad they have a branch in Robinsons Place which is few kilometers from home. Bringing my laptop to their shop, the Smart BRO kit was installed by their technician within minutes and voila! I now have internet access while on the go.
